Mr.. MOwbray'S Lecture.

Rev. A. S. Mowbray, pastor OF the Elkton
NJ. E. Church, lectured in the public school
building Monday night upon "King Lear"
and his effort was received with great ap-
probation The first part of tho lecture was
a brief review Of the University Extension
work and plea for more general culture
among the people. Attention was called to
value Of Shakespeares works in any persons
culture. claiming that for purpose of culture
the works OF Shakespeare stand next to the
Bible. "Krg Lear was written in 1905 and
belongs to the third period of Shakespeares
work. That Of the great tragedies. Of which
Othello is the first, King Lear the second and
Macbeth third. The materials of King Lear
are taken, with little modification, from
Hollinsheds Chronicles. Lear was King of
the Isle of Britain in the tenth century before
Christ. The lecturer told the story of Lear
and his three daughters. read extended
selections from the play and pointed out the
following lessons: The first was the fact that
Lear's disasters were largely due to unre-
strained liberty. That his career marks
lesson for all who seek to undermine the
power of law as discipline. The play en-
phasizes the fact that the lines Of morality
are rot drawn between people but through
people. 1t is not hard to tell who are the
good and who are the bad but none are en-
trely good nor any altogether bad. Third,
that vice is abnormal and carries with it the
elements of its own punishment and that
virtue is eternal aud sure OF its reward.
That the play as whole suggests the great
value of poetry in the education of the pres
ent generation. 1t is the mission of the poet
not to instruct but to move. The need Of the
age is not more knowledge but more feeling
and motive power. Hence the need of the
development and education of heart and
feeling.
