LITERARY ADDRESS.
Rev. w. l.. Seabrook Delivers Lee
ture on "A Singer Who Lived
His Minstrelsy."

ed lecture at twelve yesterday, in
the new college auditorium, before
the students, taking as his subject "A
Singer Who Lived His Minstrelsy."
In strong and beautiful language he
spoke of the beloved poet of the
southland and urged the poets claim
to immortality He spoke of the in
fuence Lanier had upon the lives of
all who read his poetry and quoted
many passages from the peerless
singer of the south.
M. Seabrook began his lecture by
saying the he would speak of poet,
whom he loved, whose life and words
touch deeper places in his soul life than
have been found by any other. "If
you know him you understand why
I love him, and will be glad to hear 1.a
speak of him; if you do not know
him you will bless me for urging you
to study his life and work. I speak
of him, who sang:
If life were caught by clarionet,
And a wild heart throbbing in the
reed
Should thrill it's joy and trill it's fret
And utter its heart in every deed.
Then would that breathing clarionet
Type what the poet fain would be
For none O. the singers ever yet
Has wholly lived his minstrelsy."
Sydney Lanier the loved poet of
our southland, of whom it can be truly
said
"His song was only living aloud
His work a singing with his hand"
My theme is "A Singer, Who Lived
His Minstrelsy'
Mr.. Seabrook then spoke of the
life of the poet as that life interprets
his work and Of his work as it in
terprets his life.
Among other things he said: mo
poet ever gave to the world sweeter
gospel. If Mazzini preached the
gospel of social rights, and Carlyle
the gospel of honest work; and Mat
thew Arnold the gospel of culture;
and Emerson the gospel Of optimism;
and the message Of Ruskin repeated
in thousand forms, is one message,
goodness is more than good and char
acter outweighs intellect, the one
chiefest gospel of Sydney Lanier, the
gospel of his life and of his song is
the gospel of Love.
He sang of love and life when
life's all love, 'tis life, aught else it's
nought."
His heart was surcharged with love
for the beautiful, and it is no wonder
that he lived beautiful life, for
everywhere he saw not alone the
''holiness of beauty" but Herewith
there came to him visions of the
"beauty of holiness"
For everything that grows he had
personal attachment. The little
green leaves whispered to him, and
caressed his cheek like the touch of
woman's hand
But he was no dreamer, loving
mystically inanimate nature and shut
ting his heart to his fellowman. Man
was his brother and he loved him. He
sang not alone because the song was
in his heart and he could not help but
sing, for always with him is the truth
expressed in the greatest line he ever
wrote:
"Music is love in search of word"
A word to cheer and uplift, and he
had the sweet consciousness that he
had found that word, for to his wife
he wrote "Let my name perish-the
poetry is good poetry, and the music
is good music, and beauty dieth not,
and the heart that needs it will find
it."
The sadness of his heart as he wit
messed the dread havoc on the bodies
and souls OF men, wrought by the

LINE NEEDS neart, us tlTed OF mead,
concluding with the clarionet, plead
ing in minor strain for love and end
ing with these memorable lines:
"\Noe him that cunning trades in
hearts contrives:
Base love good women to base loving
drives
II men loved larger. larger were our
lives;
And wooed they nobler, won they
nobler wives"
His own love and reverence for
true womanhood was large. Of no
man are Tennyson's words more true;
Faith in womanhood
Beat with his blood. and trust in all
things high
Came easy 20 him."
When thrilling through all the ....es
of his poems and letters throbs that
love for his wife which can fill the
heart of that man alone who reveres
womanhood, it cannot be wondered
at that in all his work, there is not
one line written. which so far as its
moral tone is concerned. he or any
other pure soul could wish to blot.
All through his verse he sings OF
her. There are songs of absence,
songs of acknowledgement, songs of
pleading and songs of praise, and the
greatest of them all is the little poem
written soon after he went to live at
Baltimore, in which he sings of "My
Springs":
20 Love, my Wife, thine eyes are
they,
My springs, from out whose shining
grey
Issue the sweet celestial streams.
That feed my lif's bright lake of
Dreams"
Yes his is the gospel of love, of love
Of man for his fellowman; of the pur-
est husband love, of the sweetest wife
love-. But this is not all-his is the
gospel of love of God and Christ, pur-
flying, ennobling all earth loves, for
he asks
Did e'er lark with skyward point
ing beak
Stab by mischance a level-hying
dove?"
He answers his own questioning:
"Wife love Ays level, her dear mate
to seek;
God love darts , raight into the skies
above
Crossing, the windage of each others
wings
But speeds them on their Journey
ings."
Lanier is not what might be called
a religious poet, yet his alteration for,
dependence upon and hope in God
the Father and God the Son are every
where traceable The faith of his
boyhood and his earnestness are evil
denced in these words found in a diary
kept during his college days: "Liber-
ty, patriotism and civilization are on
thei. knees before the m@ of the
south and with clasped hands and
straining eyes are begging them to
become Christians" and he held that
faith and earnestness steadfast to
DEATH
One cannot construct theological
system from his verse. but in many
d line he sings Of Him, who is always
my Master" He sings of the Christ
and His perfect life, the beauty of
which has never been mirrored in
more beautiful language than in 'The
Crystal;' and never has the sacred
story OF Gethsemane and the glory
and sweetness Of Calvary and the
cross been more simply, more ten
derly told than in the sweet ballad
"Of Trees and the Master"

Man Claims He Has Walked
Around World

Pushing a top-heavy, two-wheeled
conspicuous sign, walking Around
the World and dressed in khaki
trousers, heavy boots, a thin brown
shirt and wearing a hat covered with
pins and buttons, William J. Geer, the
st. Paul Kid, arrived in st. Paul yes
terday and ended a journey which he
says included fourteen states and thir-
ty-seven foreign countries.
The arrival of Geer is claimed to
have settled a bet between William
Sands and Fred Witt, two saloonkeep-
ers, as to whether Geer would be able
to walk around the world in less than
three years. Sands wagered that Geer
would not be able to complete his
journey before Feb. 8, 1905, while Witt
commended that the feat could be ac-
complished. The winner of the bet
was to become the owner of the others
saloon and Geer was to receive $4,000
for his trouble. Witt now claims that
he has won Sands saloon. AS Sands

whether he will enter a protest.
