purpose to communicate that thought to others, the tones of his
voice become evenly sustained and smooth.

Smoothness may be said to result from a sense of oneness with the
audience. So long as there is a gulf between the speaker and
audience, there is conscious and apparent effort in the address.
It is a growing love, a vital sympathy with the audience that
manifests itself in smoothness.

This second step grows in natural sequence out of the first. Out
of the abundance of life comes sweetness. In all the successive
steps of the pupil's evolution, he is constantly to add, never to
discard or lay aside any power previously gained. Rather than
outgrow it, he will grow in it. All that he will outgrow will be
his faults, his mannerisms, his limitations. As he gains freedom,
transcending limitations, his mannerisms will fall away from him;
he need never be made conscious that he has had them.

Analysis. Example, "The Village Preacher." The Unit, or Working
Whole: A village preacher who radiates the spirit of love.

The student's endeavor must be to reflect continuously the
overflowing love of the preacher's nature, which blessed all with
whom he came in contact. The audience should feel the presence of
the great-hearted man throughout the reading of the entire
selection, even when he is not described. For instance, he may be
foreshadowed in the introduction.
