Baltimore hundred side TO the Lewes

the storms the coming winter will
open the mouth again. rs has been
the case many times in the past

STRIKING SIMILARITY
WITH WORDS OF CHRIST
Rev. r. r. OsEood Lectures on Poems
of knbir, Indian Poet of the
Fifteenth Century.

There is a striking similarity between
the poetry OF many Of the ancient
hindoo poets and the sayings OF Christ
and the Apostles. according to Rev.
Ernest Earle OsSood, rector of En-
manuel Episcopal Church, who gave
an extremely interesting talk at tho
Art Club of Richmond yesterday after
noon. The speaker discussed and read
selections from the poems OF Kubir. an
Indian poet of the hftccnth century.
The translation OF these poems, which
has only been published within the
last few months. was made by tho
famous modern Hindoo poet, Rabin-
dranath Tagore. The extreme popu-
larity OF Tagore, in the East as well
as the West. has probably had a great
deal to do with the recent interest
taken in Eastern poetry. This poet
from Bengal. already famous in In
dia. not only for his writings and tho
beauty Of his character and life, but
strange to say, for his personal beauty
as well, was brought into the lime
light winter before last, when he was
awarded the Nobel prize for poetry
AS this prize, which is awarded yearly
amounts to about $4,000. considerable
interest has been taken i'm Tagorc's
work. and many editions OF his poems
and translations have been published
In the last two years
Mr.. Osgood read number of Kabir'S
poems very effectively, pointing out, at
the same time, their similarity to cor
tain passages from the Bible and quota
tons from Tcnnysou. Wordsworth and
many others. One Of the most inter-
estinG quotations he read was the fol-
lowing. which he compared to the pas
sage in the Bible about the Divine
concern over the fall OF a sparrow:
The subtle anklets that ring on
the feet OF an insect arc heard Of
