Dr. Ashdown, temporary pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Kensing- ton, at the one hundred and seventy- second anniversary of the birth of the irnmertai bard. The entertain- ment and lecture was given in King George before a deeply attentive audience» Thelearned lecturer div- ided his discourse into four parts, interspersed with vocal and instru- mental Scottish ‘selections by local young ladies. The speaker disclaim- ed, in a very impressive manner, the popular fancy that Burns was un- educated,-he contended that al- though Burns had no amount of technical education, that in the broader sense of the term, he had a most beautiful education-including all the graces with which a human being may be endowed. His love epistlcs are unsurpassed in any time oi- langusge for beauty of sentiment and expression.

His understanding and philosophy of life is read aiid n iated by people of all creeds and generations. 1t is doubtful if he is not even now the most popular.
