Aberhart has the knack of reach- 4ng down and gripping the imagina- tion of his hearers with graphic and colorful phrases and _ illustrations. | And he always speaks the language of the audience. He is strong also with his sympathetic approach to the Feople. Virtually all Aberhart’s utterances ere delivered with an air of absolute * finality.
