Generalization. Emotive has its Affectional, Passional, Mystical, Spiritual, Ethical. In this is included a wide range of feelings of which faith, hope, love and their opposites are greatest. Sentiments and ignoble passions belong to the Emotive. All three sides are capable of wonderful culture and development. The principles and studies in " The Art of Rendering" in connection with "The Science of Speech," which is an indispensable part of the study-though for convenience is published in a separate volume-give a true Mental Method which allows the child and the sage to study side. by side, each working from his own standpoint, the progress of both being equally rapid because of a similar process going on in each—that of a natural, psychological growth. Says Beecher."To make men patriots, to make men Christians, to make men the sons of God, let all the doors of heaven be opened, and let God drop down charmed gifts: winged imaginations, all-perceiving reason, and all-adjudg. ing reason. Whatever there is that can make men wiser and better, let it descend upon the head of him who has consecrated himself to the work of mankind, and who has made himself an orator for man's sake and for God's sake.
