ROBINSON ON BURNS.

Lovers of good literature, who were not
at the Presbyterian church last evening
from s to 1915 O'clock missed 1t, that S
all. DIR. Robinson talked for time about
the revolutionary poets In general their
inhunce for liberty, upon the generation
in which they lived and upon all genera
tions since Burns, Byron, Shelley, Word
sworth and the rest. He classed great
men into men of character and men of
genius; the former having worked up
from earth's land to their commanding
height, their secret may be learned and
to some extent their example followed (;
the latter seem to have been lot down to
us from above, incapable of prediction,
analysis or imitation. One of these
geniusses who stands far apart on the
vantage-ground of the ages was, Is, Rob
ert Burns.
The speaker told the story of Bruins
life, interspersing the relation with quo
tations from his poems. Into this part of
the exercise we shall not follow him.
Although an old story 1t was strangely
interesting one. At the conclusion of the
lecture proper, questions from the audi
ence were invited aud the privilege of
asking them was indulged In by #. t..

another lady whose face we could not sec,
A, McGregor, W. W. Clark and j. j..
Burns.
In reply the speaker discoursed upon
the polarity of character" as exempli-
fled in Burns's great virtues and CORES
ponding defects, upon the question
whether he was the first popular English
poet, whether as poetry is addressed to
the emotional and asthetic side of man
Burns was not greater poet than Shake.
speare, who addressed the intellect,
whether Burns has not warmer place in
the hearts of his countrymen than any
other Sotohman. whether Burns was in
fun or earnest when he said that he re-
sembled Solomon except in the trifling
matter of wisdom.
