and Prof. Way.
All in all we believe the meeting
of the Colleton County Sunday
School Conference has been a great
success. Much inspiration has been
gained and all go home with greater
determination to be better men and
women and more earnest workers in
the Sunday School work.

CHARACTERISTICS
AND DEVELOPMENT
Of the Anglo-Saxon Literature.
The early history of Englisn litera
ture might lend some countenenee
to the theory that the development
of a nation ,s literature is *but a
chapter of the religiousTustary.
Not until after the advene of the
Christian faith in Britjpiny do we
know of any established literature
among the Teutonic tribes of the
island.
But before this time we have a
few myths and legends, among
which the story of Be3wulf ranks
first.
This noted legend, like all others
of that, period, was written in the
form of an epic, being added to by
each scop as he would tell the story
at the feasts of the Anglo-Saxon
nobles!
After the coming of the Roman
missionaries in 597, fortified by the
gospel precept for the present life,
and thrilled by the hope of the life
hereafter, the Saxon mind, released
from disquietude, felt free to range
discussing through rich regions, of
human knowledge, and the Saxon
heart was fain to pour out many
rude but vigorous songs.
The first English poet we know by
naihs was Caldmon.» Not long after
his death, in 750, another poet was
born, by the name of Cynwulf. In
the woftes of these early authors one
notes their appreciation of their
new faith, most of their work being
on‘religious subjects, or translations
of the Scripture^. ■ *
Of the prose writers of this period
the.most noted is Bede.
From 735 until the reign of “Al
fred the Great” the Britains were at
war with the Danes. Therefore, the
works of this period and much of
the past works was lost by the de
struction of the enemies.
After peace was made Alfred did
much toward the restoration of the
literature; but after his death the
literature sank to the worst period
of intellectual darkness, the Tenth
Century.
For about 150 years after the
Roman conquest in 1066 there was
no unity of intellectual spirit,, Yet
ideas of duty with richness and
grace; thus giving us a foresight of
the greatness of the" literature
which in the coming century was to
rise to even greater heights.—Edith
L. Frayser, Walterboro Graded
School.

There was fluttering hearts and
