snays q Foreigner Strikes In Trying TO
Master English.


In spite Of certain nndeniable dis
advantages the English lanpsyge
steadily makes Roadway. There are
few tongues so hard TO master. One
foreigner who has had his troubles. but
has won his way to n perfect command
OF the language. has presented in the
Bookmnn some of the humors and
some OF the difficulties which belong
TO this richest ~ living languages.
As boy beard fantastic Turkish
legend which 10 my mind aptly Illus
trates the actual facts concerning the
origin and formation OF modern Eng
lish
After creating the first parents OF
each OF the races. the story runs. Allah
took large piece OF meat and. cut.
ting II into slices. distributed them
among ali the people to serve them ms
tongues. For some reason the English
man was absent when the others re-
ceived their share. At last he came
into the presence OF his Maker and
In mute humility begged him TO put a
tongue into his mouth. But nothing
was left of the meat SO Allah was
obliged to cut little piece from the
tongues of al the others. and. joining
these pieces. he fashioned n tongue for
the Englishman.
The photography of the English Ian
guage does not by any means contain
all of n foreigners troubles One of
the most perplexing characteristics of
the English tongue Is the fact that. as
n rule. the same word has different
meanings. My dictionary gives TO the
verbs see. lead. hold and draw four
teen. eighteen, nineteen and thirty-two
meanings respectively. Now. for a for
elcner to be able to distinguish all
these various meanings Is tremen-
dous task. The words which have
only one or two meanings are COM
paratively few. Is it surprising that

which beckons to them with 50 many
high hopes Let them rejoice in their
strength while the evil days come not
and the years draw nigh. when they shall
say. we have no pleas re IN them"
To tn . Epicurean atheist no thought OF

can come. They viii only say to their
pleasure sodden souls, Let us eat. drink

Having denied immortality and emptfed
the present life of all that makes ii sa-
icred and significant, they utter the care
less creed Of the brutes and live up to
their creed. Holding such creed they
can draw no instruction from the past
nor inspiration from the future. Time
derives all its significance from eternity,
and meaningless are all our years if life
ends in nothingness. Words are wasted
on minds which can think so meanly OF
themselves.
But to faithful souls. wearied and

led and manly hope. Tnere is past
which is gone forever. cut there is a
future which is still our own.
Family circles have been broken dur
ing the year gone; but some remain whom
we can bless with the services OF love.
and by whom we may be blessed Shall
we not hold all the more tenderly those
who are left with US because they too
are bereaved and need as never before
our sympathy? Comforting them we too
shall be comforted.
Bonds OF friendship have been severed.
but all our friends are not departed About
us are many faithful hearts upon whom
we can lean trustfulIy and by whom we
will be trusted. Best or all. our God is
with us. He lives and shall live. This
was the subli- faith in which Israers
