discourse over a departed member Of his
flock; the politician views it merely a. q
fine example Of political artifice; the
rhetorician delights in the richness Of it,
figures; the logician scans Its conclusion
In the light Of Its premises; the historian
notes 1t as marking an epoch in the an.
mails of Rome, and the actor, not to say
it profanely, beholds it a. . rack Oh
which to hang his effects of attitude and
gesture. We thus read Shakespeare In
tho light Of our vocationa We cannot
get away from the mental habits Of our

still is 1t to break away from the spirit
Of the age In which we live. Involunta-
