The Great Stone Face Hawthorne hand ling this artistic piece of literature n a rnost scientific and satisfactoryman and beauti ner setting forth strongly fully the different characters and as serting that if we follow the author closely we will be carried through all the phases of human development lifted from the simple child to ripe old age step by step audeach succeeding step gives us time rest and become acquainted with our surroundings Inthis way we are led up to the climax and then let down quickly to a quieter and calmer phase of thought He said that Hawthorne in rendenng this work probably had in mind from the first one great thought one great character to which everything else was made subordinate thus producing a uniformly symetrical literary -gem He said that often in works of this character the true meaning is not at - J a pro iize of a wawnjr caraito a circus teub once appareut to 3 - i - u w left for with CoH ST NrG HendersonXew Ideal is the best seed potato for this

severely sprained his right wrist the casual reader and often the key note to the whole work as to be found in one line or Qfan7R whirih if cut out would leave a meaningless lot of matter He touched on other works and asserted that Poes iRaven is undoubtedly one of the most artistic pieces of literature ever written emphasizing the fact that in poetry there exists life beauty and inspiration -which in itself has served to makesfamous our summer resorts and lakeside cottages Con tinning he said thttbe leading idea through out the whole piece is the gradual growth of Ernests character and that the arst great stroke made by the author is fche loving sympathy shown between little Ernest and his mother T7p Kfatfid that manv believe that Hawthorne wrote this to eulogize our great and noble Emerson and that Longfellow was the poet who visited Ernest and discovered that which so manv others had failed to see He said that it takes a poet to search nut the truths and -beauties of nature and drive them home to tur hearts in such a way as to fire us with love and sym pathy for everything around us The climax of this story is reached with the meeting of Ernest and the poet After reading the work in its eatirety with intelligent and appropriate com ments at different points the Pro fessor made his bow and retired leav ing the audience with a keener appre ciation of the quality of literary
