Dr. Guy Carlton Lee, Literary Editor of the Baltimore _Sun_,
    and formerly of the faculties of Johns Hopkins and Columbia
    Universities, is the latest acquisition of the platform among
    the strong literary men of to-day. He is the most distinguished
    of our younger school of historians, and as an orator he
    belongs to the vigorous, dramatic type so ably represented by
    Wendling and Gunsaulus, who have long been familiar figures
    on the American platform. Dr. Lee’s first lecture tour will
    include the South the coming season, under the direction of The
    Rice Bureau of Nashville.

                              The Mysteries

                           By James Hunt Cook

The early sunlight filtered through the filmy draperies to where a
wondering baby stretched his dimpled hands to catch the rays that lit his
face and flesh like dawn lights up a rose. His startled gaze caught and
held the dawn of day in rapturous looks that spoke the dawn of Self, for
with the morning gleam out came the greater wonder. It was the mystery of
Life.

Across a cradle where, sunk in satin pillows, lay a still, pale form as
droops a rose from some fierce heat, the evening shadows aslant, and
spoke of peace. The twilight calm enclosed the world in silence deep as
Truth, and on the little face the wondering look had given place to one
of sweet repose. It was the mystery Death.

At head and foot the tapers burned, a golden light that clove the night
as Hope the encircling gloom. Across the cot where lay the fair, frail
form, his hand reached out to hers and met and clasped in tender burning
touch. Into the eyes of each there came the look that is the light of
life; that spoke of self to each, yet told they two were one. It was the
mystery to which the mysteries, Life and Death, bow down—the mystery of
Love.


                  Thomas Jefferson and the Average Man.

  [Extract from lecture of Dana C. Johnson on “Thomas Jefferson.”]

The epitaph on the monument of Thomas Jefferson, written by himself,
reads thus:

                             HERE WAS BURIED
                            THOMAS JEFFERSON
                                AUTHOR OF
                The Declaration of American Independence,
                of the Statute of Virginia for Religious
                          Freedom and Father of
                            the University of
                                Virginia.
