Dr. Vaaa Compares Bible Foetry
’Ri'.b the Greek, Latin and English.
The service* at the First Presbyterian
cturch were unusually interesting, and the
music was a special feature. There were no
decoration*. The sermon was on “lecorin
plete Lives."
The third and concluding sermon on
“Hebrew poetry" was preached last night
by Kev. L- C. Vass, D. D. A direct com
parison was made between sacred and secu
lar poetry by selections of celebrated ex
cerpts. Dr. Yass said:
During the Peloponesian war the Athe
nian army was defeated in Sicily. The
prisoners were condemned todeath, but all
who could repeat any verses of Euripides
were spared. Such was the Greeks' admira
tion for poetic beauty. Everywhere and
always does the human *oul respond to the
mystic touch of rythm, glowing with the
warmptb of the rapt poet’s electric
fervor. Our holy Bible is invested with
mightier compelling and serving power
than the roost thrilling words of Greek
tragedians. Some of thess element* of power
have been pointed out in the preceding dis
courses.
Epic and dramatic poety are the highest
and most difficult styles, born of scheming
art and active invention. The Epic de
scribes action, and lives in undying bril
liance in such works as Virgil’s rEuled,
Homer’s Iliad, Milton’* Paradise Lost or the
Niebelungen Lied.
Dramatic poetry represents action. It
was first employed to excite reverence for
the gods. In times of pestilence the Komaus
resorted to the theaters to appease the
offended deities. All this required much
machinery. We have dramas io tragedies
and plays of and Sophocles,
Shakespeare, miracle plays or the Ober-
Ammergau passion play.
The Hebrew muse, too truthful to intro
duce such machinery, has no long epics or
elaborate dramas. Yet the Bible abounds
in epic and dramatic poetry, which is the
germ of all since born. Daniel Webster
regarded the book of Job as the most mag
nificent epic in literature. But Job is more
properly a sublime drama, almost Eurip
idean in form, from its prologue, through
scenes of mystery, shifting from heaven to
earth and earth to heaven; while its grand
hero wrestles with misfortune and despair,
end grasps dying hope with victorious
faith. Cheerfully we lay it beside noblest
works of earth’s noblest dramatists, and
claim the crown of perfection.
SOLOMON’S SONS.
Solomon’s song is a complete drama, even
to its brilliant, classic chorus. As the
drama borrows from the epio its material,
and from the lyrio its method, so we find
herein beauties of both lyric and pastoral
composition. Other illustrations of noble
epic or heroic poems are psalms 78 and 91,
Moses’ touching Farewell, and Deborah’s
thrilling Battle Song.
But while all this is justly claimed for
Hebrew poetry, its highest triumphs are
won chiefly in the domain of the lyric and
didactic, embracing proverbial, descriptive,
pastoral and elegiac productions. Dr. Vass
said that his chief care now was to make
some selections from inspired poetry and
compare them with most exquis'ite gems cf
uninspired poets upon similar the i es. He
then quoted Homer’s celebrated description
of a storm raised by Neptune:
He spoke, and high the fork}- trident hurled,
Rolls clouds on clouds, and stirs the watery
world;
At once the face of earth and sea deforms,
Swells all the winds and raises all the storms.
Down rushed the night; east, west, together
roar:
Anl south and north roll mountains to the
shore.
Shakespeare, in “The Tempest,” makes
“Prospero” say:
I have called forth the mutinous winds,
And ’twist the green sea and the azured vault
Set roaring war; to the dread rattling thunder
Have I given fire, and rifted Jove’s stout oak
With his own bolt.
Browning’s storm in “Pippo Passes,”
Shelley’s, Montgomery’s and Virgil’s were
also noted: and Byron’s storm in “The
Alps,” whore he graphically say's:
Far along
From peak to peak, the ratling crags among,
Leaps the live thunder!
Then was quoted at length David’s Psalm
xxix., beginning:
The voice of the Lord is upon the waters,
The Uod of glory tbundereth.
Also Psalm xviii., beginning:
He bowed the heavens also, and came down,
And darkness was under his feet.
