Old, Perish in Home
Brookville, Dec. 19.—Neighbors
yesterday found the bodies of Mrs.
Mary Stewart, aged 86, and her broth
er, George Wiley, 84 years old, in the
house, which they occupied here. Death
had evidently been caused by tlie ex
treme cold o>f last night.
Both were in good health and spirits
Thursday. Desipite their aigc ithey were
active in church circles. l>ate Friday
niight t'hey were not seen about the
house and when the blinds were still
drawn shortly before noon yesterday,
neighbors decided to investigate. The
door was forced open and the aged
brother and sister were found in ad
joining rooms, their (bodies stiffened
from the cold.
Investigation developed the fact
that the fire in the furnace had been
out many hours. A plhysieian said that
the death of the aged couple had been
due to the freezing teuupcTature.

THE SUBLINE ORATOR.
Text, "Never man spake like this man."
—John vil. 46.
Jesus was a popular preacher.
Crowds flocked to hear him. Tlia
synagogue was full when be spoke.
Town and village flocked to the fields
when he spoke there. The beach was
crowded when he spoke from the prow
of Simon Peter's fishing boat. The
farmer left Ills plow, the flslwrman his
bont, the woman her kneading trough,
the tax gatherer his booth. Rich men
like Nlcodemus and Joseph of Arlma
thea listened secretly, the common
people heard him gladly. The high
priest* came to the conclusion that
they must silence him or they them
selves would soon be overthrown. The
very sanhedrln Itself would soon
go down before this new leader who
had such eloquence of word and spirit,
such fascination and charm of soul,
that the multitude were carried away
by lus addresses. So they sent their*
police to arrest him. The officers
waited too long before acting. If they
bad gone up to him while he was
silent, but they were curious to hear
him speak. In a short while his ar
rest at their hands was no longer s
part of their day's work. He had ar
rested them! They came back to their
superior officers empty handed. "Why
have ye not brought, him?" they In
quired. "Never man spake like this
man." was the answer. Then the
Pharisees sneered in their faces and
said, "Are ye also deceived?"
The Art of Arts.
Not all great men are speakers.
Washington never made a speech. In
the zenith of his fame he once tried It.
failed and gave it up, confnsed and
abashed. Jefferson never made a
speech. Grunt was "the silent man of
Galena." Napoleon, whose abilities
as an executive were unparalleled,
couldu't talk before an audience. Men
are "born orators?" Not any more
than "born doctors" or "born lawyers."
There are of course an inherent capa
bility and capacity with some, but be
yond all that It is an accomplishment,
an art, a science. It Is the one master
ful art tbut can be acquired. The pub
lic speaker dominates those who hear
him, convinces their reason, controls
their judgment, compels their action.
He Is their master. Patrick Henry
and Nathan Hale each was immortal
ized by a single sentence. A great par
liamentary reputation was bnilt on a
single speech by a man who had wit
enough to keep silence afterward. Part
of a great evangelist's attraction is
that folks like to see and bear a real
live man In action, talking in the ver
nacular of the common people. The
bearing and the manner are often
more eloquent and more truthful than
the tongue. The speaking eyes, the
telltale cheeks—the living man.
The Great Preaoher.
Three elements combine to make
eloquence- a great occasion, a great
theme, a great personality. Lincoln
at Gettysburg, Webster at Bunker Hill,
Beecher at Manchester, Chatham in
parliament. When John Randolph was
about to die be said to his fellow se»-
ators. "Lift me up." They lifted him.
"1 want to hear that voice!" "Whose?"
"Henry Clay's." Then he was willing
t« die. The occasion brings eloquence.
Christ's occasion was the need of hu
manity; his theme, the kingdom of
God—at baud. He spoke of the great
questions that belong to all time and
ages. He talked of God and man. He
took God out of the clouds and pitched
his tents close to the tents of men.
He spoke about humanity. He put
a new meaniug in the word "neigh
bor." His personality was unique. He
was filled with the spirit he sought t»
Impart to others. The secret of pul
pit power and eloquence is not in the
teaching of the schools, though that is
useful. To teach theology is not to
preach religion. Wesley and White
field were great preachers—one Armin
ian, the other Massillon
and Melanchthon—one was Roman
Catholic, the other Protestant. Au
thority, sympathy, love of nature, pro
found spiritual experience, love of hu
manity, God in the soul. These are
the fundamentals of oratory.
Christ the Conversationalist.
The Master was not a Demosthenes
with "action" for his three rules of
oratory. He did not depend for his
power on dramatic effects. He taught
often sitting down. He didn't captivate
his audience by oratorical splendor.
His power wasn't primarily intellec
tual, not the dialogues of Plato or the
philosophy of Hegel or Kant. Most
of his teaching was conversational.
Colloquial talks with men rather than
set speeches. Only about five of his
discourses can properly be called ser
nions. Yet he continually dealt with
the greatest problems of human life.
What is the object of life; the secret
of happiness, of wholeness, holiness of
character; the duty of man: the issue
of life; the outcome of the drama of
human history? His parables are in
terpretation of great spiritual truths.
His conversations with Nicoilemus and
the woman of Samaria nre rich in food
value. His table talks at the dinner
feasts are uplifting. Would that we
could take our profitless exchange of
empty phrases in conversation and
vitalize them. Not all can be orators;,
all can reach the human heart through
the common medium of everyday
speech.
