Milestones
A meeting of the Epworth Wesley Guild on Friday evening of last week was of a literary character. The Rev J Jones presided over a fair attendance. A carefully prepared and interesting paper was contributed by Mr W Buttrick on ‘Nathanial Hawthorne as a writer of short stories’. After a few interesting details respecting the life of this American author, it was pointed out that all his stories were written with the aim of teaching some deep spiritual truths in an attractive form. An epitome of two of his shorter shories was given to show this. The chairman and others made some interesting remarks on the subject at the close.
