AN APPRECIATION.
Mrs. Berryman Thompson's “Book of
Poems nnd Prose, With Favorite Selec
tions,” hns caused a ripple of pleasure
in tlie tranquil lives of her friends, for
tlie edition is limited, ns the dedication
tolls, ‘ ‘ To Those Who Love Me. ’ ’ On ac
count of its local setting and many true
tributes to those wo know and admire, it
possesses especial charm to citizens of
Newnau and surrounding section. It is
heart-life in song, and portrays a high
spirituality, except a few humorous selec
tions which cause a smile to chase away
a tear which the sad sentiments may
bring forth. Her recollections of a
happy childhood is a universal experience
appealing .to all. A poem, “To Lueile,”
is beautiful, ns 1 ‘ ono whoso life lias boon
a joy to me.” A little poem to Mrs.
T. E. Atkinson, when Sunday-school
teachers sent her a blooming azalia, is
sweet and appropriate. Appearing im
mediately after the World War, the book
contains many exalted tributes to tlie
heroes who went out from among us to
cheek the Hun. One in memory of
Chariton Leach is a worthy tribute; and
none excels “Tho Brewster Service
Flag” in sustained patriotism, depicting
the stainless chivalry of Southern and
American valor. Lines to Rev. W. J.
Cotter on his ninetieth birth day, written
eight years ago, is a lofty tribute to true
worth, os are those in memory of Rev.
F, G. Hughes and Absalom Longino. The
memorial to Mr, Y. B, Thompson strikes
an answering chord In the hearts of our
older residents. Those to her own loved
ones are tenderly true, “In Memory of
Mothpr,” another of “My Precious
Boy,” strike the complaining koynote of
her grief, showing that Bhe lias stood
face to faco with sorrow and walked linnd
in hand with griof, but through it all
has been sustained by divine aid, which
has given a soulful spirituality to lior
lifo, that radiates cheer to all who suffer
and mourn. In her papers read bofore
the Missionary Society of tlie Methodist
church she brings a helpful fund of in
formation, gained by extensive reading
and travel 1 . The fine addresses of hor
son, Charles, at from 14 to 10 years old,
are published- In her poetic selections,
“The Chambered Nautilus” easily comes
first. ‘‘Tired Mothers,” nnd “If” are
also fine. Her favorite Bible verses open
up a rich, true religious experience. She
also gives ns favorites some of the
grand old hymns of the church by the
Wesleys, and Fannie Crosby’s “Saved
by Grace,”
Never truo poet lived and sung in vain;
Lost if his name, and withered if his
wreath, .
