Stephen, the well known poet and author, who is a resi;I- «nt of Dundaiave, addressed the North Vancouver kiwanis Club last Tuesday evening in the K. of P. hall. The subject of his lecture was Canadian Literature, on which he is an ackiiowledged authority. Mr. Stephen is a great advocate of Canadian literature for Canadiaiis, who, he said, were liable to be too much influ- enced by the flood of American writings which was poured into our country. At the same time our writers were gradually be- coming known throughout the world. During the evening he gave extracts from a number of poems. The people of West Van- couver should familiarize them- selves with Mr. Stephen's poems and novels, which can be pur- chased from any of the book- stores, and which are on the shelves of the local libraries.
