The department of literature of the
Woman's club Introduced on Innovation at
the last meeting In having a lecturer from
out of town. 1'rof. ( luldo II. 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.
At the close of the program Mrs. Savage ,
in her usual graceful manner , took leave of
the club , over which she has presided with
BO much dignity during the past year. In
response the club unanimously adopted a
resolution of regret for her going and of
thanks for her Interest and labors In Its
behalf. A vote of thanks was also given
Mr. Stcmpel for his excellent lecture and the
club adjourned.
