' Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Poet Laur-
eate, was the last of the great poets
whose writings are reckoned to form
grart of Britain's proudest historical
possessions. We have had many, stri-
king poems Written since his day,
some by Bridge, Kipling+, Hardy,;
Francis Thompson and others includ-
ing talented ladies, which will, be
treasured by future generations. But
since Tennyson there has arisen no
poet with the prophetic gift as he
had it, none with the substaining
power to write for a long period of
life so abundantly and well, none able
with pen, to make men and women' of
the day immortal as he did with
Queen Victoria, the Duke: of Welling-
ton and Arthur Hallam. It will nev-
er be possible to write a history of
English literature without much men-
tioning of Lord Tennyson.
It is somewhat curious that so great
and seriously minded a poet never set
about writing a hymn! He could in-
cite to loyalty to sovereign and coun-
try so royally well! His mind was
so prompt and sureto get at the heart
of scientific discovery as his grasp of.
Darwin's then new theory of evolu-
tion showed in his "In Memoriam."
He saw. so clearly the trend of the.
times, and the need of dependence
tosamana
upon the guidance of a Higher Pow-
er, He surely could have written
sueh glorious hymns, had he set itir!1
self to do, so,
Bits of his irnlnortal "In Memor-
iam," the nobles,( monument to a de-
parted friend ever erected by tool or
pen, like "Strong Son of God, im-
mortal.
and
i
"Ring out wild
Love,".
bells," have crept into some. of the
hymnbooks, as has his sad little poem,
"Too late, too late, ye cannot enter
now" and one or two other little sets
of stanzas: But as Tennyson would
be the first to tell us, these are not
hymns—songs of praise or prayer to
God -in' any real sense, pious and
pretty though they certainly are.
Some, who knew Tennyson's type
of a British titan, inay agree with the
writer that the loss of the hymns
he aright so well have written is larg-
ely due to his having been born and
brought up in his father's—the Rev.
G. C. Tennyson's—Rectory at Som-
ersby, Lincolnshire, England. There
he would learn instinctively that "ev-
ery man in his own order" should •be
the rule in life now as well as at the
Resurrection. He night in his writ-
ing allude to . sacred, churchly things,
writing sacred things must be left to
those who had \that task ' laid upon.
thele. Anything pertaining to wor-
ship or church services, belonged to
WINOHAIK 4avANC4-TIMES
the ministerial office, or at least to
those who always bore the odor of
sanctity. He was the poet of every
day life, essentially, emphatically one
of the laity, It was not his business
to wander out of .that groove. Al-
ways a religious titan, he would not
dare to offer anything of his to be
used where the inspired melody of
the ancient Psalms were sung,, or
where the overwhelming poetry of the
prophets and other sacred writers
were read!
Traces of such attributes of mind
are to, beseen in the "Poems by Two
Brothers," the little volume of boyish
poetical writing he published in con-
junction with his brother, the Rev: C,
Tennyson -Turner, as well as in the
restraint evident in his wonderful
play Thomas A'Becket, which the
celebrated Henry Irving barely con-
cluded with its pathetic; "Into Thy
hands! Into Thy hands," before the
actor surrendered his soul into his
Redeemer's care.
Alfred Tennyson was born in 1809,
and educated at Cambridge Univer-
sity. His poetic talents soon wen
him distinction, though with the gen-
eral public it was not until his simpler
poems "The Queen of the May,"
"Charge of the Light Brigade," "Ode
on the Death of the Duke of Welling-
ton," "Enoch Arden," and later on
his "Idyls of the King" appeared, that
he .became universally popular.
In 1805 Queen Victoria who had d
sincere appreciation of his abilities,
appointed him Poet Laureate, and
magnficenti'y he filled that office, He
refused `promotion more than once,
but in 18$1 was elevated to the House
of Lords.
He confirmed his writing almost up
to the end which came to him, in 1890
one of the last of his poems being.
"Sunset and Evening Star," wiitlien
in 1889 which he entreated his son
Hallam, in whose arms he died, to
have printed always at the end of
every edition of his poems, It was a
profession of faith in the eternity of
life and the salvation by Jesus Christ,
the Pilot of his mortal life's voyage.
If not a -hymn it is worthy of a place
in otir modern hymnals ainong the
sacred songs which tend to uplift the
heart away from earth to the region
of eternal things.

Fined $5,000 and Costs
A fine of $5,000 and costs were irxr-
posed by Magistrate Reid Thursday
afternoon, August 29th, on the Slem-
an Springbank Brewery Co., 'Limited,
of Guelph, for selling liquor in the
Township of Ashfield, contrary to
section 72 (1) of the Liquor, Control
Act. The evidence of Samuel_ Glazier
showed that he had an agreement
with the Brewing Company for a
commission of 25 cents a case for li-
quor for which he secured orders
from holders of permits. Under the
agreement he went into Ashfield and
canvassed permit holders and secur-
ed two orders, :which were filled. J.
C. Makins, K.C., of Stratford, conduc-
ted the prosecution, and D. P. Mon-
roe, of Guelph, acted for the 'defend-
ant company. The argument. for the
defence was that the sale was made
at the brewery and they claimed that
no commission' was paid Glazier for
the sale, but that he was the agent
of the purchaser. The Magistrate.
held, however, that Glazier was the
agent of the vendor and imposed the
fine set by the statute, to which costs,'
amo&.ititing to $84.10, were added. Mr.
Norman Lang,: secretary -treasurer of
the company was there as a witness
for his company.
