To THE EDITOR OF THE SuS-.Sir' In 1HE Srs
a day or two ago you wrote: I'VE may expect b.

for Instance. 1t is fully as good as the FtcnCi
version. Owing TO slmilarities of general sttuci
ure and rhythm. the Esperanto versions Of ID.
"Illad" and OF the "Hneid' are much better, bot
In spirit and In form, than any English version ya
produced.
Really, why should not Esperanto be avalab,
for literary purposes. and especially for TRANSLATED
OF European poetryt The vocabulary OF the ln,
guage has been taken bodily from the Europ.tn
tongues: Its vowel sounds are full and harmonious
its grammar. though extremely simple. permits u
great hexiblllty in the construction Of sentences
Its accentual system and its termination OF word,
by vowels are practically those Of the Spanish ant
italian languages-acknowledged TO be the most
harmonious tongues in Europe.
Allow me TO give you the Esperanto version Of
the hrst four lines OF the Had. The voweis are
pronounced as In German or italians: the aocen, .
always on the pcnultimate syllable:

the sentence is interrogatve In form. Nouns end
in 20" sdjectives in "a" innnitles In a." the pres.
emit indicative in as" the past In "is- and the In
perative in "u."
Bearing these few points in mind. let your reader,
pronounce aloud slowly the extract, and Thea
compare It with the original. I think that the

Why Men Don't Go to Church.

From The London Evening Standard.
Lord Nelson, presiding at the meeting OF the
Free and Open Church Association, said there was
great controversy about why men do not come 10

special mems services, and also TO early commun
lon. His opinion was that II the sexes were divided
men on one sac women on the other, men would
come to church. Men did not like intuIding int
