MISS FDUARDS'S LECTURE.
SHE TALKS on THE LITERATURE AND RELIGION
OLE ANCIENT EGYPT

OF ANtIBNI I-'i l.
large and apprecative audience assembled In
Chickering Hall last evening to hear Miss Amelia t.
Edwards lecture on "rhe Literature and Religion of
Ancient Egypt The substance of the lecture al
follows:
The possession Of an alphabet does not necessarily
mplv literary inclnations on the part of those who
have mastered this step in the march Of progress. The
Romans carved thcir laws and national events on stone
and bronze for centuries before they wrote histories
dramas and odcS papyrus parchment. Literature
is the fmit Of leisure. Nations going through a
struggle for existence called forth soldiers and not
poets and of such peoples only the sung in
camp remain. 1t is only when the arts of peace take
their place side by side with those Of that poems
are written and not sung and histories written with
the pen and not the sword. If the ancicn~ had not
discovered papyrS should not have the literature OF
Greece. Egypt Rome. and without paper we should
have possessed the literature Of the Renaissance
The Egyptians did not have 10 make any great
struggle for existence at the outset of their national
life. The Egyptians Of the first twelve dNhasue'
were IA pastoral and peaceful people, we'll content
with their LOT in this life and much occupied with
preparation for the next world. The Egyptians loved
