The World and All
By Charles r. Driscoll
GREATNESS AGAIN

W. +. Cosgrave of Berkeley, Calf, writes:
jonathan is the greatest person recorded in his
tory. As a member Of the royalty. he aspired to be
neither a prince nor a king. He was the favorite of
the Israelites, the most loyal soldier and friend in the
kings army, and the most competent to serve as n
ruler or general.
To-day il requires much advertising to place a per-
son among the great, whatever the persons qualities
may be. But if conduct Of life be the thing worth
while, then Jonathan excelled, according to the five
short verses quoted by David when he eulogized the son
Of Saul.
Jonathan knew the value Of life. He was careful
Of his own and he was mindful Of others. Perhaps
Shakespeare had this young man in mind when he
spoke about being true to thine own self"
II has surprised me to note the absence OF literary
persons from among the candidates for title Of the
worlds greatest, among these letters I have been re-
ceiving from my readers. At the moment / do not re-
call a single nomination Of a purely literary preson.
What about Shakespeare, while his name is fresh
in mind? For myself, | prefer him to any killer IF
men whose name ! can recall at the moment. Of course,
the world apparently needs great man-killers once N
a while, but when the killing is finished and the blood
wiped up. the great fellows work is done. Shakespeare
goes on inspiring and entertaining and uplifting gener-
alton after generation, in many languages, and mis-
work is ever adding.
Great artists in other lines OF creative work. too.
should be given some consideration. shouldn't they
Leonardo da Vinci. for instance.
A great singer, heretofore. has been, like the great
killer, a figure Of one lifetime. He or she sang sweet
ly and inspired multitudes. but death or age ended Il
all. and the next generation could not even imagine
how the voice Of the great one sounded. Now TIA It
sound reproduction has reached such a stage Of devel-
opment that the singers voice and modulations may
be preserved for endless time. we may yet know a great
singer whose efforts may be ranged alongside those o:
generals and writers and builders. IF the talking pic
lures ever ring true, we may even have actors for all
the generations.
Doctors, scientific investigators, nurses, architects
and explorers ought to be represented among the
greatest" names, at least as numerously as generals.
