From Dumfries, via Carlisle and
Penrith, by rail to Keswick,nigh
to Lake Derwentwater and in
view of Mt. Skiddaw, by coach
to Wythburn and Thirlmere, in
sight of Mt. Scaw Fell and Mt.
Ilclyellya to Grasmere, Rydal,
Amblesido and Waterhead, by
steamer across Windermere
Lake by Fewness to Lakeside,
by rail via Ulverston, Carnforth,
Lancaster, Preston, to Liver
pool, by steamer across the
Mersey River to Birkenhead, by
rail to Chester, Birmingham, by
Hattan Junction to Stratford—
cn-Avon, and via Warwick,
Leamington, Banbury, to Ox
ford, via Reading and Windsor
to London (Paddington Station).
We cannot pass from Dumfries
withouc noting the striking con
trast between the circumstances of
Robert Burns and Walter Scott
as the end drew nigh. Of Scott
we have already spoken. As to
Burns, he was very poor; his vol
ume of poems now so greatly
prized by Scotland had netted him
only forty-five dollars; while, just
a day or two before he died, on ac
count of a bill of five pounds, a
merchant threatened to put him
in jail and to turn his wife and
children into the street. It was
the horror of his defenceless situa
tion that really killed this sensitive
soul. How human like that his
last words should be a malediction
on the man who had penned him
that ominous letter! May both be
forgiven! In my companion-in-
travel, Mr. Carroll, I found an ar
dent lovur of Burns, and to him I
am indebted for the gift of a nice
volume ot Burns’ writings.
F'rom Dumfries we proceeded
by rail via Carlisle and Penrith to
Keswick at the head of Derwent
water in the beautiful English
Lake District. Not far from Car
lisle is Ecclefechan (Scotland)
where was born and buried that
eccentric genius, 'Thomas Carlyle.
Crossing the border we passed the
real “Gretna Green” where for
over a century English runaway
couples were married. At Penrith
we saw the rums of old Penrith
Castle, long a favorite residence of
Richard III.
Leaving Dumfries at 4:15 p. m.
and Penrith at 8:40 p. m., still far
from being dark, we arrived at
Keswick at 9:40 p. m., just good
dusk, stopping at the attractive
and roomy Keswick Hotel, which
looks down upon the lovely Vale
and handsome tiwnof Keswick
on the south bank of the Greta,
one of the most charming and re
freshing spots in Great Brittain,
with resident population of near
4,000, a good average ot whom are
industrious and intelligent. It is
romantic for situation, and large
numbers of people gather thither
both for pleasure and instruction,
especially in the latter part of July
for the great "Keswick Conven
tion.'' The village “nestles at the
foot of Skiddaw Mountain and be
side Deiwebtwater, in the Lake
District, famous by association
with the poets of the Lake School,
Coleridge, Wordsworth and South
ey. Even in this charming sec
tion ot country, Keswick’s Vale is
unsurpassed tor picturescpie and
fascinating scenery, and Ruskin
considered the view from Castle-
head as one of tour fine:t in all
Europe.” (A. T. Pierson, L). D)
From 1875 year by year with grow
ing interest and attendance the
Keswick Convention has continued
to meet from summer to summer,
until now not less than 10,000 peo
ple from all over the world meet
here duiing Keswick Week. "The
purpose of our Convention,” they
tell us, "is to bring God’s children
into a state of fitness for service.
We meet together in God’s pres
ence 1 h it He may ‘take us, and
break us, and make us,' and then
use us for His glory. We meet
before Him that He may remove
everything that hinders our spirit
ual growth;lhat He may repair and
replenish that which is feeble and
defective; that He may adjust that
which is dislocated; and having
brought us into a condition ready
to receive, that He may endue us
with power, by filling us with the
Holy Ghost.” "What is the Kes
wick Teaching?” is “a query some
times put to us. ‘Is it anything
new?’ And our reply has always
been, ‘Nothing new; but simply
the emphasizing of a phase of Di
vine Truth, which is too little urg
ed in our ordinary Dulpit ministra
tions—laying special stress on
such momentous doctrines as holi
ness, purity, sanctification, full
surrender, victory over sin, union
with Christ, and, in general, the
privileges, responsibilities, and
possibilities of the Christian life
and service.’ Such is the teaching
which has been uniformly main
tained in the meetings of the Kes
wick Convention. And on these
lines this great gathering is most
assuredly unique. The yearnings
in the hearts ot so many Christian
workers and ministers to come in
to an experience of that ‘abundant
life’ which our Saviour came to
impart, is as intense as ever, and
every year large numbers are
brought into its enjoyment.”
