PREACHING AND pRAcTlciNe.
Rhstorieian illustrates Virtue Of Short
Sentences.

Writers who wish to impart to their
productions power and pungency, who
wish to keep the readers attention
upon the tiptoe Of activity. who desire
to escape the imputation of pendantry
and who seek to surcharge their senti-
ments with sparkle and spirit, will do
well to bear In mind constantly that
long. lingering sentences, unduly over
burdened with an abundance OF
phrases, clauses and parenthetical OBJ
servations Of a more or less aggressive
character, are apt to be tiresome to
the reader, especially II the subject
matter be at all profound or ponderous'
to place an undue strain upon his pow
ers of concentration and to leave him
with a confused concept of the ideas
which the writer apparently has been
at great pains to concentrates; while
short, snappy sentences. on the other
hand, with the frequent recurrence OF
subject and predicate, thus recalling
and emphasizing the idea to be ex-
pressed as the development OF the
thought proceeds. like numerous sign
posts upon an untraveled road, these
frequent breaks having the effect OF
taking a new hold upon the readers
attention, oases in the desert Of words,
as 1t were. will be found to be much
more effective, much more conducive
to clarity and far better calculated to
preserve the contact, the wireless con-
nection, so to speak, between the writer
and the reader; provided, however, and
it is always very easy to err through
too strict and literal application of
general rule. that the sentences are
not SO short as to give jerky, choppy
and sketchy effect and to scatter the
readers attention SO often as to send
him wool-gathering completely.-Ellis
o. Jones in Life.
