KlPLlNe's WAR SONG.

Mr.. Rudyard IIipling Is poet of strong religious
strain, His Methodist ancestry and nurture insure
that No small part of his strength writer, both
of poetry and of prose is raceable to the pervadng
eanestness which is essentially religious in its oun
dalton.
But his religion is of conspcuousy militant type.
His puritansm is like Cromwelrs a half and half mix
ture of praying and lighting. While he might sub
scribe to the apostles text AS far may he in YOU
live pcacoaby with all men, he does not like to dwell
on the counsel Of perfection Of tho sermon the
mount, The sword Of the Lord and of Gideon is a
scripture phrase that appeals to him closely and he
gives the counsel OF the old Puritan, Trust in God
and keep your powder dry
Mr. Kipling's latest poem, The Islanders which
published in the London Times this month, is
conceived in his curously characteristic double spirit
of prayer and lighting of suppcatlon and slogan, of
the amen from the mourner's bench and the cry of
havoc and the deep baying of the dogs of Like
most Fingshmen of the present day, he is distressed
about the Boer war, but he does not deplore it, as
some do because of its injustice He speaks of "udg
ments loosened" but not for the wrong the British
people have committed The judgments he has in
mind are occasoned by the Sin" of the British for
being in better lighting trim. In singing phrase
the poet of Imperialism and miarsm denounces the
"aauneled fools at the wicket and the muddied OATS
at the goals" The remedy for
the shame revealed
AT the hands of little people, few but apt in the
field"
is to have each born in the island broke to tho
matter of war" It is song OF the sword Mr.. Kpllng
sings He would convert England into armed camp
and carry on the to the bitter end, even II it
should involve the determination of the Beers in the
field.
Enthusiastically anti-Boer although Mr. Kipling
may be- it Is noticeable that while his feelings urge
him to berate his fellow countrymen because they
have not been able to make better showing against
the Beers in war, he has not yet thought It his duty
TO volunteer himself and go to the front There is no
doubt that Mr. Kipng is Of sterling enough character
do this If he thought it his duty but 1t is significant
that he has not thought 1t his duty His convictions
fiery though they may be. have not yet bazed out
into action. The kinding of morality is lacking al
though Mr. Kpling himself be unconscious OF the fact
In the South in civil it was otherwise with
our poets. Sidney Lanier and Henry Tmrod urged
their eountrymen TO battle with fervor equal Rud
yard Kplings but their word not go forward"
but Follow mel"
