is love.” Tlic text is suggestive of the life of the man; the sermon spoke of the power for good which must have radiated from him during his ministry. Failing health compelled him to lea ' c his chosen calling and he went to England for some months of travel and rest. After his return he was aj)- pointed lecturer on Vocal Physiology and llygicne in the P oston I ' nivcrsity ' School of Oratory where he remained n nil the death of Prof. Monroe, its dean, when the dc])artment was disconi innod. , hont a year later Dr. Emerson, sni - rounded by a few friends, opened the Alonroc Conservatory of Oratory in Pem- berton Square. In a few years this -ichool outgrew its accommodations and was moved to Veslcyan ] lall on Prom field .Street. The name was changed to the lonroc College of Oratory, and in iS8o. by the urgent recjucst of many of the .Mnmni and the graduating c ' ass of that year it was changed to ihe Ifmcrson College of Oratory, in lionor of its founder. .Pgain the college out- grew its quarters and was removed to ( )dd I ' ellovvs’ Pnilding, and snbse- (inently to L’hickering Hall In 1902 failing health compelled Dr. Emerson to retire from active work, and on his Inrtliday, o cmber 30th, 1908 at the age ol he iinietly and peacefully pa- ' sed away. While the life incidents mav be brictly named, the far-reaching influence r)f the life and teachings of Dr. Emerson cannot be measured. ' J ' o say that for twenty years lie was the spiritual leader of large congregations and for twen- ty-two years more the beloved head of a great educational institution, the largest of its kind in the world, is but faintly suggestive of what he has ac- complished. The teaching of orarory today is on a different basis because of him ; thousands all over this broad land, and in foreign climes, are carrying the glad tidings of a psychological education and a broader spirit of benevo- lence, of love, and of helpfulness to hundreds of thousands whose lives are becoming different because of the great heart and noble life of Charles Wesley ' .merson.
