For democracy shies

At the artist who tries

To express himself subtly or darkly;

And the man in the street

In a fair plébiscite

Would probably crown Mrs. BARCLAY.


Extract from a sermon:—

"We meet here to-day under circumstances which are not ordinary ... We seem to hear 'the sound of a gong in the tops of the mulberry trees.'"—The Record.