And he rode upon a cherub, ami did fly;
Yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
In all human literature there are no such
poetic lines as these, binding in vivid words
the swift-paced, destroying tempest, and
giving it life, awe, power, glory, unsur
passed save by the roaring storm itself.
THE SUPERNATURAL.
It is difficult to paint, in words, the super
natural. VV ithoqt great skill it becomes a
burlesque. Hero Dr. Vass quoted Virgil’s
description of the appearance of
the shade of Creusa, wife of
--Eneas; Osslun’s account of the apparition
of the Spirit of Loda to Fingal, King of
JVlorven: and Southey’s picture of that mar
velous aoparition of Avaron to Kaiigal.
But he said these specters, clad in steel, ad
whose eyes and teeth and hair aud dress are
all so clearly described, lack that super
natural horror aud vagueness of terror and
strange power that are given by Job—
who is the first that ever hurst
Into that silent sea
°- this was illustrated from Job
xiv. V\ here a shadow of a shade was felt
to pass in silent mocion and outline of living
msst. Then were presented the vivid de
scription of the warhorse by Virgil and by
Job; and the exquisite pastoral, the seventh
pl t.v Theocritus; then the 23d and 104th
Fsalms.
ineae comparisons, he said, must cease,
ihey give an intimation of the pleasures
and beauties of God’s word as literature,
and show how the hidden soul of harmony
pours out exultant strains of immortal
melodies. In dull, aching hours of heart
grief*, comforts increase through these un
-ettered experiences of human bouL under
roly guidance. Stars thus thicken aud
brighten with deepening darkness. Joys
gather richest zest from these choral pas
torals and pious idyls of field and shy, aud
cross; just us with opening day are born
ong and freshened life. Radiant laughter
and loving psalms will thus float upward in
niore and more perfect strains from imin r
tal bouls, pilgrims redeemed from sin for
unfading glory.

SERAGLIO TO ALTAR.
A Beautiful Singer Who Was Once the
Sultan’s Bride.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Boston, March 18.—The marriage of
beautiful Laura Schirmer, as she was called
here, to Henry Mapleson in Paris yesterday,
has aroused great interest la this city, her
former home. The last heard from Miss
Schirmer, the one time operatic star of Bos
ton, was two years ago, when a romantic
story came from the Orient. Boston was
then shocked by the sensational tale in
which the name of Miss Laura Schirmer
was freely used.
The story was that she had abandoned the
stage, thrown up the brightest of prospects
and, of her own accord, had entered the
harem of the Sultan at Constantinople to
live a life of luxury. The story was as ro
mantic and sensational as the skill aud
imagination of the writer could make it.
Mass Schirmer’s friends had not heard from
her for a long time aud the report naturally
excited them and caused the greatest
anxiety. They did not believe that the re
port was true, though they knew that her
m trried life had not been a happy one, and
they would not have been surprised if she
had separated from her husband or had
trouble with him. That she had voluntarily
entered the harem they could not believe,
nor did they credit the report of her death
from poisoning.
A SEARCH FOR THE MIBSING GIRL.
They felt, however, that it was necessary
to do something more than present their be
lief in the singer’s innocence against the
story, anci they at once set out to prove the
falsity of the report. After discussing a
number of plana which they thought might
load to the discovery of the missing girl,
some of Miss Sohirmer’s friends went to a
prominent and wealthy theatrical manager
in this city. By his aid and that of corre
spondents in France, it was found that she
had disappeared mysteriously. The Bearch
then began in earnest.
Henry Haynle at Paris was the first to ob
tain a clew to her whereabouts, and after
traveling many hundred miles he found a
direct trace of her, and by rapidly following
it up he met her on Nov. 11, and at once the
following was received in Boston:
Paris, Nov. 11. 1888.—Miss S. is found. She
is well and at liberty to receive her friends.
She can be engaged if any American manager
desires, and does not object to travel.
It was claimed that Miss Schirmer’;
death, together with that of 13 others, was
announced in the official bulletins from the
harem. It was found that the whole story
had its origin in a paragraph published iu
Milan.
THE AMERICAN SINGER NOT POISONED.
