""Cl9Rdt 2400 Â¥p FOUR SQUARE MEN‘S CLASS A HEARS REV. A. E. BAKER birth Gemma dei Donati, by whom he had 7 children, but his life was by no means a happy one. He was a man mhd a great deal of interest in the tical life of Florence, and the northâ€" Dante, however, seems to have scarcely known Beatrice as she grew into womanhood. When about twenty years of :g: she married, and died in 1290, at age of twentyâ€"five. At this time or a little enrlicr),\}):me wrote the first portion of Vite Nowva, which was not completed juntir some yéars rnfln. !n‘zio work he narrates partly r ).nl“n verse, the story of his passion for Beatrice. ‘Po tell the story of Dante‘s life would be to give a Wistory of the troublous times in which he lived.. He married a lady of noble as might be said in the words of Homâ€" er "She seemeth not the «lalughter of mortal man, but of God". Many said when she passed: ‘"This is not a woman; rather, she is one of the most beautiful angels of heaven" and others said, "She is a marvel. Blessed be the Lord who can work thus admirably." "Nine times now, since my birth, had the heaven of light turned atmost to the same point in its own gyration, when first appeared before mine eyes the glorious Lady of mg mind, who was called Beatrice ("the Blessed"). Truly He loved Beatrice, not in the ordinâ€" ary way of sex, or any other form of love one may expect asâ€"between male and female. She was far above any thought such as those. In his book enâ€" titled Vite Nonva he describes her. At the entrance however, it is noted that there is no hope at any time for those who enter Inferno. . The followâ€" ing. inscription:â€""All hope abandon, ye who enter here". Before actually taking up the subject, it would not be out of place to say a few words about this great writer, for no doubt a great writer he was. Dante, (Durante Aliâ€" ghieri) was an Italian poet. Born in the city of Florence in 1265; died at Ravenna,,Sept.. 14, 1821. The name Dante, ‘)y which he is univeraally‘ known, is a contraction‘of his baptisâ€" mal name "Durante". The family Aliâ€" ghieri, belonged to the nobles of Italy, but not of course of the very highest rank in Florence. Dante was but a child when his father died. Of his eduâ€" cational career very little is known. As early as his ninth year, an incident ocâ€" eurred which had much to do in shapâ€" ing his whole future life. In that year he met for the first time, a most beauâ€" tiful young girl of noble family named Beatricé Portinari. Fou many present have the idea that it s rather a hot subject, and that no matter who may have written about Hell, or Inferno, would picture the place as being one of fire and brimâ€" stone. This is not so, for as a matter of fact, Dante for some reason or other places his satanic majesty in a block of ite. ‘Bhere are, if Dante is to be taken seriously, not less than 10 hells, or places of torment where people are placed in accordance with the sins of, either ommission or commission they committed. The speaker, however, emphisized the fact that the Bible, which fiau been handed down to us, is without doubt the inspired words of God as handed down to the prophets and the proof of this assertionisâ€"that the "word" lives, and causes men in our day to live a fuller and larger life, far in advance of any other forms of [philosophy, or religious thought. The laws of Moses are just as applicable in our day as when they were sfoken by the prophet, and the same all along the line to the birth of Jesus, of whom all can say without fear of contradiction that "No other man spake as he". His words are living worgds. His sermons are still living serâ€" mons. Full of life and spplicag‘l‘e to our every day life, if only men of the world \mld heed his words, and put them practice. ~ . ._*~ $ s Rev. A. E. Baker Speaks i After a few introductory words, and references made to the former speaker, Rev. A. E. Baker, Pastor of Davenport United Church, said, "As you are aware gentlemén, the subject 1 purpose speakâ€" ing upon is Dante‘s Inferno, and 1 supâ€" The comparison between the Brahâ€" min and the religion of Buddha, and the various steps taken by the lut’ter was both instructive as well as interâ€" utin,. ‘These two sects or shall we say, founders of their respective reliâ€" glon8, could not very well he classed as a religion. They are, however, very beautiful kinds of philosophy. Saturâ€" ated with a great deal of superstition created by the Erients and other high officials, thus keeping the people in almost abject misery as to what they were expected to do, to think and obâ€", serve. â€" Es Te w it o o on Emm ie msV {ect of "How we got our religion," and he way he leads one on in the travels made by the pioneers of practically all former kinds of religions of the past, some of which are still in existence, though they are gradually | losing ground to the Christian religion, is to say the least very enlightening.

Silence in Honor of Memory of Late King «It was a splendid address, and one which, the full meaning would be betâ€" ter appreciated after one were to read the works of Dante, and better still to see the works as illustrated by the great artist ‘Dore‘. In all art it is questionable whether any other painter couldphaveâ€"portrayed more vividly the work@ of Dante than did Dove. * Mr. Haker gave every member something to think about by the way he connected our life as we were living it, with this most" Wenderful work, which is looked upon‘@s one, of the outstanding classies in the whol@.world. And‘in.spite of the fact that Dante‘s Inferno is one horrible dream, it is a masterpiece, and in his Paradiso, he points out that for those who lived worthily there was a place of reward so grand, and so unspeakable that it was worthâ€"while and proved concluâ€" sively that no.matter which path we tread, we will find God at the end of the road. That is worth ponderinfi‘ upon, and acting on, because to fin God at the end of the road simglx means that there will be that joy whic passeth all understanding. Bnl‘Aqulwol, in the time of the false 'lyinfimgodu. and my parents were Lombards,. and both of Mantua by. country, ete., etc. That was enough for Dante to recoinize that he was in the compani of the shade of Virgil, and Dante then asked, "Art thou then that Virgil, and that fountain which pours abroad so rich a stream of speech ?" So Virgil finally escorted Dante through Hell, of which we have stated there were some ten departments, all conâ€" or conduct of those who had not lived taining punishments to fit the crimes as Gr')\J intended them to do on earth. For exampleâ€"he says, "While I was rushing downward, there appeared beâ€" for@mine eyes one who seemed hoarse with long silence. When 1 saw him in the great desert, I cried: "Have pity on me, whate‘er thou be, whether shade or venergble man! * He answered me: "Not a man, a man I was; and lived at Rome beneath the happy ending. Inferno of course is only one part of the complete work which is â€"Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso. The wholé is often referred to as "Dante‘s Dream, for no doubt such it was, but the remarkable part being that it was put into verse. He peoples his He)l‘ and talks to them, in company with the shade of one Virgil, who takes him through the various (Flnces, introduces him to characters and men he (Dante) had known on earth. It appears that he saw men ahd women whom he was surâ€" priudb:o ;ee, these l:md no doubt five« a double life, and had got their just deu&‘. C f tion of the Divina Commedia (the comâ€" _edy)q&c‘gl}se it has a fortunate, and One would be almost lead to feel that Dante‘s Inferno was the result of the foul. treatment he had meted out to him, by those whom he did his best to serve. Dante himself, in acletter to Can Grande della Scala, explains the intenâ€" who had been ‘sent on an embassy ‘to the Papal Court of Reme, was with a number of others, condemned to perâ€" rtunl exile, and he never again saw is native Florence. He did have an offer of paérdon on conditions that he humble himself, and make a confession ofâ€"his guilt, an offer which he turned down as being despicable, and to a friend of his Ds is said to have stated, "I will enter my fair Florence on no lagging steps, far be it from a man, the fimcher of justice, to pay those who ave done him wrong as for a favour. Can 1 not everywhere behold the sun and the stars? Speculate on sweetest truths under any sky, without giving mysélf up inglorious, nay ignominious, to the populace of Florence?
