ORAroRY MUST MEYER DIE

A question that is being frequently
asked nowadays is. will the voice in
speaking hold its place in the future.
as it has done in the paste
viii it be heard in great gatherings
where the people assemble FOR enter
tainment, for Instruction or Tor the
deciding of great questions?
Time has made wonderful changes
along this line. Oratory was at one
period considered the greatest gift of
man and he who was able To sway
the multitudes by his ringing ora
tiOns was considered a great man.
This, however. Is apparently no
longer the case. Our colleges dis
courage the youthful orator: the pull
pit does not attract by itseloquence:
the lawyer does not attempt To catch
the ear OF the multitude, except in
the political campaign, and the
once popular lecture is ont OF date. .
There is no doubt that abe voice i
losing its opportunity for cultivation
and development. Discourage the
young orator in his College course.
and leave undeveloped the powers
that fit for oratory. and beautiful.
powerful, fascinating eloqucnce must
disappear
notwithstanding tie great num-
Der of books and the multitude Of
magazines and newspapers. the
speaker is needed today, Just as he
has been in the past. Probably he is
not needed as much but still he is need
ed. 1t is true that knowledge or in
struction nowadays comes more
from the printed page but the human
voice has yet great work toperform.
Truths need to be set in new
light. They need TO be made effective
in doing many kinds of service.
We want them marshalled for diff
ferent kinds of warfare. Men need To
be persuaded, encouraged. warned.
and these are the work of a speaker
not books.
When words fall from living lips.
freighted with suggestion and asso-
citation, with beauty and power. they
come TO make lasting impressions.
Says Cicero: Great is the labor in
acquiring eminence in public speak
ing, great is the thing itself. great it's
dignity and the favor and influence
connected with it"
Very few men are moved by the ST.
lent reading of book, none by it as
much as by the voice of some speaker.
Years ago, away back in We olden
time, the legislator framed laws for
his people, but not until the poet put
them into verse and recited them did
they become effective in the minds of
the people.
The historian informs us that
public speaking was theengine Of
government in Greece and the proxi-
mate cause OF obedience. 4"
OF what effect would have been the
words, give me liberty or give me
death" had they been printed and
quietly handed around rather than
hurled from the lips of an orator?
Books and magazines and newspa-
pers may give Us knowledge but
when the American people want to
SUR up enthusiasm and warm the
hearts OF Americans to a real sense
oil duty they cry out for the old time
orator.
tive us books, from whose : bark
ing pages We may gather knowledge
but when we feel hungry for impress
s,ohal truth, we prefer the orator to
the book.
