The Rev. DR.. D. J. Stafford. in his lecture
on Hamlet" delivered last night at the
National Theatre, provided an intellectual
treat for an appreciative audience The
lines Of Shakespeare were given by the
lecturer with great effect. eliciting the
most generous applause from his auditors
The lecture was a careful analysis Of
the poets conception of the character of
Hamlet. and opposed the Interpretation Of
the Danes insanity. Dr. Stafford took I'D
the points Of the arguments supporting
the supposition OF insanity. Commenting
on the ghost scene, he said:
Hamlet knew, from the fact that the
ghost Of his father had drawn him into
seclusion to impart his dread tale, that
the communication was not to be divulgsd.
So when HoTatio rushed up to him after
the departure OF the ghost be grasps with
out reconciliation at the idea Of feignng
insanity as afIording an easy method of
evadlng the questioning OF his friend. The
success Of his plan induced him to con-
tinue to act the part, as affordlng a facile
means TO provide him with opportunity.
without fear Of interruption, to consider
the course he must pursue, in avenging
the death Of his father"
DR.. Stafford spoke OF the soliloquy OF
Hamlet as thoughts on the future of the
human soul. and not as commonly consid-
cred, as thoughts on death. In conclusion
Dr.. Stafford said: We think Of Hamlet
as still alive. 1t is a complete philosophy
that Shakespeare has presented to us-his
own consideration Of future life. He has
given US a solution OF the great mystery"
The attendance at the lecture included
