Genius of Ireland.

The genius of Ireland is curiously
paradoxical subject, and requires q
study to itself. Though so many
great men have been associated with
Ireland, when we analyze them accord
ing to race we find that remarkably
large proportion of them are of English
Or Scotch descent. Bishop Berkeley, for
instance, is often called an Irishman,
though his father was English (his
mothers origin is unknown), and
though he always considered himself
an Englishman. The great Irish pa
triots have usually had English blood
in their veins, and have sometimes even
been proud of the fact. And yet, while
this is SO, Ireland has somehow had
the art of imparting some of her
subtlest qualities to those happy Eng
lishmen who had the good fortune to
possess some slight strain of her
blood, or to be born in her land, or
even to have lived there in youth. The
greatest English humorists and wits
Swift and Sterne and Congreve-had
this good fortune. In the same way.
while Ireland has scattered her saints
over England and the continent, her
own patron saint is Scotchman, who
was never canonized. The contribution
Of Ireland to our national genius cam
not well be stated in numerical values.

our lungs and our heart and our hea6.
Do you wonder that the world is so
far from being converted when you
find so little vivacity in the pulpit and
in the pew? We want, like the Lord,
to plant in our sermons and exhorta-
tions more lilies of the field. We want
fewer rhetorical Celebrations and
fewer susquipedalian words, and when
we talk about shadows we do not want
to say adumbration and when we
mean queerness we do not want to
talk about idiosyncrasies, or if a stitch
in the back we do not want to talk
about lumbago; but, in the plain ver-
nacular of the great masses, preach
that Gospel which proposes to make
all men happy, honest, victorious and
free. In other words, we want more
cinnamon and less gristle. Let this
be SO in all the different departments
OF work to which the Lord calls us.
Let us be plain. Let us be earnest.
Let us be common-sensical. When we
talk to the people in vernacular they
can understand, they will be very glad
to come and receive the truth we pre-
sent. Would to God that Queen Balkis
would drive her spice-laden drome-
daries into all orr sermons and prayer
meeting exnortations!
More than yaas, we want more Life
