Work as an Etcher.

While he was battling for acceptance
as a painter Whistler took up etching
and In this field quickly established
pre-eminence. After an exhibition at
Amsterdam he was recognized as an
etcher Of the first rank and wo~thy TO
be classed with the great masters OF
the art
His etchings became the rage with
collectors, but in a fine frenzy Of in
consistency Whistler became possessed
with the idea that etching Is not a true
art and destroyed a large number Of his
best plates and for time forswore etch-
ing altogether. But he had accomplish
ed some Of his best work in depicting
the river scenes, particularly OF "Old

But why should not call my works"
Whistler is recorded to have eXcIaim-

that many good people whose sense Of
humor is not very capacious think ny
nomenclature funny and myself eccen-
trio. Yes. eccentric. is the best adjec-
tive they find for me. But why do they
not give me credit for meaning some
thing, and knowing what I mean?"
Whistler insisted that as music IS the
poetry OF sound so is painting the poetry
OF sight, and that the subiect-matter
had nothing TO do with harmony Of sound
or color. He held that art should be in
dependent Of all clap-trap. should stand
alone and appeal 20 the artistic sense

with emotions entirely foreign TO #, as
devotion, pity, love. patriotism and the
like.

enemies, as he called himsen, Whistler
was by all odds one of the most enter

So diverting was his pen that many
people forgot his great mastery of his

Sundays Lecture.

The religious services at the
opera house last Sunday we're in
some respects reasonable and
unique.
The services commenced with
song by the male quartete fol.
lowed by brief prayer by Mr..
Pearce.
The quartette rendered an
other song and then followed
the lecture.
The subject of the discourse
was preparation" This was a
stirring appeal to the large audi
ence to prepare to live we'll today
and the speaker made a strong
talk in defense of the children of
our city and colony. After the
lecture MI. Pearce spoke briefly
of his recent unp1easantness with
the church he has been serving
and expressed his gratitude at
being relieved of other duties so
that he might devote ali his time
to the building up of the noble
work he has inaugurated. He
stated that he was determined
to be the pastor of Gods COM
mon people" in this place. His
remarks were warmly received
and Mr.. c. P. Mcmillan made a
very strong and appropriate
speech proposing that Mr..
Pearce be rendered hearty re-
ception and given an enthusiastic
welcome as pastor of the people
IN this broad field. His remarks
were greatly appreciated and
after the closing song and bene-
dlctlon the people rendered Mr..
Pearce a warm reception and
many were the strong words de-
noting the peoples determination
to see this work prosper. AS a
call to a new and independent
field of labor this one of Sunday
was remarkable in that it is the
first of the sort we have ever
known. It seems a settled fact
that this work is destined to be
permanent success.

Sir: There is an error in your paragraph
about late reissue Of my Life Of Queen Vic
tOria" which I shall feel obliged to you for cor
recting l have said no word on the subject to
any interviewer either on this the other side

my work. At banquet given to at Toronto
on May II gratifying words were spoken Of the

lister Of Ontario. Inquiries were made of me as
to the cause Of some Emergencies between the
text OF the early issues and that Of the latest
Newspapers the American continent had
freely attributed the alterations to royal inter
VentiOn. In replying TO Mr.. Ross toast OF my
health I referred to this Misrepresentation. My
own notes, the reCOlleCtionS Of some hearers and
the reports in the Toronto newspapers enable
me to recall my precise words. They ran fol-
lows: During my absence from London q

papers have asserted. that the highest OF all

the late Queen. In circumstances, Of which I
