Out of Place
A lay friend sends us the words of a rather mawkish, supposedly ' sacred,' and once-popular song. 'Some priests, I understand,' says he, ' disapprove ol its use at Benediction. What thine you of it ?' We think that those ' some priests ' are to be very much commended for their good taste, their reverence, and their sense of the fitness of things. Wo should have no objection to the piece in a drawing-room or on the concert platform. But there's a time and place for everything. ' A cow,' says Dr. Johnson, 'is a very good animal in a field, but we turn her out of a garden.'
