1.H 04. Popular Orators

Popular Orators. Who are the speakers that move the crowd men after the pattern of Whitefield, what are they? They arc. almost always men of very large physical development, men of very strong digestive powers, and whose lungs have great aerating capacity. They arc men of great vitality and recuperative force. They are men who, while they have a sufficient thought power to create all the material needed, have preeminently the, explosive power by which they can thrust their materials out at men. They are catapults, and men go down before them. Of course you will find men now and then, thin and shrill voiced, who are popular speakers. Sometimes men are organized with a compact nervous temperament and are slender-framed, while they have a certain concentrated earnestness, and in narrow lines they move with great intensity. John Randolph was such a man.
