Naturalness of voice and manner is almost absent from the declama tions of our schools. Especially so is this true of the elocutionary reci tals of our girls. And, each one seems to have been trained by the same unnatural model, to the de struction of her own individuality of speaking. A|false tone and the start theatric are affected. One, judging from the attitudes and frequent gestures of the speakers, would conclude that their conception of oratory is stagi ness. The great Demosthenes did put action as the first, second and third thing in the true orator; still if we must follow his advice, by all means let our action be natural. True ac tion in oratory involves feeling. Gen uine natural action is the resultant of genuine feeling. But your declaimer has not put himself in the place of the author of his piece. He does not understand him, and, of course, he does not feel his words, nor can he convey the senti ment of the author to the hearer. His unnatural tone, manner and false emphasis, confuse the sense and while the air is abundantly sawed, the piece is mouthed and murdered. If one cannot give the pronuncia ’ tion the author thought in, he can not convey his sentiments. The more naturally this is done the bet ter. The more feelingly and force fully, with naturalness the better still. C. K. Henderson. The ministers and deacons meeting of Sarepta Association will be held with the Danielsville church, com mencing July 29th.
