truth. Not only the reading Of the
bitAe, that great work of English lit
erature, but of nearly all serious lit

True literature is high thing.
It is not only to be read but to be

to be made part of ourselves What
this generation substitutes fer litera-

The puritans perused the bible sed-

their moral dignity, but their mental
distinction. Rate them as narrow as
you please, 1t remains that the purit-
ans spoke nobly and lived exaltedly.
The Elizabethans did not feed upon
husks They demanded from their
dramatists great language and great
thoughts. And their minds were sub
