...Billy" Sunday has come to town. A Great deal has been written about this remarkable man. That he is remarkable is 4evidenced by the widely contrary opinions concerning him. Some of the most orthodox and sincere Christians believe his work worse that useless. A great many atheists and kindred folk who normally look upon all religious impulse as folly, consider Mr. Sunday's work constructive because it awakens a dormant moral sense in thousands.

Mr. Howe's "Morning Song" fills two Sapphic stanzas, each of which has in the third verse one more syllable than the orthodox number. Mr. Howe follows the rhythm of the Latin Sapphic scanned rather than the rhythm of the Latin Sapphic merely read--the rhythm of Swinburne rather than of Cowper. Also he introduces rhyme. In substance the song is less interesting...
