Victoria Hospital will regret the
loss of a patient who has become
practically the unofficial Poet
Laureate of the institution. Rev.
Albert Hinton, minister of St.
Andrew's United Church, Kippers,.
40 miles north of London, expects
to resume his duties shortly after
an illness of nearly a year.
He became ill as a result of a fall
on ice a year ago last Saturday.
Two days ago, in Victoria Hospital.
he celebrated the anniversary by
rereading a series of poems which
have cheered and inspired other pa-
tients and expressed his thanks to
the staff.
Rev. Mr. Hinton, who at 56 won
the Canadian marathon golf champ-
ionship accepted commissions from
other patients to write their
thoughts into poetry. "I couldn't
remain inactive," he said. In the last
month his pencil has jotted down
150 poems and hymns.
To surgeon Dr. G. A. Ramsay,
who performed !an operation 'on
Brill, he dedicated a special poem
which records his gratitude to Vic-
toria Hospital.
All his verses are in grateful,
joyful vein, although he has been
sick and in pain for a year. Many
of the poems are humorous.
Other poems are inspirational,
philosophical.
A woman lay in a room overlook-
ing the Thames River. She said to a
nurse: "It looks so beautiful,'I wish
I could write a poem about it."
The nurse carried the. message 16
Rev.. NIr. Hinton. Though he couldn't
see the river from his window, he
composed a poem which .described)
the Scene as he was told of it.
In his youth, Rev. Mr. Hinton''
played soccer, cricket and baseball)
for McGill University. At 56 he,
took the Canadian Golf Marathon
with 150 holes, 40 miles of walking.
In 1914 he cycled to KentuakY, cov-
ering .2,500 miles. o
"He has unfailing courage and
good humor," nurses said. "We'll be.
sorry tolose him."
One of poems reads:
Hospitals 'are gracious places:
Deep and broad their ministry;
Dedicated are their .spaces
Serving all humanity.
Science here in fullest measure,
Wears her crown with humblest
pride;
Here, where Duty urates with
Pleasure
Born is Learning sanctified.
Hospitals are kindly places,
Costing much to build and keep
Dedicated are their graces,
They this harvest seek to reap:
Health to sickness. sight to blind-
ness,
To the halt a newer stride.
Here where Skill is wed to Kind-
ness,
Born in Service sanctified.
VARNA
THE TONGUE
"The boneless tongue so small and
weak
Can crush and kill," declared the
Greek.
"The tongue destroys a greater
horde," the Turk asserts, "than
does tire sword."
The Persian proverb wisely saii'h
"A lengthy tongue — an early
death."
Or sometimes takes this turn in-
stead
"Don't let your tongue cut off
your head.".
"The tongue can speak a word
whose speed,"
Says the Chinese, "outstrips the
steed."
