An Address Recently Delivered by
Charles O. Clemson.
The following is a portion of the memorial
address delivered by Charles o. Clemson, of
the local bar before the Cumberland Aerie

elected many favorable comments from the

Worthy President, Ladies and Gentlemen:
when Leonardo da Yinci was painting his
famous fresco, 1.-The Last supper" on the wall OF
Dominican convent, the friar became impatient at
the tardiness of the work and reproached the
painter who, answering, said: II still lack two
faces one of which. the Saviour, can not hope to
find earth, and have not attained the power of
presenting it TO myself in imagination with all the
perfection ofbeauty and spiritual grace demanded

sible to render graphically the features of man
deliberately betrayed hi. Lord and Master" SINH
larly, he who undertakes to depict in words the
extremes of goodness and badness in human char
acter, like Leonardo, will be unable to complete
his picture for mastery of the art of character
ization will enable him adequately to portray the
radiant image of the divine in at his best or to
graphically render the dark incarnation of evil in
him at his worst.
