trite as an axiom in mathematics. but when it

O'Reilly as poet of the day at the Plymouth
celebration was objected to on the ground of
nationality, it requires bit of self evdent
truth to meet this curiously illogical ohjec-
ton. Poetry is not only an art,-the highest
and noblest of the arts, but it is one that re-
Quires the true artist, the man of heart and
soul and conviction, the artist
with breadth of intellect, if noble
work is to be produced. No man who has
not lived, in deeper sense than as mere
literary dilettante, could produce such a
work as this poem by Boyle O'Reilly. An
eminent authority remarks of it that no man
who has not suffered for freedom could feel
her sublimity in such manner as breathes
through the entire work. II has been
wrought with an exceeding beauty of work

the concluding lines;
Peoples Voice when farthest thrones shall hear
When teachers own; when thoughtful rabies

When artist minds In world wide symbol show;
When serfs and soldiers their mute faces raise;
When priests on grand cathedral al airs praise
When pride and arrogance shall disappear.

Of public duty, his ceaseless industry, his
constant regard for the wishes Of his con-

Rollins took pride in saying to the people
