bishop QuayIe Talks.
Bishop William a. Quayle delivered
an able address on the subject THE
Great Dreamer" He started out by
saying that the culturists had great
fondness for asserting that the home
of sweetness and light was Greece and
not Judea. They have asserted that
the old mythologies were so full of
poetry that when they dried up all
poetry dried up. The bishop disagreed
with this and asserted that Christian
ity had made the most sublime ad-
ditions to literature. He did not deny
the elements in the religions, but If
! ologies would have been dead as dust.
and science would have decapitated
them all. Science will show that there
| is but one God in the world.
Christian Literary Art.
Christianity has thrown wide the
and art possible. The bishop compared
numerous books by Christian writers
with books by heather writer's TO clue
idate his claims.
Bishop on Good Books.
Among the good things said by
Bishop Quayle, In referring 10 the
| great authors of the past he said:
IF l was going 10 pick the best
/ books for a library / would select Rob
ert BrOwnings work; II is a soul
book and is directly the product OF
| Christianity Another great work is
BOswelrs Life OF Jesus. John Bun
yOn's Pilgrims Progress is Chris
tian experience. that is Just what that
( book is and means" Bishop Quayle
said II have no patience with the
man who argues against a hell. OF
/ course, there is a hell, there is one
here in sight OF us, as well as one out
/ of sight: ] have lived in it. 1 have
lived among foul-mouthed men, who
| talk unblushingly of WOmans chas-
! tity. who reek with foulness and sin;
| l tell you, that is hell, so much so
/ that l got out of il as soon as could,
and 1 have been trying to keep out OF
the other hell all the time.
Hard to SIdestep He'll.
/
and ! want TO tell you II Is just as
hard to go to the other place-heaven
but with Gods help 1 am going to
go there"
Bishop Quayle spoke Of the men and
women who pirate about some one sin
gle author and writer as being the
| favorite and ignoring the others; give
me the man who has got gumption
enough and can read them all and find
the beauty in each of them.
LaFmen's Conference.

was conducted by Bishop Quayle, and
at 4 p. m. Sunday school institute con-

Leetured in Evening.
At p. IN. tonight Bishop William
| A. Quayle lectured in the Provo opera
house, his subject being, shakes
| peare' Tragedy OF Greatness" With
| elOquence seldom equaled and heard in
that old structure, Bishop Quayle held
| fair sized audience for more than an
hour. He classed the different charac-
/ teFs portrayed by Shakespeare: Julius
| Caesar as a study of immortal great
| ness; Cassius as enViOus in greatness,
heart greatness and Mark Antony
was the ideal soldier greatness.
! The speaker said Shakespeare did
not tell us what he thought of these
men or any Of the men he wrote about,
/ but left the reader 10 imagine what
! they were. The feature of the lee
/ ture was the beautiful language used
and the dramatic effect portrayed and
the masterful manner In which he
/ handled his subject.
