The twenty-third Psalm is the. twenty-third Psalm, or it is nothing. It snys just what it manger it means nothing. The line closing the second tstanza-- (I guess thathr +oteh)---"An brings me home " c"-iertilly “and brings me home and all!” Where is there sense or poetry in that jargon, except, possibly after a St. Andrew's night celebration.' In the next verse we can pass over the "Fin' I ken lie is rear," but his "muekle crook" is a staggerer that will knock all Canadian Seotchmen out of business. And then when "wolves and dogs' are brought in to intensify the situation, the Scotch versionist must have boon fairly driven to his wits' ends to horrify this other- wise magnificent theme. Wolves and does prowling about through the beau- tiful sentiment of the twenty-third Psalm ought to frighten a Seotehmun or anyone else. When I noticed these verses I re- ferred them to Rev. w.
