Excerpt from Poems
To appreciate a book at its real value, whether great or small, some knowledge of the author is a primal necessity - and to know a man in any real sense we must have some such output of his life as the book he writes or some other work of his hand in which character is revealed. In this case we are fortunate in having substantial acquaintance with the man socially as also through his verses, which have graced our columns from time to time during the past several years. When his first modest offering reached our desk we were so impressed with the indications of unusual talent revealed in the lines, that we wrote him, with approval of his work and encouragement to persevere, and we are glad to see his genius bear ing fruit in this measure.
Many of these poems have already won the admiration of the public, with their delicate touches of sarcasm, always softened and mellowed by a kindly spirit. As also by the upward pointing of every thought. The volume contains no line inimical to the purest spirituality and no senti ment unworthy of the noblest life.
The book is worthy of its author and the author is worthy of every honor due to one who, bravely standing in his lot has given the strength of his life in service to God and man.
