verse just published by Robert Rex

the frs page appears this little in
scription from the pen Of the author:
This little book of yagrant verse

For DAYS OF auld lang syne.
The title l. the name of the opening
poem which tells why the speaker is
playing the tanks with a Reuben show.
II is romance with a tragic side
and handled with skill and power.
There is "A great variety in the
familiar verses that follow the leader
but all are marked with touch OF
genius. whether the song be OF the
simplest or the most ambitious. Few

ballad. in sentiment. or jest, music
and eloquence alike ne displays so
much grace. 50 fine an ear, so broad
a reach Of sympathy and such knowl-
edge OF the world as to surprise and
delight on every page.
Mr. Rexdale is saturated with the
classics but uses them in a def way
that fits his theme and never weights

classic source and are all the richer

Illness: of course. physicians can
cheerfully donate their services
our common humanity makes
these trifiing things imperative
but when We have done all this,
have we shown what is IN our
hearts today, have we made a wOr-
thy tribute TO this girl who gave
herself a willing sacrifice? | think
not.
] think that the time has come
for us to realize that just so long
as we are willing TO delegate our
works of mercy, just so long as we
are contented 10 practice the Chris
tan religion through paid substi-
tutes, the very least we can do is
TO support these substitutes gen
erOusly, royalty, lavishly, and TO
furnish them with an unstinted
hand the means which are needed
to prosecute their work without
ious thought.
/ think that the time has come
for us to realize how sad it is and
how shameful that every good o.
work in our city is thriving from
hand TO mouth. and that the es-
pecial work OF the Visiting Nurse
association has 50 grown under
the faithful care of Miss Giles
that it is no longer possible TO
carry it on successfully on the
meagre gifts with which it com
menced its work.
There are several ways In which
We can perpetuate Miss Giles
memory. There is a fund already
started, I understand. But / do
believe that this Is the time for
US to sense the larger fact that
our hospital accommodations are
utterly inadequate for the needs
OF this city, and that the ideal be-
fore which We bow today in sor-
row viii not approach even to a
partial realization until we build
on broad and generous foundations
a home where the sick poor can
find care and sympathy and health
without mortgaging their homes
and jeopardizing their future.
There Is wealth here, and to
spare. We nave money TO frivol
away on every caprice of selfish
ness. Our charities cost US moth
ing. for what We give comes large
~ from the superabundance of in
comes. not from the sweat OF our
brows. We give. but we give up
nothing. We contribute, but We
do not sacrifice. We write our
checks, but no man wears his old
suit another year TO do IL. and no
womsn's table is deprived of a
single celicacy. That is our
measure
But this little woman gave-she
gave herself. Sc laid down her
life for her friends, the poor. the

The address delivered by Rev. Gran
Vile II. Sherwood. rector of Trinit
church, at the bier of Miss Margare
Giles, late visiting nurse, on the occs
sion of the funeral ceremonies at tn
church yesterday afternoon, Is pub
lished in its entirety, by request
Apart from the beautiful tribute, tn
suggestion of a substantial memoria
is worthy of deep consideration:
II is not for YOU nor for me to
eulogize Margaret Giles. Three
days ago the One whose praise
alone is worthy met her with the
words: We'll done, thou good and
faithful servant: enter thou into
the JOY of thy Lord" We cannot
add 10 that nor embellish it. All
We could say would be the weak
est human echo of a glorious di-
vine commentator.
Our presence here is a partial
utterance of what we would say.
These flowers are but human SYM
pathy seeking speech. And yet
all our efforts at tribute seem
rather pitiful We ourselves seem
pitiful by the side OF this noble
girl. She was so vastly our super
Tor. so UNNECESSARILY more useful
10 the world. so infinitely more
precious TO God because of her
usefulness. that what We say and
do and what we are seems pitiful.
We are depressed today not only
with sorrow, We are depressed
with a keen sense of our own I'M
worth This life has made us feel
how little and measre our own
life is. and any tribute We pay to
Margaret Giles is a tribute not to
a person only but TO an ideal-an
ideal which We have failed to make
our own. but which she most glor-
iously attained.
For where are the poor whom
We have relieved; where are the
sick whom we have tended, where
are the wounds which we have
bound up or the pains
have smoothed away with our own
hands?
With our own hands, That Is
the difference between her life and
ours. What she did she did with
her own hands. What little We
have done we have done through
her. In other words. she was our
substitute. She went 10 the front
and fought our battle. She leaned
over the loathsome wound and
dressed il. she leaned over the
dirty body and washed il, she
drove the fever from the aching
head with her own hands, with her
own gentle touch. her own min
istry OF comfort and healing
We stayed at home-in our clean
houses. snug and comfortable and
satisfied, perhaps even pleased
with ourselves for the stingy pit
lance We gave for her work. How
can we praise her? How can any
words OF OURS ring trne when we
speak of herr How can we in any /
way show that her life Of sacrifice
