...with an embittered soul, a keen eye for the grotesque and a liking for the rough & tumble life of taverns and streets. David Blythe painted drunks, loafers, pickpockets, runaway horses, grinning bill-collectors, swaying stagecoaches. With warm colors and swift, vigorous draughtsmanship, he poked fun at such everyday events as the rump-bumping scramble for mail in Post Office (see cut) or a lawyer braying at a gaping jury in A Court Room Scene...

Last week, in a little (140 page) book he told anyone who cared to listen all about the "practical religion" he has created to meet his own everyday needs. "It is book number 54 in my list; and that is a long time to have let God wait." Unsympathetic readers closed No. 54 with the feeling that Author Sinclair had once more had his say but that God was still waiting...
