AN APPRECIATION

Rev. o. H. L. Cunningham, who for
the past seven years has been pastor
of the Baptist church, leaves next
week for his new field in northwest
Missouri. Pennington will miss this
good man and his family, for he has
made many friends during his stay
here, outside as well as among the
congregation of which he has charge.
With the Ministerial Alliance, of
which he was president, he has been
faithful co-worker. Our relation
ship has been very pleasant through
his entire pastorate. We, therefore,
express our deep regret over his leav-
ing and wish him abundant success in
his new field. The Ministerial ALI
ance Of Pennington commends him
and his good wife to the people of his
new home.
L. R. KING, President.

don't know any more about poetry
than porcupine knows about Para
disc. II you'd stand up and recite
few pages from mail-order catalogue
/ have no doubt you'd put the proper
feeling into 1t, and move your audi
ence to tears, but It's crime for
man like you to mangle a beautiful
poem, full of sentiment and melody.
aThere ought to be a law against
that sort of thing. Some Of the best
poems in the country have been ruined
by common or garden elocutionists.
Nowadays people smile when you

BY people with cracked voices that 1t
has become joke. Yet IL you exam
Inc the poem calmly and impartially
you will find that 1t has great deal
of merit.
an the schools the pupils are per-
mitted to recite some Of our best
poems, and the poems aren't ut for
anything after it. The school author
tiles should prohibit this sort Of thing,
and prepare volume of cheap ashes
tos poetry that is fool proof, that can't
be injured, no matter what you do to
It. There is plenty Of punk poetry In
the world and a collection OF this
stun would serve the schoolboy elo-
cutionists Just as well as the high
class poetry that is so easily spoiled
"When ! went to school, about q
hundred years ago, there was a tall,
freckled, gangling boy, who talked
through his nose, with sort Of whine
that sounded like filing saw. There
was' to be school entertainment, and
this boy was down for a recitation.
THE teacher never asked him what he
was going to recite, but gave him the
right of way. Teachers continue to
make the same mistake, even as we go
to press. They should choose the
poems which are to be butchered to
make a Roman holiday and select
something that won't rip, ravel or run
down at the heel.
"This boy stood up before the school
and droned through Gray's 'Elegy.'
Now, that's one of the best rhymes
ever composed. It was written by
journeyman poet who put In seven
years at 1t, In the time when they had
ten-h6ur days. He wanted to leave
behind him a poem that would stand
the severest tests Of the government
inspectors, and he did. In my opinion
there n nothing better in any Ian
guage. tits rather melancholy, but 1t
has a sort Of doggone soothing quail
ity that is balm to the bruised spirit
of landlord when he finds that the
receipts of his hotel don't equal the
expenses.
"Time and again, when discouraged
and played out, have started to read
that poem, and as soon as get fair
ly into II, I seem to see that blamed
gangiing schoolboy, In his high-water
garments, and hear him droning
through those verses, making a noise
like q .sawmill on O wet day. It's
more than forty years since he made
a violent assault upon the Elegy, but
II seems like yesterday. IT'S the same
way with Hamlet's 'Soliloquy.' Every
time 4 hear or see that gem think Of
a fat youth who recited it In our
school. and then burst into tears.
