Gerard, Gerald, Garrett, Gertrude ant
Geraldine are spear names and com,
from the longago times when a man
and woman, too, must fight for life
and safety. The bearers of the eari
est forms of these names were, as their
| names suggest, true Spcar"men and
spear'maidens. Gernot was bold Teu
tonic warrior and Gerdurd was one OF
the fierce Valkyrie maidens of Teutonic
mythology, But the famous men and
women of the names in historic times
have with few exceptions won their
way TO fame along roads of peace
There have been a few exceptions like
Gerard Lake. the popular English COM
mander, who took Delhi. in India, to
keep up the tradition of the first war
like Ghernot and pugnacious Gerdrud.
But against these few are arrayed an
and churchmen, poets, chroniclers, schol
ars, reformers, singers. actresses, writ
ers, philanthropists and statesmen.
In 1866 at Rotterdam in the Neither
lands was born perhaps the greatest of
all the spear-men of peace. He was
called Desiderlus Erasmus, two names
supposed to be the Latin and the Greek
equivalents for Gerhard, his father IS
name.
Delicate throughout his life of sew
enty years, and forced to make many
concessions to his frail body, poor, and
sometimes prosecuted by his literary
enemies, Erasmus, as he is generally
known, rose TO be one of the foremost
scholars of his age. So bent was he
On study that he used to buy 'sGreek
books first and clothes afterward' In
search of learning he travelled Europe
from end to end, and became acquaint-
ed with the most prominent men of
England, Germany, France, Italy and
Holland.
In his youth Erasmus was for a short
time tutor to young noblemen-among
them the son of James ". of Scotland
and for time he held chair at Cam
bridge. AS he refused to accept pay
rom poor students he did not make his |
very paying business,
