TTISITORS to the seaside during the V summer may have noticed on the sands a crowd of young people assembled in a miniature sand cathedral, singing choruses and listening to addresses by speakers often garbed in most unclerical attire. This is one side of the work of the Children's Special Service Mission, which exists to show children that religion is no gloomy ' wet blanket' business, but the best way in the world of getting real happiness.
GRAY'S Elegy is perhaps the most famous poem in the English language. Certainly it has given more quotations to the vocabulary of the average educated man than any other poem ; its flowing and felicitous diction falls naturally into phrases easy to remember and apt to apply. Were it not for the Elegy, Gray might be no better known nowadays than his contemporary, William Collins , who wrote some fine odea in the Indian Summer of classicism, before the romantic reaction set in. His ' Ode to Evening' will form, with the Elegy, the matter of the reading this afternoon.
