"AIs Right I"
BY JOHN d. BARRY.


The other day heard man quote line OF
Brownng's, from Pippa Passes: "Alrs right
with the world"
Often have heard that line quoted by thought
less optimists. They to believe it gives their
optimism kind of intellectual Endorsement They
pay attention to the line that goes before and
explains just what Browning meant. Here are
the two lines:
Gods in His heaven
"Alps right with the world"
Browning meant, of course, that because God
was in his heaven all right with the world,
that is, the world was right because it had the
guardianship of God.
Here Browning simply expressing the
mood that often feel. It's one of the pleasant
illusions by which, in joyous moments, we identify
ourselves with the universe
II sick everything is out of joint. If we
arc well and happy, "alrs right with the world"
Often a sunny day, ! walk along the
street like my optimistic friend, | feel that "als
right with the world"
Apparently all is right. l look about and !
suffering. On the contrary, | human
beings we'll dressed, active, cheerful looking. What
is natural than to say "Alls right with the
world?"
And what is more superficial?

sponse.
BX DIR. l.. L. EDM ARDS.

Il once heard the Rev. DR.. Bellows,

speak of n personal experience he had
when listening to the Oratory OF Rufus
Choate. and. after Choate finished his
address. to Daniel Webster said the
late Noah Davis to me. Judge Davis
was a warm personal friend of DIR. Bel
lows and sometimes spoke OF the clergy
man as in many respects the most con-
summatC master of pulpit OTatOry ne had
ever heard, not even excepting Henry
! Ward RcechCr.
"Dr. Bellows told me that it was his
good fortune 70 he in Boston at II time
when a great demonstration in honor of
Daniel Webster was being made. This
WAS shortly after Webster delivered his
Tow historic speech in the Senate cham
her at Washington known as 'Wehster's
Reply to Hayne.' This speech led to a
description Of Webster commonly adopt
cd at that time as the Defender of the
Constitution
Boston was very proud Of Webster
and also proud of Rufus ChOate. Citi-
zcns Of Boston subscribed TO fund with
which to purchase beautiful vase
which was to he presented to Webster
as II visible evidence of the city's admi-
ration of him.
'Rufus Choatc was selected to make
the presentation address. DR.. Bellows
told me that never did Choate So surpass
himself as a master of nowery exquisite
OratOry. i'm which IMAGINATION waa
mingled with almost poetic charm.
Everybody listened to ChOate entranced.
OF course. all Boston knew that Web
S'"r'S characteristic oratory differed rad
ally from that which distinguished
FtufuS Choate. DIR. Bellows himself Won
dered whether Webster would match in
eloquence this mastery achievement of
Rufus Choate. He did not have long to
wonder. for after he had heard Webster
he was convinced. as every one around
him seemed to be. that his reply to
Choate was true eloquence, yet it con-
sisted OF only three words. The god
like Daniel, facing Choate for a moment
or two. was silent. and then with utmost
simplicity. combined with beautiful dig
nifty. he said, I thank you and then sat
down. DR.. Bellows told me that il Web
ster had spoken for an hour he could
not have surpassed the effect which
those three words and his manner of
speaking them had upon that great COM

Now here's a rhyme, little rhyme,
For use in our Vacation time:
I'm going to take a rest from Sneers;
I'm going to take a rest from jeers;
I'm going to knock off thinking blue,
And rest my tongue from gossip, too;
I'm going TO leave off for bit
All exercise OF acrid wit,
And for a few days call halt
To discomfort, and finding fault:
And from all kicking hold my feet.
