THOUGHTS OF THE TIMES
COMPARISONS. "When a New Zealander moved! abroad and saw the Swiss Alps or therugged beauty of the Scottish heightsthe first thought was that he could \ match it all in his own country with Mount Cook and the Eranz Josef Glacier, and he was quite right. iiut that was not all the story. He would c oito to realise in the English countryside that the word beauty had many meanings. The peace and tranquillity inspired a 'different emotion. "When one moved about England for the first time one learned that Nature really did wear that appearance of refined delicacy with which famous landscapo artists had made us familiar. They really existed in fact, and were not merely the painters’ imagination. If we had a great deal to leai n or the beauty of the works of God, we had also everything to learn of tlie beauty of tlie works of man. —J. B. Callan, Dunedin.
