THE UNITY CLUB. The subject under
discussion at the Unity Club last Tuesday
evening was 1.-THE Poets of Transcenden-
talism" and Miss Maude E. Barker read
paper dealing with the early poets of this
cult She prefaced her essay with origi-
nal verses dealing with the material, imma-
terial, human and divine in life, purposely
clothing witty thoughts with the vagucdic-
tion apropos to the subject. The essay was
comprehensive and interesting and dealt
had special reference to this much mooted
theme. Emerson was accorded the first
place, and extracts from his writings, from
Lowell, and other lights of the Brook Farm,
were given. Miss Barker took up brief
biography of authors whose fragmentary
works have been compiled only recently in
book form from periodicals and treasured
manuscript, and read selections from DR..
Watson, native of Brooksville, Me, and
an early student in Belfast, Theodore Par
ker, Charles A. Dana, and many from the
lecture platform-the majority from the
mi1iiStry-making a bewilGering array who
have contributed verses aid poetry on this
theology. Women, of whom Margaret EEnl-
Ter was given the place of honor, and others
who were Influenced by Emerson, and some
of the leaders of his day, were mentioned.
AS Miss Barker took up incidents of their
lives, Rev. Adolph Rossbach read selections
from the authors mentioned, with explana-
tion, comment and criticism of thought and
diction. 1t was an evening we'll spent, fur
nishing material for thought that should be
instructive.
