4. LETTER !

Before forget it, | want to call
attention to serious mistake made
by your typesetters in my mothers
poem on Lake Beau Clair in my re-
cent letter on Florida. The first two
lines lines Of Uni the last verse, winch, accord
ing to the carbon copy now in my
desk, were written:
In the radiant west, the magic
glow
Repeats itself in the lake below"
bysome unaccountable twist Of the
hand, the printer made to read:
Repeats itself in the lake Of snow"
This chilly change. 50 foreign to the
subject, mars the piece, and ! hope
those admirers Of my mothers verse
who may have preserved it will make
this correction, SO as to give it the
meaning she gave it. Your typos are
more accurate, as a rule, than those
Of the average country newspaper.

when offered for printing, will be
carefully read in proof. The word

the same poem Of course will be UNDER
stood as a mistake, but these little
errors hurt poem worse than ordi-
nary prose, and should carefully be
avoided.
In recent letter | had something
to say about music, and particularly
songs; subject of the greatest inter-
est to me. A good song is like a
good friend and companion, that stays
with you to the end. and has power
to comfort you in distress. There is
no telling the effect our sacred hymns
have had in spreading healthy ideas
of religion over the world. In Nash

native language; he had heard in the
dark recesses of Turkey, where IT
shone like beacon Of light in the
gloomy desert Of Islamism The hymns
of Wesley and Watts have made mil.
lions better by hearing them, and
have been sung in hundreds Of differ.
