A WORLD PAGEANT
Sir Robert Home, in an oration on Sir Walter Scott, at Galashiels, said: ! "The world was not all drab, and it was worth while to depict the pageant of it. There were sunshine and hopes and happiness and simple virtues and kindly humours, as well as the darker things of life; and he presented a pattern of existence in which mand and his destiny could be reconpresentation of life, it is that good predominates in the world; that honour and chivalry do not really fail; and that the valiant acceptance of whatever comes is the part at once of courage and of virtue."
