The Fields of Flanders Where are the Dead There are no Dead. Maeterlinck (The Blue Bird) This is a Canadian sketch by J A Shepperson, emphasizing that high-hope on which the true Culture of the world has been building for twenty centuries. Mankind, outside of Germany, believed that all the doctrines of materialism break down just because they reckon the dead as dead, and take no heed as to what a mans labors here shall make him fitted for when he passes beyond earths Death. Hence when the Britons and Canadians sacrificed their lives by thousands on the Flanders Fields through all the years of the War, their faith was symbolized by Maeterlincks allegory in The Blue Bird. He makes the trembling searchers for the terrible field of death find it beautiful instead; for it blossoms into a field of lilies.

Royal Academy Exhibition - "The Infant Academy", Sir Joshua Reynolds, 1850. London exhibition of painting. 'Sir Joshua Reynolds, the first President of the Royal Academy, is still the most eminent painter that England has as yet produced. The picture...was bequeathed by Sir Joshua to his friend Lord Palmerston...The picture is an admirable example of Sir Joshua's pencil. The grouping is good, the colour warm and harmonious, and the infantine character throughout such as Sir Joshua alone has succeeded in catching. It would sell,we believe, were it brought this week under the hammer
