concluded We are not metaphysical
enough for the task Many Of our gres
writer's have had their moods, yaryin
from the heroic 10 the pathetic, and bacl
20 the mediocre; as witness Mrs Felici
I Dorothea Hemsns IN the heroic.
The breaking waves dashed high.
/ On a stern ard rocs-bound coast
! or,
And God was On the weftern wave
Two hundred years ago.
Or, that which is familiar to every
/ school boy
The boy stood on the burning deck
! Whence all bat him had fed.
And from the heroic, she decauts e
/ the pathetic;
Leaves have their time 70 fall0
And flowers to wither in the north winds breath
And stars ro set. but all
The seasons hast thee for thine own. o. Death
And this mood. or these moods, have
been one Of the characteristics of many
Of our noted writers. What is II, Not
an idiosyncacy; as It IS q characteristic
Of nearly all Of US. Then logically con
sidered these moods must be part Of
the composition Of man, or one Of his
.ilheTent activities and however much we
NAV speculate upon II, NAV never be sal
isfactorily defined. Pope, Poe, Longfel-
low and all the line Of poets have had
this phenomenon, although Pope has

This subject man is a mystery; and

worlds history; and although Darwin
has labOred Herbert Spencer, Haeckle,
Heluzholt and others, have lectured on
the problem Of life, and the possibilities
and probabilities of man, we are 10
nearer the solution of the problem than
we were al the beginning
And a change Of mood has caused rs

times when every action becomes monot- /

peared leaden, the heat was intense, bus
