rude and strong men of the world

OF regeneration.
Hamlet had great responsibilities
laid upon him, but he failed because
his vital defect was that he did not
believe in himself. Besides he didn't
believe in anyone else. He did not
know whether he believed in the soul
and Its Immortality or not. Between
the acting of a thing and its first
motion he oscillated like q pendulum.
All the interim was a phantasm, end
ing in hideous dream. His nature
suffered instruction but came to
nothing substantial. To be not like
dumb, driven cattle, but a hero In
the strife" was his ideal, but his weak
ness suffered him to be carried along
like "the beasts who sleep and feed. :"
Great men have believed profoundly.
Hamlet persuaded himself, and had
persuaded thousands since, that
things are right or wrong only as we
think them so. This is the gross
materialism of our age. permeatlng
church and state. coloring all social
life, dominating the policies and plat
forms OF all political parties and en-
feebling the cultivated classes. Such
materialism never accomplished one
good thing for humanity.

All the penal horrors or the world to-
day. all the prison abuses, fully attest
the profound truth uttered by Horatio.
that custom engenders In the public
mind property Of easiness In the
dealings with the unfortunate.
Horatio Is Grave.
Horatio at the grave is sad and to
all the glib talk of Hamlet he replies
In sentences of two or three words,
like perhaps. my lord" 1t may be,
my lord. Hamlet uses 122 words on
the skull of Yordick. Horatio replies
In four words. This gives sense Of
profound melancholy to Hamlet's
noble friend You will lose, my
lord, . says Horatio upon Hamlet's
proffer to fight Laertes. Hamlet
thinks not, and yet, he says, There
is something i'll at my heart. But no
matter. It is but foolery. It Is only
misgiving such as troubles wo-
man" Horatio's warning touches
upon profound question debated
from Socrates to Emerson: tsIf your
mind dislikes althing, obey It." Such
a treatment of premonitions was ad-
hered to by Lincoln. Every one has
had moments when the heart, or soul,
or subconscious mind, has seemed to
pull against some contemplated act.

Hamlet Lacks Power.
Hamlet in the modern world is the
man who has wealth. position, talent,
learning, and lacks the power to APP
ply these gifts. Being incapable Of
doing the things he would and should
do his life is failure. Our faculties
are for use, the gift of life and what
men call good fortune are for use,
and our higher nature commands that
We use them to high purposes. THAT
we would do we should do when we
would" said the king to Hamlet.
Men may have gathered great
thoughts from books and attained emf
nence as scholars, but if they lose
courage to apply them to the social
conditions here and now they are as
useless as that scholarship was in
tie against human slavery. Scholars
were using the immortal thoughts of
the martyrs of the past to earn for

good job in shuffling off. It might
have been some satisfaction to the
would-be suicide to know that II he
didn't finish himself the hangman
would But sometimes he survived
his own act and then tried to con-
vince the criminal court that he was
only fooling and wanted to live.
Suicide Plays Part.
Suicide occupies a prominent place
in the moral history Of antiquity. 1t
was considered heroic to fall on ones
sword or drink the hemlock and thus
cheat life's purposes. The sane man
today thinks it's nobler to suffer the
sings and arrows of outrageous for
tune, the whips and scorns of time,
the oppressor's wrong, the proud
mans contumely, the pangs of de-
spised love, the laws delay, the inso-
lence of office and the spurns that
patient merit of the unworthy takes.

ting suicide themselves. The debat-
able ground OF TO be or not TO be-
occurs only to the superdeveIoped,
the highly organized, like Hamlet.

centuries of this scholastic rubbish

Shakespeare ridicules in the talk of
the grave-diggers. The parrot schools
of today need the same treatment

It is the fifth act of the play OF
"Hamlet" that concerns Us here. The
grave-diggers in the churchyard are
debating about the fashion of the old
metaphysical schools. They doubt
the legality and propriety of giving
Ophelia Christian burial because the
report is that she "willfully sought
her own salvation or committed
suicide. The grave-diggers had in