There had been no wholesale poisoning in
Constantinople and no official publication
there announcing that there had been any.
The horrible story of the hurrying away of
the bodies of the victims of the sultan’s lust
and wrath to shallow graves, from which
they were dug up by the dogs of Constanti
nople, bad no reality.
Miss Schirmer was alive and a captive in
no sense. She had good reason for living
quietly abroad, but she bad never tried to
hide herself from the world. Her friends
claimed that since the tenor, Byron, came
into her life aud married her, her career
has been blighted and her I>t a most un
happy one. Sno was mad in love with him
and he has ill repaid her affection and de
votion. It is claimed that but for her hus
band her success abroad would have been
all that the promise of her American ce Jut
indicated.
When Arthur Sullivan wanted a leading
singer for “The Mikado” all the musical
centers of Europe were telegraphed for Miss
Schirmer, but she could not be found. Life
with Byron, her husband, became unbear
able, and, when be was sent home to Italy,
there appeared forthwith in the Italian
papers the fanciful story of the wholesale
poisoning of Laura and thirteen others of
the grand Turk’s women.
THE FAMILY A GOOD ONN.
She is a lady of high German lineage.
Her father, Ludwig, who died a few years
ago was an artist of honorable name in this
city, ad her mother, a lady of noble Ger
man birth, lived hare for some time. Twelve
years ago Miss Schirmer was Introduced
most conspicuously to the Boston stage as
an opera singer. Before her 18th year she
had made a vivid impression as a concert
singer. She was known as the beautiful
Laura Schirmer, and she bad the best musi
cal training that Boston afforded.
Miss Schirmer Dad a winning face, a most
fascinating manner, and her voice, a light
soprano, was of exquisite quality. She
made so marked a su Cess on the concert
stage that before her 20th year she over
came the objections of her fami y, so far as
to make a beginning of study for the op
eratic stage, aud than followed her pictur
esque career.
Laura Schirmer’s mother, who lives in
the Highland district of Boston, had not
heard of the marriage until called upon
this morning. She received the news with
the utmost surprise. The career of the
young woman has not been a pleasant one
to her parents, and this latest news caused
great distress.

AN ANCIENT WRECK.
Aa Interesting Account of a Historical
Fpos.
Editor Morning News: In your issue of
last Thursday there appears au account of
the discovery of an “ancient. wreck” at
Pegwell Bay, near the old Cinque port town
of Sandwich. There are probably not many
of your readers who are acquainted with
this out-of-the-way and almott forgotten
■pot. Still it is one full of intereit not only
to the arcbwological student, but to the
whole English speaking race, for in the
immediate vicinity was enacted some of the
most stirring event* in the early history of
Britain.
There is little doubt that it was here
Julius Ciesar landed B. C. 51—although
Dover has had the credit of that event until
of late years. Prof. Furley, in his “History
of the Weald of Kent,” with good grounds
claims this as the spot, and not only the
natural configuration of the land here war
rant* this assertion, but other remaining
evidences go to prove it. Here the invnders
foui and a low, sandy shore, while at Dover
they were met by high, precipitous cliffs.
Here, also, are the massive ruins of
Richborr.’ castle (the “Portus Ritupia’’)
of the Romans, about the first of their
strongholds of which we have any record
in Britain, Its three massive walls still re
maining in excellent preservation on the
land side, while its front was protected by
the river Stour, then a broad estuary of the
tea. Excepting the “Pharos’’ (fire bea
con) at Dover, no portion of the castle Is of
Roman construction, and this was erected
centuries before to guide the Roman galleys
from Gaul which then skirted the coast and
made their way to Sandwich, then the first
port in Britain. The Isle of Thanet was
then separated from the main land by a
broad aud navigable channel, and so im
portant aid the Romans regard this water
way that they constructed a stronghold
with a large gar Ison at each entrance —
the Portus Ritupia at Sandwich and Re
culver on the north side. For nearly 1,500
years this was the route take a for the very
considerable traffic from France and the
Medlteranean ports, and even dpwn to
Queen Elizabeth’s reigu “small craft”
passed through to London.
