The record is that Of life, life-the same
life that men know here and everywhere
where some men have learned and others
left unlearned the const ants of love and
labor and faith. However, it is some
thing to see the life Of the Labrador. One
finds tragedy there as he might in the
wreckage along the coast; he also finds
beauty as he might In the rocks lying
yellow in the sun. A sunny, but rugged
character, typical Of the region in it's
fairer moods Is Mr.. Duncan's Skipper
Tommy, whose death inspires the author
to this: 49,. - 49,, .::y..,s r. Z,

The life of the Labrador as pictured by
Mr.. Duncan is thus quaint and homely,
but again let it be said it is life.

Francis Miltoun remarks in the intro

of art and literature are lovers OF

three in the highest sense touch man on

| is a reason for great cathedrals-they are
an expression Of the deepest need in his
nature. For the same reason there
should be fewer churches resembling sin
their interiors, playhouses, and in their
exteriors cotton factories and breweries. u
A certain church in St. Paul has been
said by friend of The Uneasy Chair, to
suggest to him "a holy brewery" The

books in hand Mrs. Taber's book gives
briefly the histories of the cathedrals to-

much the same method, paying less at
