MEMORY OF EMERSON
HONORED AT BANQUET

New York May pa dinner in COM
memoration of the one hundredth an
niversary of the birth of Ralph Waldo
Emerson was given by the Society of
American Authors at the Waldorf-As-
toria tonight.

guests table We're Edwin Markham,
Henry Watterson, Chancellor Mac
Cracker of the University of New York,
President J.. G.. Schurman Of Cornell,
DR.. William NJ. Leipzeiger, and Dr.
William 7. Harris, United States COM
missioner of education
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, who was ex-
pected to be present, sent a letter, and
Edwin Arnold a cablegram. A poem
of commemoration was read by Edwin
Markham
Chancellor MacCracken in responding
to the toast, The Fame of Emerson"
said in part:
THE face of Emerson is the face
of pioneer. 1t reminds me of the
fame of John Hancock, also a citizen
OF Massachusetts. Hancock's is the
fame of man who was the first to
sign with his big handwriting the
Declaration of our independence in
politics. The fame of Emerson, in like
manner is the fame of man who was
the first to publish in his books of sixty
years ago the Declaration of our indie
pendence in letters. Indeed, it is three
score and six years since in his address
on the American scholar he said Our
day of dependence our long apprentice

lished poem of Emerson, written when
he was only %, begins with these two
lines:

erson But when we seek an eXplana-

a literary father of America.
1T is true that his writings are not
peculiarly related to his generation.
which was the generation of Andrew
Jackson and James Buchanan. Never
theless, if their publication had been
delayed forty years the impression
made by them upon America would
have been far less significant.
THE Office that Emerson took up
was an office which his generation de-
handed 1t was the office of poet
preacher. He started in life as a prose
preacher. The first article in his vol
ume of miscellanies is a sermon on
the Lords supper, when he was %
years of age. He was the parson of
church in Boston for several years
before he was so. But he was not cut
out for prose preacher, and he was

after nearly a quarter of a century of
growth and general use the excellent

due not only to the excellence of the
combination of the laxative and carmin-

The subject for tonight and Wednes

How Two Business Men, One a Jew
and the Other Gentle, settled the
Question of their Eternal Destiny"
At the meeting last night Evangelist
Martin gave the Bible reading to the
Jews to prove by them that the Bible
is Gods word. In beginning he said:
mo intelligent skeptic denies that the
fine books of Moses were in the hands
of the Jews 500 B. c. AS a matter of
fact, they were in the hands of the
Jews very near 1900 b. C. But take
the date that no intelligent person
will question 500 B. c. Speaking of
the Jewish race Moses in Dent. 2S:37
says, And thou shalt become an as
constituent, a proverb and a by-word
among all nations whittier the Lord
shall lead thee.
In verses 1852 Moses foreshadows
their overthrow by the Romans, be-
fore the Roman Empire was in ex-
istence. In verses 65-67 notice how
their persecution all down the ages
was foretold, And among these Ia
tions shalt thou find no ease, neither
shall the sole of thy foot have rest;
but the Lord shall give thee there a
trembling heart and failing of eyes and
sorrow of mind; and thy life shall hang
in doubt before thee; and thou shalt
fear day and night. and shalt have
none assurance of thy life; in the morn
ing thou shall say: Would God it were
cVen,' and of even then, shalt say,
Would God it were morning." for the
fear of thine heart wherewith thou
shalt fear, and for the sight of thine
eyes which thou shalt see"
Take the terrible heart-rending per-
secutiOn of the innocent, inoffenslve
Jews all through the dark ages, even
now in Russia, and notice how it is all
foretold in the prophecy.
But notice the wonderful closing
verse 6S. And the Lord shall bring
thee into Egypt again with ships, by
the way whereof | spoke unto thee.

fortunate enough to discover this. The
country was full of prose preachers.
he fame of Emerson arises from
his being preacher, but not a prose
preacher. He freed himself from the
trammels of preaching in prose; he
became a poet preacher. Indeed, | may
say he became the poet preacher of his
age, taking as a definition of preach
ing his own words when he says,
preaching is the expression of the
moral sentiment in application to the
duties of life" This definition of Emer-
sons serves admirably as a descrip-
| ton in chief part of the sum and sub
stance of his work.
Nearly forty years ago a remark
was made to me by the foremost the
ologian of Germany which applies
here. l was telling. this theologian, DR..
Dorner of Berlin, how a few days be-
fore l had visited DR.. Tholuck of
Halle, who had talked to me at length
OF the preacher Krummacher and how
inconsistent he was showing himself.
Dr. Dorner at once exclaimed, THAT
does not signify Krummacher is lust
a preacher, he is not a doctor of the
ology. In like manner | say in replv
to the charge of inconsistency against
Emerson, Emerson was a poet preach
er, He was not an exact philosopher
or a doctor of theology Take his
teaching ABOUT Goa. How devoid of
exact doctrine. Sometimes he seems so
imbued with the New England Demo-
cracy as to refuse any place in the
! universe to a personal God. He saws in
/ one place Christianity has dweIt with
noXious exaggeration about the per
son of Jesus, but the soul knows no
PERSONS He is hardly ready to admit
COD who is a parsonage. He prefers
a composite town meeting sort of a
God, of which everybody is an equal
constituent part. At one time he calls
God great and divine and public
soul. He says to every man
Draw if thou must the mystic line
Severing rightly his from thine"
Hence it is not strange that a re-
cent number of the Atlantic MONTHLY
declares Religious persons are never
sure whether Emerson is theist or
pantheist."
Il would say, like DR.. Dorner of
Krummacher, Emerson is lust a
preacher He is not a doctor OF theol-
ogy.
There are a score of poetic vet
practical sermons in his books, which
those who are called society in Amer
lea would do we'll to learn by heart.

which is after all his chief title to
fame. Instead of argument, l offer
in closing, a single illustration of
Emerson as teacher of everyday
morality.
