Reflections About Conversation.
Rev. P. r. Law in Lumberton Robesonian

Rev. P R. Law in Lumberton Robesonian
Some one has written: ''And the
woman who can whet curiosity, give
vague. shadowy hints of her real self,
can allure, repel, caiole, command,
grow scOrnful and tender in one
breath, battle bravely and yield
gracefully, is the woman of all women
who will fascinate men," Perhaps so.
The glimpse of individuality, a sug-
gestiOn of the real woman stirs the
man and sets him to wondering and
longing to explore the hidden treas
ures of a personality. But we are re-
flecting about conversation. 1t is
said that hippant minds are readiest
OF speech because their mental supply
is so limited The we'll furnished with
ideas are slower because uncertain
which of many to advance. The
coterie at tea that abounds in talent
and intellect is often commonplace
in it's conversation. But no apology
is called for, since everybody takes
to commonplace and thrives it.
Commonplace is almost pre-eminent.
The commonplace preacher, writer.
and talker is ever heard. read and
followed and beloved. The bloom
of springtime and sunshine are COM
mon. There is a premium for deal
ing in trite generalities, and why not
settle upon them and be happy?
Really how little have we to boast
about in the way of conversation in
almost any gathering! Locke, when
in company with certain English
lords, who were renowned for their
wit, amused himself by taking down
the conversation and caused them to
roar with laughter as he read aloud
the result and asked them to say
what they could make of it. The
truth is, the upper classes, the un-
schoOled and unequipped, racy town
set in all the world have a certain
jargOn and glitter of talk which, if
burned in the embers of literary or
philosophical Or common sense
thought, would leave very small resi-
dunn of gold in the crucible. When
we reflect upon how much of CONVEX
sation is mere purposeless impulse or

their real final sentiments, it seems,
some one has said, that no one should
be held altogether accountable for
what he has said Talk is killed by
the drawing of the book by the mat

must be played with, tossed about
and their absurdity of worth ex-
