KIPLING THAT HONOR

Had Been Used So SparingIy.
A delightful lecture on Rudyard Kip
ling was delivered by DR.. Richard Bur-
ton in the Park Congregational church
last evening. The church was well
filled with an appreciative audience Of
Kipling's admirers, who manifested ap-
prevail Of most Of the lecturers deduc-
lions.
DR.. Burton spoke Of the disadvan-
tages under which Kipling labored in
the early years Of his literary ap-
premiership. Instead Of coming into
the literary world through the stately
avenues Of periodical publications. he
fought his way in through journalism
Everything was against him. He was
hack writer on an Indian paper and
did all kinds Of labor except set type
and some Of his most distinctive work
has the element Of journalism in It,
TWo-thirds Of the literary men Of the
present day were formerly Journalists
At one time, said DR.. Burton, Kipling
was subjected to gross abuse, and in
one famous lampoon he was associated
with a second-class writer like Hag-
gard Then, after a number Of years,
he was recognized as poet Of the first
rank, until two years ago, when he
published "The Seven Seas" and was
awarded the highest place
In his life and early surroundings
Kipling had an advantage over all
other English writers. DR.. Burton said
Kipling stands apart from them all.
No matter where he lives, he draws
the heart out Of his locality. Though
he got his first start in India, he has
used other localities with the same re-
suits.
Kipling's early work, said DR.. Bur-
ton, was marred by tendency to
youthful cynicism. This defect, he
thought, was particularly noticeable in
the Gadsby series, which he considered
Kipling's poorest work. Those stories
were not worthy Of Kipling today.
DR.. Burton complained that in many
Of his stories Kipling was too technical,
and he read a few passages illustrating
that fault, and said that not even an
extended course in Kipling would en-
tighten the reader. Such work, he said,
was inadmissible, even though a great
man did it. Kipling's coarseness and
brutality came in for a share Of the

Rev D. f. McGilhcuddy responded to
the toast "Our Flag He spoke elo-

gone. The reverend gentleman said
that the magic impulse that brought
nurses from thes hospitals and sisters
OF mercy from their homes was the
same impulse that brought the man to
face the battle without flinching. When
the flag was flung to the breezes at
Santiago, the reverend gentleman said,

Cuba and also to the United States.
The new era began as soon as the brave

men carried the flag in the cause of
humanity.
He said that perhaps there was new
danger in store for us in the possession
of so much wealth in the new possess
sions
The men who stood beside their col
onels and captains and listened TO the
roar of the battle thought not of creed,
nationality or color. They were all
fighting one battle side by side, and the
only mark was the mark of being men.
The lessons the flag teaches us, he
thought, were lessons that were very
valuable to humanity.
The flag went to Cuba and came back
with added splendor, and II was the
same flag our fathers fought under
many years ago, and it was still the be-
loved flag of our country.
