    ere long, the poor queen had a very close view of misery's children,
    and she drank to the dregs the cup of life's bitterness. Reason as we
    may, suppress the disagreeable truths of life as we may, suffering
    will find us out, and pierce us to the heart. Indeed, despite our
    dissimulations, we know that life is not a matter of lutes, doves, and
    sunflowers, and at last we have little patience with those who thus
    seek to represent it. We will not have the philosophy which ignores
    suffering; witness the popularity of Schopenhauer. We resent the art
    which ignores sorrow. True art has no pleasure in sin and suffering,
    in torture, horror, and death; but on its palette must lie the sober
    colorings of human life, and so to-day the most popular picture of the
    world is the "Angelus" of Millet. We will not have the literature that
    ignores suffering. "Humanity will look upon nothing else but its old
    sufferings. It loves to see and touch its wounds, even at the risk of
    reopening them. We are not satisfied with poetry unless we find tears

    Watkinson

    Born in 1838

    Biographical Note

    William L. Watkinson, Wesleyan minister, was born at Hull, 1838, was educated privately and rose to eminence as a preacher and writer. The Rev. William Durban calls him “The classic preacher of British Methodism.” “He ranks,” says Dr. Durban, “with Dr. Dallinger and the Rev.
