2 v' THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, ' OREGON SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 9, 1924 AXTDVED BOHCH Para 10 rrHllERE Ja an Interesting little story In connection with the poem, ,1 "The Circuit Rider," written by Mrs. J, M. Clifford, and which v& honorable mention in the H. A. Booth contest. Unlike any of the many remaining competitors, Mrs. Clifford did not write the poem in response to the announcement of an award. It was written several months before any such announcement was made. On November 13, U22, Mr. A.' Phlmlster Troctor, the sculptor who created the statue, came to Salem, and, together with Mrs. Proctor, was entertained at tha home of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford. Mr. Ptoctor spoke that evening before the Salem Arts League. At that time the statue of "The Circuit Rider" was in the plaster cast at Palo, California, having not jefcbeea cast Into bronie. When the Proctors returned to California tbyy forwarded to Murray Wade, editor of the Oregon Ma gatine, a picture of the statue, still In plaster, which he used for the cover of thia December, 19J 2, Issue of the Oregon Magazine. It was this cover, coming Into the hands of Mrs. Clifford which inspired her to write the poem which won such recent favorable mention. The lines were . written sometime in January or February of the next year, practically twelve1 , months before, Mrs. Clifford found occasion to present the wprk. The poem follows: , " H V ' i " " THE ClXlCUTD RIDER Out of the squaler of the crowded places Into the sweetly wind-swept open spaces; Out of the highways of an earlier year Into the byways of the Pioneer; ; - Came the Circuit Rider. 'V i Into the lonely, lovely. Western valleys, Over the flower-fringed Willamette prairies; Reading his Bible with a quickening ken, , Reading, and praying for the souls of Men; v -" Journeyed the Circuit Rider.. " S'rong was nis Faith and reverent his Petitions Kind were his ministrations, his monitions. His was a valiant heart, by visions moved ... Dreaming and working for the West he loved . t Passed out the Circuit Rider. . " By ISOBEL GRAY CLIFFORD. COMING TO THE GRAND 1 10 Luther Street, Salem; Oregon.
