Before one of the largest gatherings of
the mems club since its organization,
City Clerk James Mackay gave an inter
esting informal talk on Robert Burns in
the First Presbyterian church last even
ing. While the speaker was giving an
intimate, personal picture of the great
Scottish bard the audience listened most
attentively and again when he enter
tanned his hearers with excerpts from
Burns works the attention was undivid-
ed Mr.. Mackay concerned himself large
ly with the biography of Burns and gave
his own impressions of how the earlier
influences of his life had a marked bear
ing on his career in after years. The
speaker gave it as his opinion that Burns
is to be classed with the greatest singers
in the history of poesy, albeit it re-
NAMED for posterity to realize his real
worth in the field of letters. Burns died
in poverty, but his works are immortal.
In closing, the speaker recied portions
of "Tam o. Shanter." "Ode to James
Smith" "The Cotter's Saturday Night"
and other poems Refreshments of cof-
fee and doughnuts were served after the
