At twenty, tie went' to London, Eng-
land to studylaw at the Middle Tem-
plc, and, soon after published a trans-
lation from time Greek of Anacreon,
of which .his patron, Earl Moira per-
suaded the Prince Regent to accept
the dedication. Two years later appear-
ed a number of fanciful and exceed-
ingly clever poems over the signature
of Thomas. Little, Unhappily, these
poems were •offensive in their immor-
ality. An accident disclosed that they
were the work of Thomas Moore, by
this time: popular in social circles. Ev-
en in that age, his fame would, no
doubt, have suffered from the dis-
closure,but for the favor of influen-
tial friends who secured hint a •Gov-
ernriient appointment away from Eng-
land in Barbados.
The lack of moral responsibility
ruined his " chances, however. Instead
of attending to the, duties of his im-
port:ant position, he entrusted them: to
a deputy, while he amused himself: by
travelling: in the United States and
Canada.
was while visiting military of-
ficers stationed in. Montreal, that tie
was taken to Ste. Anne de Bellevue
-at the head of Lake St. Louis, where
the Ottawa flows in to join the St.
Lawrence, and was inspired to write
the "Canadian Boat Song" This, song
well known from its refrain:
"Row brothers, row,
The stream runs fast,
The rapids are near.
And the daylight's past."
did duty for some years as the na-
tional song of Canada.
Moore's deputy was a rascal, and
defrauded the British Government of
large.sums of money which Moore had
to make up, living abroad for some
years after he lost his appointment, to
avoid arrest for debt. His friends' a-
gain intervened, however, after a time •
and he returned to England and set
himself to writing of political satires.
The 'celebrated critic, Lord 1rarices
Jeffrey took him severely to task for
some of his works and Moore . chall-
enged him to a duel, which, however
resulted harnticssly,!It'wvas about this
time that Lord Byron, the poet, and
Moore became great friends, and it
fell to. Moore's lot to write the bi-
ography of that remarkable man.
At the request of his publishers,
Moore retired intoo seclusion in 1814
to prepare himself for, the composi-
tion of a poem on an Eastern subject.
Three ' years later he produced the
beautiful work "Lalia Roolch deal-
ing with Cashmere with all the 'fidel-
ity of one, who had lived there for
most of his life.
With Samuel Rogers, the banker-
poet, an accomplished gentleman of
very high standing,' and Lord John
Russell, afterwards the famous states-
mnan, Thomas Moore, travelled ex-
ptensively in,Europe.and produced sev
eral biographies and poetical' books
of sterling value. He died after sever-
al years of neglect in 1852. TIis life
was sympathetically written by his
constant friend, Lord John Russell.
His wonderful ability as 'a poet was
displayed,' like that of Lord Byron, not
only in secular but also in sacred po-
etry.In 1816 he published a volume
of Sacred Songs, thirty-two in all, set
to .popular airs collected from several
nations. At least twelve of these have
been used as hymns,,, Fifty' years ago
"Sound the Loud Trimbel O'r Egypt's
Dark Sea" was well known as a Sun-
day song, as,was also "The Turf Shall
Be My Fragrant Shrine". Both ap-
pear in some hymnals to this day.
Best ''• known . of hymns made from
Thomas Moore's poems are, however
the stately "Thou art, 0 God 'the Life
and Light," and the one quoted above
somewhat altered by the U. S. 'com-
pilers T. Hastings and Lowell Mason
for their "Spiritual Songs" published
in 1831. The very sweet third verse

has 't eore of Hastings than of Moore
in it, but the whole hyniie is tilling
and good: It is, perhaps better suited
to private than to public devotion,
There was, xlo doubt, a strain, of,
deep religious sentiment in the genial
talented and affectionate Irish^ poet:
His Irikh. songs are especially dear to
his Countrymen, often Containing ser-
ious, if not actually mournful ideas;
Wei may be permitted to regret that
lie never gave us the uplifting useful
hymn his genius could probably have
written We can, on th'e other hand,
rejoice that a life which began some-
what inauspiciously should have been
spared to realize that the love of the
King of heaven'. can -heal every. sor-
row, and grant forgiveness to every
penitent one who. Will :fervently kneel
at His mercy -seat.
The tune "Consolation" is adapted
from an air composed" by Samuel
Webbe, an English organist, who is
now remembered chiefly as a writer
of partsongs and glees.'' He died in
18i6 at the age of seventy-six.

The .original from which this affect-
ing little poem was made carte from a
ti l,,_itcartvl, soruewhat frivolous lit-
tle poet, a social favorite, contempor-
ary and companion of Lord Byron,
Thomas Moore by name.
There.. was very slight prospect of
hyniris emanating from Moore in his
early years. Born in Dublin in 177,
the euti of a well-to-do tradesman, he
was carefully educated at a private
school, 0101 although proniinally a
'Roman Catholic, spent several Lcrnts
at Trinity College, Dublin, He wrote
poeliy, sparkling, tender, licentious by
turn, and by his personal charm made
his way into good society before he

IVIUST BE EXAMINED
Several applicants for driver's per-
mits at the Board of Trade rooms at
Stratford, were somewhat crestfallen
when they were told that after mid,
night Thursday' night anyone apply-
ing for, a permit would have to un-
dergo an examination. Announce'
ntent was made several days ago that
the Government felt that five months
was sufficient time for all drivers to
get their licenses and that after Nov.
3o the attitude would' be that all driv-
ers applying for permits would be new
drivers and as such should be exam -
hied as to their ability to drive. This
examination costs $1 and means that
to get a driver's permit now costs
$2 instead of $z, Word has been re-
ceived that it is expected, that the new
1928 license markers will be ready
about the 15th of the month. No an-
nouncement has been made about
how much the fees are to be cut, if
any, but some word will probably be
forthcoming in the next few days. •
