In Memory of currie eiImour.

At 10 o'clock Postmaster MacDou- gall, without whom in this place no Burns banquet here would seem com pIete, called the gathering to order and asked the assemblage to stand for minute in silence to the late Currie Gilmour
 Robert Burns Grafton.
 Postmaster MacDougan then ex- tended a cordial welcome to all pres ent and introduced the first speaker, Andrew Mclean, editor of the Brook lyn Citizen. to respond to the toast, The Immortal Memory of Robert Burns
 In a pleasant way MT. Mclean com plimented the city which could show such a fine gathering of men as he saw before him and remarked that while in many places it had been sug- gested this year that Burns banquets be given up and the money devoted to needed charity work, he thought Norwich had chosen the better part for there was no Surer way to secure the cooperation of generous men as to bring them together in the right spirit when they could be depended upon to do their part and no worthy cause would suffer from what had been eXpended> for the expenses of the eve ming.
 As he proceeded in his tribute to the great Scotch bard MT. Mclean WcS .AISAuSHLly dppIduSlSu, SpGdhluS III part as follows:
 Burns was a believer in democracy, in the essential equality of men, in the rights for which the founders of this republic shed their blood. This is proved not only by the tone of his writings as a whole but by his specific references to Washington, whose birthday he rejOiced to celebrate, and by the consequences which he predict ed would follow from the victory of the patriots. We have his letter to a newspaper that of period, looking forward to the time, a hundred years thereafter. when the gratful descend ants of the Revolutionary sires would meet to celebrate the centenary of their triumph His humorous, satir- ical and penetrating allusions to va rious aspects of the campaign sur yive to show how deeply interested he was and how thoroughly he under stood the unfolding drama. It is well within the limits of truth to say that Burns, more clearly than any other European poet recognized the good for humanity that was shown by the hand of valor in the fruitful fields of the new world.
 Appreciated by America. Nor has there been any lack of ap- preciation of these things on the part of the American people. The poetry of i Burns has been manifest alike as a formative influence on the minds ot American statesmen and American

men Of letters. Charles Sumner refer red to this on more than on occasion. Lincoln found himself cheered on with his heavy task by the inspiring mes sages of the Bard, and the less dis tinguished men who have in various ways helped to mold the destiny of this people to whom Burns was a most animating spirit are numbered by the thousands.
 Warm and varied as have been the tributes of the poets of Great Britain and of other lands to the genius of Burns, they are in no respect more ar dent than the praise given on this side of the Atlantic. It is thus, 1 take it. rendered quite unnecessary to enter upon any special exclamation of the in so many of our American cities of statues of Robert Burns
 Devotee of Liberty.
 We are, however, put in the way of seeing Burns in his relations to life everywhere by these references to his sympathy with the master build CTS of the United States. There can be no adequate understanding of Burns the poet in the absence of an understanding of Burns the de- votee of liberty.
 It is from this that nearly all else of value in. his work is unfolded as from a common root. It finds express sion in some of his earliest utterances and runs through them all like q river of crystal through the hills and woods and valleys of his native ayrshire He saw through all familiar things the romance underlying. but it is still more soberly true to say that he saw though all romantic things the false hood underlying. That the rank was but the guinea stamp was what he saw at all times and everywhere un- der both romantic and rude conditions
 Answered Ali Struggling Hearts.
 Out of this state of mind issued, as has already been explained his sym pathy with the American Revolution and subsequent to that his sympathy with the French Revolution, the latter men of influence who would otherwise have helped him in material affairs Tried by the ordinary standards of prudence it was extremely ili-judged for Burns just then to sing of The Tree of Liberty, hail with delight the fall of the BastilIe and out of his scanty earnings send money for the purchase of arms for the revolution ists. But it was imperative that he should do these and similar things since his whole nature would have been outaged ,trampled under foot had he refrained. Even as one moun- tain in the Alps answers to another amid clouds and thunder, the heart o1 Burns of necessity answers to all the brother hearts who were struggling in dark days amid the flashing bolts of tyrany to vindicate the inalienabIe rights of man
 His Varied Genuis.
 Que of the poets sympathy with hu- manitY as a whole grew naturally the extremely varied outf1owings of his genius. In this respect he has no ri- val. 1t is not only that he sees life broadly and sees 1t whole. but he sees with discriminating and artistic eve

CAVE SHOP TALK AT

 Dangers of Satisfaction.

Danser of Satisfaction was the topic upon which Rev. Charles II. Ricketts spoke at the Richmond Radiator plant Thursday at noon in the series con- dHcted under the Y M C. A. Rev 1Er Ricl5etts said it is the tendency .t the average man to go to extremes in ali that he does. This is even so [. 5n the, spiritual life of man. He may let his spiritual fervor carry him so $ lar as to be religiouSly unhinged. : We need to avoid extreme positions 5u all we say and do. To overwork a theory or oyerstate proposition tends co Ia weaken what We are seeking to strengthen. There are also two atti- eL4ies of mind which we are to avoid with equal carefulness; the one is discontentment and the other Is -Self- CusmplacenCy. Circumstances some times make 'disC0ntentnen both req s1uable and natural.
 I wish, however. in this talk to put suecial emphasis on the other extreme that Of self Complacency or satis- faSuOD. There is. of of course. a pleasure in the sense of achievement, but. there is also a danger and that danger is the tendency to paralyze all effort 10 further achievement It is very serious for a man to reach the point where he feels that he cannot fp 2 thing any better than he has done il. It kills all incentive to do rle same thing better and other things better
 We see the same deadening effects iu the 1eld of labor. There is not a workshop on the continent that would not be TToducing better work if there were not so many men who believed that better work was unnecessary.

 Has Had Adequate Rioaraphers.
 I have not entered, nor do I intend
 to enter upon what may be termed the strictly biographical side of Burns.
 It is in itself an extremely interesting
 side and Burns has had the good for
 tune to be upon the whole adequately
 treated by biOgraphers. He has not
 had a Boswell to record his intimate
 conversations and describe him min utely in all his social activities But
 
 ted, nor have the misunderstanding
 and misrepr6sentations of the less en- frightened and the more hostile of his
 contemporaries been suffered to remain
 UnCGrrected. Burns, without intending it. has left Q pOrtraiture of both his external and
 most secret qualities that meets every demand Of d rational curiosity. It Is not left for any enemy to bring an
 indictment against him. He has done
 this with a sharpness and fitness that might satisfy the most malicious of the devils advocates. while over
 against every admission and confession of deviation from the path of rectitude stands the unstudied Outpourings of a heart that never beat untruly to the cause of humanity, never Intentionally wronged man. woman or animal never fiinched from any foe or gloated re- vengefuily over any vanquished ad- versary.
 The gods took care to pour into the 1 veins of this extraordinary being z, most liberal measure of the wine oi ! joy. In no other poet do the fountains l of gladness and sorrow lie closer to- 1 gether. There is. it may be. 9 shadow | close to every bright flash of his wit l but there is just as certainly a sum- 1 beam to irradiate every cloud.
 Better Because Burns Lived. 1 The whole race is better because l Burns lived and sang. His place in 1 the temple of fame cannot be dark | ened. The outlook upon the future | everywhere is brighter because he l lived. Love is purer and sweeter be- l cause of his melodies. The cause of | human brotherhood draws daily in- l spiration from his pages. Liberty of 1 thought and speech and action find in him an invincible ally.
 | Homer, Virgil, Dante, Shakespeare and Milton are not more distinctive 1 ly representative of great movements 1 in the history of humanity than is | Burns. As Homer stands related to