It was here that Saint Augu-tine, sont by
Pope Sr. Gregory to Ethelbert, King of
Kent, landed A. D. 597, aud a monument
erected by Earl Granville, the present lord
warden of the Cinque ports, marks the spot.
There is no record that he visited Sand
wich, but he appears to have accepted the
hospitalities of the Abbey of Minster in the
Isle of ThaDet, some two miles distant, and
then proceeded to Canterbury, where ho
established the first Christian church in
Britain.
The Cinque ports, of which Sandwich is
the first, mantained their prominence in
trade for many centuries, and it was in
consideration of this trade that many privi
ilege* were granted to them, they also send
ing a certain number of men to the King of
Eng!aud for the many little wars be always
had on hand. And this was the nucleus of
that army of doughty warriors, tho “men
of Kent,’ of which whose descendants to this
day are proud to recount their deeds.
The office of lord wardeu of the Cinque
ports has always been held by some of Eug
land’s greatest statesmen and warriors.
Until his death the Duke of Wellington
held the position, but the glory of Saudwich
has gone. The sea, with all its fiekleuess, re
ceded from its shores, aid all that is left of
its former greatness are its walls and draw
bride, its deserted quays and warehouses,
while the lazy Stour flows by it on its course
to Canterbury, some sixteen miles distant,
where reigns the primate of all EnglauiL
HOW GOOD MAY BE DONE.
A Suggestion that Is Worthy of
Thought ul Attention.
Editor Morning News: So many per
sons, whose opinion I greatly value, have
signified approval of the suggestion that
the county of Chatham should inaugurate
a school for the reform of idle boys that 1
venture to ask space to again call attention
to the need that exists for such an institu
tion. Evidence comes to me daily from
practical people who take no interest in
theologi’ai discussions, butjwho, seeing lads
of tender years left to their own devices,
gradually becoming thieves, say it is a
need! My waif is in Atlanta dirty, ragged
and rapidly becoming vicious. This
pigmy of 11 years is becoming a
giant aud to-day defies all
authority, and will prove a costly object
lesson, pointing out to us the good that wa
might have done and did not do. The
school would prove a wise measure of econ
omy. It is feasible. The determined effort
of a few earnest women and men would
insure it.* Some ladies in Atlanta wrote to
the authorities in New York asking admis
sion for this boy to the reformatory. It
was declined, for the reason that the school
was a state institution. And there is no
valid reason why there should not he such
an institution here. Wm. R. Boyd.
The Shell Load Question.
Edifor Morning News: While the people
of our city are so stirred up and excited
over the shell road case, their attention
ought to be called to the fact that Instead
of centering their preduces against the shell
road company they ought to place the fault
whore it justly belongs. The law prescribes
a way for taking private property for public
use, and the directors of this road have
done all in their power to have that portion
of the road north of Twelfth street con
demned; appraisers appointed, and tho toll
gate moved; and tho city positively refused
to do it, aud the effort that has been made
to create an impression that the shell road
company - can prevent the city from opening
Bull street ia a perfect piece of folly. It is
natuial for the citizens to object to having
a toll gate so fir inside the city limits. At
the same time it is just as natural for those
who have their money invested in the stock
of this company to refuse to give up so val
uable a franchise, covering over a half a
miie of Bull street, without being properly
compensated for same.
The people of Savannah were very thank
ful to tne legislature of Georgia for grant
i ig the two charters under which our i wo
shell roads were built, aud felt proud of
having two such driVts when there was not
a paved street in the city, and no fault
should be attached to that honorable body
for passing laws that were good thirty two
years ago and are not objectionable now if
Savannah would only comply with tho
laws of to-dav.
If the city is so anxious to give her people
what they are entitled to and ought to have
had long ago, let every street in the city
limits t.e o;enedat once, but it must not at
tempt to take something for nothing. No
shell road or any other corporation can
stand in the way of a city opening or ex
tending her streets, aud I hope the good
people of our city will ak
the council why they have been kept from
enjoying these privileges when lauds will
never be any cheaper for s reet purposes
t.an they are to-day.
