Do not talk to me about there being
no intellectual giants in the banquet
hall of the Divine Bridegroom. Why,
! there yOu can see the intellectual lead
ers everywhere around YOU. Agassiz
once said that the greatest feast he
ever attended was when he visited the
great German naturalist. Oxen. Lo-
REM Oxen was rich in brain. but poor
in pocket Therefore he placed before !
Agassiz but two diShes-One of pota /
toes boiled and one of potatoes roast
ell. But while the young naturalist
sat by the side of the great scientist
Oxen unfOlded for him his investiga-
hons in natural philosophy. "Never
before" wrote Agassiz, were such DO
tatoes grown on this planet, for the
mind of the man seemed to enter into
what we ate socially together, and
devoured his intellect while munchine
his potatoes. l repeat it-I never ate
such a dinner before or since" As
Agassiz, the. great naturalist. was
feasting because he was sitting at the =
table of Oxen, so many of the great
Intellectual giants are feasting be- y
