Beecher's Oratory,
Rev. Charles Edward Jefferson, IN the
Youths NoponapIop

Rev. Charles Edward Jefferson, IN the
Youths Companion.
At last the great Henry Ward Beecher
paid Us a visit. l obtained a seat directly
in front OF him.. I know my eyes were
open; | am not sure about my mouth.
From boyhood l had heard about the
famous Brooklyn preacher and now at
last l was to be permitted to hear him!
l q always idolized him as the greatest
of orators. and now ! was to hear what
real oratory Is.
He began his lecture in a quiet, ION.
versational tone. that surprised me not
a little; for, II man was an orator, IL
seemed TO me he ought not to waste time
In being something else. But the speaker
was merely a quiet voiced gentleman say
ing things in a calm and sensible way.
] forgave him. however, for / knew that
after he once got down to business he
would show us what he could dc
But he simply went on and on and on.
After a while I forgot to pay attention to
Just how he was going on. ] simply
drank in the words as they flowed from
HE lips, and then all at once he stopped
just why I did not understand. for surely
he had not spoken for more than 10 OF IL
minutes-and / felt confident that he
would, after getting his breath, begin
again. But to my dismay he walked off
the stage n the lecture was actually
ended. l looked at my watch. II said he
had spoken moro than an hour. / could
not understand 1t. I compared my watch
with the watch Of a friend. They both
said the same thing.
A new idea OF eloquence began to dawn
on me. ] had always supposed 1t was the
art OF saying things In such a dramatic
way that everyone would sit enraptured,
exclaiming: "Ah. this Is e~loquence!" I
now began to surmise that the hearer
forgets the clock and merges his soul into
the soul OF the speaker. That Is what
had happened to me.
On going nome I realized that l had
not recognized the greatness Of the
speaker until the moment in which he
ceased. / did not now how high ] was
until he left me, and l was obliged 20
