it waa aUmou tmpoibi to distinguish

Borne of the feature of his lectur
were aa follows: ' ,.
lh aim of poetry is to Impart pleas
ure through the imagination. But this
pleasure is not a mere amusement it
la a vital joy, which enlarges the
thoughts and deepen the emotions,
and so ennoble the life of man. This
Is a real and Inestimable service which
poetry ' renders to tho world. The
measure of a man'a worth I not hi
money, but the wealth of his mind and
heart. These lectures are to speak of
three of the ways In which the poets
have enriched the Inner life of matt
kind. Walter ttcott has spoken with scorn
of the man "with soul so dead" that he
has no love for his native land. No
less contemptible 1 the country with
the cold heart which has no poetry to
praise her heruea and encourage her
patriot. Every great , race In the
I world ha expressed Its memories and
hope in poetry. If America should
bevotna a land althout poets she would
lake her place with 'the meaner na
tlnna. No amount of material riches
