FoRcEFul- EXPRESSIONS.
Tho Power of Illustration In the
Turn of Phrnsc.

James Russell Lowell said, There's
a deal o solid kicking in the meekcst
looking mule" If the statement had
been, There's good deal Of obstinacy
covered by apparent amiabillty," the re-
mark might have passed without mo-
ment's notice, but attached to such
figure as the poet used it will be diff
cult for the mind ever to get rid of it.
MazZini says. Labor is the divine
law of our existence" This is little
more than commonplace, but when he
added, "Rcpose is desertion and sui
eide" the commonplace was trans1ig-
ured into a memorable illustration.
A French writer said, "Thc really cf-
fcient laborcr will he found not to
crowd his day with work" That seems
to be forgettable. When he adds, "IIe
will saunter to his task surrounded by
wide halo OF ease and leisure" the
tory illustration.
President Garfield once said, "Nine
times out of ten the best thing that can
happen to Il youag man is to be tossed
overheard AMI compelled to sink or
swim fer himself" The tossing over
board was to Illustration. The saga
cious president gave 1T significance and
emphasis by personal reference, "In all
my acquaintance I never knew man
to be drowned who was worth the saw
ing"
When Lavater said, Habit is alto
gethcr too arbitrary master for me to-
submit to-" it was the word "mastcr'
that constituted tho memorable illus
tration.
Carlyle, great master of metaphor,
said truly: NO man lives without JOS
tling and being jostled. In all ways he
has to elbow himself through the
world, giving and receiving offcnsc."
The doctrine of this sentence might
easily have become mere platitu,.e,
but it is fixed upon the memory by jos
tling and being iostled and the elbow
ing Of oneself through the world This
illustration is the very making of tho
argument Joseph Parker, d. D., in
Homilctic Review.
