sUPT. JOINER ON MACBETH.
He Drew Some Very Forcible Lessons From
the Great Play Last Night

Supt. j. Y. Joyner lectured last night
at the Baptist Female University or
'How Great Crime Was Wrought" 1t
was splendid study of the underlying
lessons of Shakespeare Macbeth.
The story of Macbeth was character
lied as the temptation, the fail and dam
nation of human soul; the old, old
story that has been repeated over and
over again since the story of Adam and
Eve.
The crime of Macbeth was no ordinary
one, ard the murderer is no ordinary
criminal, but a high born man. Lord,
the bravest in Scotland. Here is where
the stcry touches humanity, "As Mac
beth fell, so any of us may fall" That
vaulting ambition, Unsuitable thirst for
pc and dominion were the passions in
which the first germs of crime found
root. The passions, fostered instead of
restrained constitute the first step in
the direction of crime. The passion is
accompanied by desire, strong in pro
porto to the strength of the passion.
AS the passion and desire grow strong
err. the power to control grows weaker,
and then comes the motive for action.
Swiftly comes the opportunity The
mans passions and desires are now
stronger than himself, and he has not the
power to resist the temptation which the
opportunity offers.
'Thc only thing that can save man
in an hour like this is the moral cour.
age that is born of hate of wrong because
it is wrong and love of right because it
is right, and this Macbeth did not pos
sess."
The world always has been, always VIII
be, filled with Macbeths. Lady Mac
beth was in the Garden of Eden, and has
been there ever since.
AS Macbeth fell, so the best of men
and women may fall. because it was
through things good in themselves when
properly used that this man fell. What
would the world have been without am
bition? And yet it is this, in itself a
virtue, that becomes the means, when
unIestrained, of Macbeth's fatal fall.
