The Poem Game idea, in its rhythmic picnic stage, is recommended to amateurs, its further development to be on their own initiative. Informal parties might divide into groups of dancers and groups of chanters.

That exalted monarch then entered his own palace, worshipped by exalted Brahmanas conversant with the Vedas, eulogised by chanters of panegyrical hymns and congratulated by the citizens.

Above the heads of the crowd and the broad-brimmed hats of the women, beyond the chanters, the priest could be distinguished in his chasuble of gold. To his sharp voice responded the strong voices of the men who filled up the gallery, and the wooden vault quivered above its stone arches. The walls were decorated with the stations of the Cross.

In the public square or marketplace a stage would be erected, and from this pulpit Tetzel would preach. The man had a commanding presence, and a certain rough and telling eloquence. He was the foremost Evangelist of his day. He had a chorus of chanters, who wore bright robes and sang and played harps. It will thus be seen that Moody and Sankey methods are no new thing.

Let chanters and panegyrists praise thee with innumerable laudatory hymns.

That which in tendency, and by the spirit of her institutions that which, by her very corruptions and abuses co-operating with her laws, Rome promised and involved in the germ even that, and nothing less or different, did Rome unfold and accomplish under this Julian violence.
