Professor C. C. Everett spoke last evening at Appleton Chapel on the tones of mind which may be called cosmopolitan and provincial. The person who lives in the city is so used to a crowd that he is free from all selfconsciousness of manner, so used to the sight of misery that he is callous to it, so used to vice that he ignores it. This kind of man may make a good historian or a good philosopher because he has a perfectly fair frame of mind. Provincial people on the other hand are unused to the jar and noise of the city, wonder at strange sights, shudder at crime and are shocked by vice. They cannot look at disturbances with equanimity and are more likely to form more intense convictions and to be moved by a sterner purpose than the careless city people. Their firmness of purpose makes them often greater and more stirring characters. They are narrow but powerful. Jesus Christ was narrow in this sense so were most other great men.