At the low end of the town on a
slight eminence stands Greta Hall,
the residence oi the late poet
Southey, an interesting memorial
in the form of a recumbent marble
figure to the laureate is to be seen
in the Church of St. Kentigern,
his grave being in the churchyard
of this parish church of Great
Crosthwaite. About three miles
from Keswick is the picturesque
Lodore Fall celebrated in such
exaggerated verse by Southey, at
least it seems so to <m American.

At Keswick we delighted in the
moonlight stroll about the grounds
and across the Suspension Bridge
over the Greta. The author next
morning had the pleasure of meet
ing with the former head of the
Convention, Mr. Posilthwaite, F\
R. G, S , and of being taken by
him to the places where the as
semblies are held in large tents,
describing meanwhile the intent
and scope ot the movement, etc.
From Keswick at io:to a. m. we
took a four in hand coach with par
ty to Ambleside. Our way thither
led us in view of Mt. Skiddaw on
to Wythburn (whence is the
easiest ascent to Ml. Hclvellyn, S
miles), there stopping for a while
and visiting one of the smallest
churches in Englan I across from
the inn. To use Hartley Cole
ridge’s words:
“Humble it is, niul meek, nml very low.
And speaks its purpose by a singly bell;
But God Himself, ami Ho alone, can
know
If spiry temples please Him half bo
well.”
By Mt. Scaw l e i and Mt. Ho'
vellyn we betook our way, goil g
rapidly from Ke^wict through the
Vale ot St. John, along the margin
of the now celebrated Thirlmere
(which supplies Manchester with
water), to Grasmere, where the
poet laureate Wm, Wordsworth
lived so long and is buried, bis
grave being marked by a plain up
right stone slab bearing his name
and dates with little ingrained
cross in the angle formed by the
j two slants of top euges to sides.
' In the church is also reared a
memorial tablet to Wordsworth.
He it was who at once inierpretcd
the scents and things of that
vicinity as they have never been
before, adding—
•‘The idea in,
The light that never was on Rea or land,
The coiiHecration,and the poet's dream."
Close by in the same church
yard is the grave of Hartley Cole
ridge who made his home not far
away. On his headstone is a
beautifully chiselled white cross
with these words around the en
closing circle: ‘‘By Thy cross and
passion, good Lord, deliver us.”
We passed the home and favorite
rock-seat of Wordsworth and also
the residence of Coleridge; going
on to Rydal and down the Rothay
Valley to Ambleside, and driving
i i full view of the home of Sir Ed
win Arnold, where he wrote his
so-called "F'lfth Gospel,” and by
the ivy covered residence long
tenanted by Harriet Martineau.
At Ambleside we were but a short
drive from the place where that
high-typed and prolific author,
John Ruskin, "the most eloquent
and original of all writers upon
art,” lived some time and is buried
(Coniston). The chaste and high
tone of Ruskin is nicely exhibited
in the following quotation from
the introductory to his "Seven
Lamps of Architecture”: "Every
action, down even to the drawing
of a line or utterance of a syllable,
is capable ot a peculiar dignity in
the manner of it, which we some
times express by saying it is truly
clone (as a line or tone is true), so
! also it is capable of dignity still
higher in the motive of it. F'or
i there is no actiou so slight, nor so
mean, but it may be done to a
great purpose, and ennobled there
fore; nor is any purpose so great
I but that slight actions may help it,
and may be so done as to help it
much, most especially that chief
I of all purposes, the pleasing of
God. Hence George Herbert —
‘A servant with this oilman
Makes drudgery divine;
Who aweepa a room, aa for the laws,
Makea that and the action fine.’ ”
Ruskin’s motto was "Today”—
no duty must ever be postponed.
This was graven on a stone that
always lay before him on his desk.
From Ambleside we had to go
three quarters of a mile to Water-
h ad,there taking a steamer across
Lake Windermere in view of a
fir e old castle, touching at Bow-
ness, on to Lake Side, and by 4:10
p. m. were on train via Ulverston,
Carnforth, Lancaster and Preston,
bound for the great city of Liver
pool, the second seaport in the
United Kingdom and possessing
the finest docks in the world; ar
riving at 7:40 p. m„ and. after
I leaving the baggage at our hotel,
| took tram tar and elevated road
i from Scaponh Sands to Dingle the
: full length (7 miles) of the docks
both ways, a wonderful sight in* j
deed, returning from Dingle St. to
Wm. Brown St., and thence to the!
J hotel for dinner.
