Stcmpcl df Oskaloosn. la. , gave a lecture on the great mediaeval epic , the Nlebolungonllod. The lecture was u careful analysis of the poem In Its various phases , showing the work of the ( scholar and enthusiast In this line of study. Duelling at first on the origin of myths among primitive peoples , he traced the de velopment of the light or Him myth , common to all the Aryan wees , up through Its vari ous forms to tlio Siegfried myth of Norse and Teutonic mythology. Ho showed the essen tial differences between these two variations of the original , touching Incidentally upon the growth of literature In Germany and the Inlltipm-.o upon It of feudalism and Roman- lam. Ho then gave a clear anil conslao out line of the Lied Itself , making plain to everyone ono the ( strength and beauty of the German Iliad In Its progress from the light aml , glow of the early merry-making to the gloom and ( latkncss of the tragic denouement. His con clusion was decidedly original , the moral being pointed by the contrast between this story of revenge and hate anil the doctrine of love as sot down by Paul In the thirteenth chapter of first Corin thians the hopelessness of paganism versus the hopefulness of Christianity. The address throughout was u masterly one and was especially enjoyed by those members of the club who Imvo spent the winter In the study of early German literature , prepara tory to the reading next year of Goethe's masterpiece. To be In keeping with the lecture , the march from "Tannhauser" was rendered by Mlsa Clara Hnwloy , whoso In terpretation of Wagner's music was exceed ingly enjoyable.
