Open Air Speaking

The New York Christian Advocate has
some advice In regard to speaking in
the open air" which may be good for
speakers anywhere Here is an item OF
two:
For few mInutes-say, two or three
make no effort to be heard by the whole
assembly, if it be large Let something
be said worthy the hearing, but not essen
tial to an understanding of what follows,
noticing as the voice gradually rises. till il
begins to be head by all, then make thii
the key-tone. Pay no attention to the
man who screams Louder
Remain IN one place. Do NJ. i'm
around to address the chair, or to the
body from side to side, or ubulate the
platform like Gagged hy cna, meanwhile
hogling.
Cry aloud, therefore, brethren and spare
not. Give the people the best thought IL
the best language. ard may the oratory Of
the summer of 1891 help forward patriot
ism, learning, temperance, philanthropy,
and religion.
This ap-opos of the open-air speaking

If man were the only sufferer on account
of his own shortcomings, his acts would
occasion comparatively little sorrow; but
aged parents, loving and dependent wives,
and children who look up to him with
tTustful confidence, are the ones on
whom the blow falls the heaviest. 1t
is for them, for these ones so
innocent of the wrong that has brought
them all to tears, that a tender hearted
humanity weeps. For BardsIey, the der
ehct treasurer of Philadelphia, no grief
is felt. His fate is just though he be
forced to remain behind prison doors for
fifteen years; but how the heart melts at
the thought of those gentle ones whom the
stern law even forbids the poor consOla-
tion of seeing his tace once in three long
months
