IN PRAISE OF THE MINORITY
lii the 'Arena'' Gottfried E. Hult has a poem in praise of the minority. It is a sturdy little poem, instinct with the doctrine that the majority are always in the wrong:— Who form this .scorned Minority, uncouth'.' It is the Magi seeking new-born Truth, Whom the Majority, with fear and hate, Is ever plotting to exterminate; The chosen heroes whom wo always find Placed in the van and fighting for mankind ; The sons of God whose blood and tears betlew (lethsemaiios of Progress, who are true In every moral conflict, and who bring The world its blessings through their suffering. A Perfect Lady. —The highest praise which the scullery maid can afford to her mistress.
