Show EDMUND RUSSELLS LECTURE MB EDMUND delivered the tint first of his series of lectures on dole deriot ism at the rooms of the Conserva ilcy of music la in the Post postoffice office building last evening the subject was the teachings of delcarte Dala Dele arte the room was well filled the lecturer made his hi appearance aa ajo he spoke from an elevated the corner of we the room his shapely form was clothed in a black dress suit his face which is closely shaved is nut not particularly striking the he features lea tures being short and somewhat round and taken altogether not specially expressive his half hairis Is bunched on the be forehead this peculiarity being liable to attract attention on account of being uncommon mr russell bussell designates his lectures as talks which is 18 appropriate because aside from his ph shoal gention lat batione ione there was nothing oratorical about his bin speech there was no soul in his utterances and they therefore made no play upun upon the emotions of the audience As a consequence his bis changes of facial expression had bad the appearance of being mechanical yet there was a certain charm about the lecture which hold held the audience this thin evidently arose from the fact that it was to a considerable extent anecdotal and comprised a large number of varied statements ments the speaker darting from one feature of his bis subject to the other with such celerity that the mind of the listener haj had opportunity to so poll pall then the audience were adt no 1 I ro re quiren to engage in any gnat mc antal exertion as the enunciations renunciations were not profound i the lecture which was a clear exposition of Delsart ism embodied lauy usefully suggestions in relation to the ubo of the body as an an aid in the expression of thought and feeling in bis abis utilization of the human system it was demonstrated by example that the whole structure ought to be brought into play and that the hands hand and arms occupied a subordinate place in this relation what made the lecoum specially interesting was that defects arising from neglecting to use the boly body as an aid to expression were ana a rule at once recognized by the audience when illustrated by mr russell bussell there le Is a class of people who are am in spi apt cial need of a few hints from title expounder of Delc Dele artean philosophy we refer to persons who are met everywhere on the street they are always rushing along as if they had just been awarded a contract cont to construct a tunnel under the atlantic and were bunting for workmen to begin the labor one of thin class on meeting a friend will say Sherel tb cain 11 1 which Is ia beeme being interpreted how is your health how are the folks folka call and see me probably the last word is uttered after the man in a hurry burry to is four or five yards past the person addressed who generally does doea not rush after him to rive give elaborate answers to the interrogatories which mean worse than nothing Delsart ism and good sense and breeding would re quire the interrogator to stop and by voice and gesture give at least the appearance of solicitude to his questions As mr russell bussell is an enemy to sharp angles and jerky gestures it would not be a bad idea for some of the young men of salt bait lake to attend his hie lectures we reler to those who when saluting lady acquaintances on the street seize their hate draw them down over their facet with a sudden jerk up again back and down on to the head bead all this Is opposed to mr Kusa Russ elPs ellys explanation of the beauty of or rhythmical motion while mr russell kept along in the main thread of h gitig e he uttered much that was and instructive tive when he stepped aside from its main krack track his bis ground was shaky for Iya in speaking of the necessity of taking life easy and caring for the body he be said mid world has been taught the principle of self sacrifice too long this thin expression had bad the appearance of 0 opposition ion to self denial one of the coffe noblest at and manliest qualities of the individual man apart from it there is no friendship no real love no christianity without it a person may have all the outward semblance and polish of gentility without its soul its ito opposite is the cause of most of the woes boes with which humanity is afflicted belt sacrifice for others has not been bee a taught too much while its I 1 motive is not near sufficiently conspicuous among the ram race another unqualified expression by the lecturer was in the form of advice never do anything you do not want to do 11 1 1 this to is opposed to ical principles of the highest order no person can build up character io in that way character construction requires the will to be subordinate to the judgment diment Ju there is no better method of building up a vigorous and consequently capable individuality than to make it a part of each days conduct to determine with regard to what acts are in accord with the demands of duty but whose performance to la against the inclination and do them this cultivates the judgment bub subordinates ordinates the will to it and causes the manly ar or womanly qualities of the individual to shine with admirable luster take the lecture in the main s it was characterized by an elucidation of principles and suggestions the adoption of which would enable the good to emphasize their goodness by strengthened expression such a result how ever would not be attained ty acting on the idea that people ought no not t to do anything they do not want to do da in listening to an exposition of any theory the exercise of proper discrimination will enable a person to select the gems and discard the dross |
