Description:This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ... THE GREAT WHISPERING GALLERY 0E0N THE caPito1 at Washington, in St. Paul's cathedral, London, and at Gloucester ca thedral in England, there are domes in egiglgl which the faintest sounds conveyed around the interior may be readily heard--and these are called "whispering galleries." The original "whispering gallery" was built centuries ago by Dionysus, the tyrant. It was a cavern 170 feet long, 60 feet high, and 20 to 35 feet wide. It was built so that Dionysus could hear the solitary murmurings of his prisoners, was connected by a secret passage to the tyrant's palace, and was known as the "Ear of Dionysus," because the faintest whisper of a prisoner reached his master's ear. Men will be more careful as to their thoughts and deeds when they learn to remember in every moment of their lives that this great world is a whispering gallery where the smallest thought or deed has wide-spread influence. Richter gave us the idea when he wrote: "Words that a father speaks to his children in the privacy of home, are not heard by the world, but, as in whispering galleries, they are clearly heard at the end, and by posterity." As with a father's words, so with the words and seeds, and even the thoughts of others. The mother's prayer, the father's counsel, the sister's tear, the friend's smile, and the brother's word of cheer, exert an influence extending far beyond the interests of the immediate beneficiary, even "as the small pebble stirs the peaceful lake; the center mov'd, a circle straight succeeds, another still, and still another spreads." Every man and woman under whose eyes these lines fall, perhaps, remembers some other man or woman, or perhaps a little child, who has exerted marked influence for good upon the life and character of another....We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
