TO AN UNKNOWN FRIEND
Sta,—For many years The Spectator has been sent to me addressed to my old parish of Kincolith, B.C., Canada. Owing to illness I have had to resign my parish and am now retired, living at the address given below. The unknown friend who has so generously given of her means and time can be sure that hes continuous kindness has been sincerely appre- ciated. The Spectator (with The Times perhaps) are mental aristocrats. They do not appeal to the mass of literate people. Here I cannot judge their influence, but I assure you, Sir, that for twenty years it has been a tonic and relish in a situation where I was isolated from communion with people of similar tastes. If this should catch the eye of the friend, he o: she might change the address and continue to oblige.—Yours sincerely, R.R. r New Westminster, B.C., Canada. REV. G. THORNE.
