Language.

Language is the subtlest instrumei
ever played on by man. Its variations
are illimitable-that is, they are limited
only by the powers of the human mind
and soul. in all possible situations. The
power of words or speech exceeds that
of music, because language Is more
than music and even includes music.
Language, in the hands Of a master, Is
pregnant with every meaning.
A nations language is at once an e1-.
preston and a mold Of its character,
rejecting from century to century the
development Of its civilization and Its
advance in intellectual and moral cul-
ture. in learning and refinement. The
flexible Greek tongue was the product
and the instrument Of the subtle Creek.
intellect. The distinctive qualities OF
the classic speech Of the Roman de-
clare the dignity and the virile energy
which are inseparable from the old Ro-
man.-Portland Oregonian.
