We have on our desk a volume of selected poems entitled “Morning Glories,” compiled by Mrs. Thomas B. Upchurch of Raeford, N.C. The compiler has shown good taste and rare appreciation of what is fine in poetry by her selections. There are few poems from the noted writers, but numerous gems selected, not for the names of the authors, but for the true merit they possess.
The book of 125 pages is a model of typography and press work and was printed by the press of the Oxford Orphanage. Mrs. Upchurch has compiled and published “Morning Glories” solely for benevolent purposes, preferably orphanages. She does not desire any gain for herself, as all profit will go to worthy causes.
Readers who like poems as “The House by the Side of the Road” and “Crossing the Bar” will find “Morning Glories” a delightful book for the library.
