FRANCIS Q1JARLES.

(To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR.") Sue—May I point out that in his striking letter on " Trade Union Tyranny " in your issue of August 7th Captain Baird misquotes Francis Quarles's well-known verse? It should be :-

" Our God and soldier we alike adore

When at the brink of ruin—not -before;

After deliverance, both alike requited, Our God's forgotten, and our soldier's slighted."

Wierre Ellroy, par Rinsent, Pas-de-Calais.