Next morning early after devo-
j tions and breakfast we visited the!
conspicuous ot. George’s Ilall, I
(containing the Assize Couits, an
! immense hall tor meetings and for
concerts), Sir Win. Brown’s Flee
Public Library and Museum, the
Walker Art Gallery, the Alexan
der Theatre, municipal buildings,
Town Hal and the . Exchange,
Custom House and Postoffice, the
Philharmonic Hall (over hue au
ditorium wherein the Pan-Pres-i
byterian Council, to which the au
thor was appointed a Commission
er among others from the Ameri
can Presbytciian church South,
met June 28th to July Cth), the
Myrtle St Baptist Chuich (the
laigesl non-contoimist church in
the city, we were told ), St. Geor
ge’s Presbyterian church, et al
St. Nicholas’ Church is a real an-1
tique, the Botanic Gardens fine,
teflon, Prince's a d Stanley Parks
are well worthy a visit also from;
[ the strangm. "The total quay
space ot the Liverpool docks sev i
eral years ago was 2b miles; of the
basins 8 miles; and the total water
! a r ea ot the docks 389 acres. The
Prince’s Landing Stage, at which
1 passengers from and to America
disembark and depart, is a noble
work It is said thai nearly one
third of the trade of the port is
with the United States. The town
possesses one tenth ot the ship
ping of Great Britain, one third of
the foreign trade, one sixth of the
general commerce, and more than
one half as much trade as the port
of London.” It has over 650,000
inhabitants. This is the city in
which Dr. John Watson (Ian
Maclaren) has been so long a
Presbyterian minister.
From our hotel we took cab and
went to St. George's Landing
Stage 10:30 a. m., there getting
aboard a steamer and sailing
across the Mersey River to Birk
enhead, and thence at 11:15 a. m.
travelling by train to Chester
(with its ancient walls, queer
Rows—for streets, and somewhat
quaint architecture; an old Roman
"Castra” or Camp, and with fea
tures not found in any other city
in the world, it is said; near which
is located Hawarden Castle, the
residence of the late celebrated
statesman and Christian, Wm. E.
Gladstone, and Eaton Hull, the
domain of the Duke of Westmin
ster; and possessing one old house
dated 1652 with the inscription,
"God’s Providence is mine inherit
ance”—to commerate the fact that
this was the only house in the city
to escape the plague). At Ches
ter we changed cars, proceeding
by Wiexham and Shrewsbury, on j
by Wellington (near the famous
| Wrekin Mountain) and Wolver
hampton, through the heart of "the
i Black County,” to Birmingham,
j “the Top Shop of liurope,” so-'
J called.
Thence we went as far as Hat-
tan Junction, where we left the
! main-line for Stratford-on-Avon,
the birthplace and home of the 1
Bard of Avon, William Shake
speare, that “sublime interpreter
of human nature,” as varied and
versatile a literary genius as ever
lived, whose hold on the race in- ;
creases with the passage of the
\ears, as he is better understood.
It should never be forgotten that
his j;ower lies in his character, and
at the base of character lies that;
which is fundamental in every life
—the man’s religion. Shakespeare
was a man with a real religious
basis to his character, and his re
ligion had a definite type. And
Shapespeare’s heart alone gives
the key to Shakespeare’s art; in
other words, the secret of the man
will be found in the soul of the
man as revealed in his writings.
"Many thousands have made their
pilgrimage to the streets where
the Bard of Stratford played as a
boy and walked as a man, doubt
less hoping, as they saw these ex
ternals of his actual life, to come

Aetna Life Insurance Co.
What two distinguished policy-holders think of the
Company.
Americas, Ga.,‘ June 10, 1905.
Mr. W. K, Hawkins, Manager, Atlanta, (in.
Dear Hir: Answering inquiries in yours of the 8th inst., in
regard to my policies in the Aetna Life Insurance Co., I take
great pleasure in advising you as follows:
Policy No. 30,008 for #5,000 was written on my life and de
livered to me May 27, 1807, on the 10 payment plan. All pay
ments of premiums were made promptly, as I have had no pay
merits to make on same since 1870, and it has always been a
matter of great regret to me that I did not have it wriJkn’Tbr
#20,000 instead of #5,000. Wince it was all paid up. { have re
ooived regular yearly dividends, varying in amo^t, but always
very satisfactory. It lias proven to me a very tine investment.
The later policies Nos. 287,170-1 were issued Wopt. | 1900 for
#5,000 each, have been very satisfactory, and have returned to
me very satisfactory dividends.J-Aftfnk quite highly of them,
and the very liberal treatmen,' | have always enjoyed at the
hands of the Aetna Life, hr which company I wish a long life
and prosperous career. | am , with much respect,
Yours very truly,
- Thornton Wheatly.
Hoschton, Ga., June 10, 1905.
Aetna Life Instance Co., Hartford, Conn.
Gentlemen: | am now carrying #00,000 policy in your com
pany. I havecarried previous policies in your company, and
must say that! am very much pleased with all insurance l now
carry, and wfch all policies carried heretofore. Respectfully,
W. P. Delaperriere.
F. M Byant, District Agent of the Aetna. Newnan,
