OUR ARTIST.
An Answer to his Friends-..EIis Motives
and his Dreams.


EDITORS APPEAL-In answer to last
Sundays APPEAL, and the kind friends
who are interested in my temporary
success, / return a heartfelt gratitude.
In my earnest endeavOr to prosecute
my studies at home and abroad, you all
have cheered me by encouragement that
renders my word-thanks empty sounds.
To your questions regarding home en-
cOuragement of my profession since my
return, if ] have made remarks of dis
appointment, it was Lot from any want
of gratitude, but rather the promptings
of ambition, and a desire to prosecute
works of more elevated character than
have heretofore left my easel. Prac-
ticalIy, art is the ornamental
side of life, as science is its
utilitarian-the one having to do with the
appearance of things, the other with
their substance. The realms of a health
ful fancy are unlimited, but must be
made healthful by proper conditions or
| the noblest thoughts, and sincere en-
deavors. stifle and sicken ere they are
born. The foundation of every inspira-
| ton and noble deed is the love of coun-
| try, home and God. The man who does
not possess this love can never give
birth to God-like creations. 1t is not
! because he loves his birthplace or the
soil that covers the graves of his kim
| dred; tits something more. A proud
ambition for the present and future, to
help enrich the home he loves; con-
| geniality and sympathy with the artist
instinctively draws him into the broad
est channels of his inspiration as the
powerful vocalist becomes more power
! ful by the quiet attention and sympathy
of his audience. The influence of COM
munity upon the mind of the inventive
artist is wonderful in its productive
effects. 1t made Raphael sublimely
beautiful and refined, and Rubens grand
but still coarse and vulgar, both show
! ing the men, manner and times in
which they lived, and the real sympathy
| they gathered from their surroundings.
| Talent is not sufficient TO paint master
piece; culture, refinement, and high
aspirations must attend. Nature can
only supply the truth. Ideality of
conception must be in the soul, and not
made to play the drudge for a scant SUBJ
sistence. The influence of the culture
of the fine arts on communities has be-
come one of no secondary Importance
in every considerable town in Europe,
and Americans travelling there begin
10 HOllCe us Deuenclal elleClSi anu III up
their homes with gems of beauty. Some
few northern cities have already estab-
lished art galleries on the European
plan, which will show its refining infiu-
ence in times present and to come. May
we not hope for some such an institution
in Memphis? We certainly do not lack
numbers, wealth, or taste. To teach
men the appreciation Of the beautiful is
to give sunbeams for clouds, virtue for
vice. CARL GUTHERz.

OTR BIHLE SOCIETY.

Whatever may be said of our want OF
cooperative effort in trade enterprises,
it will never be said in truth that we
lSil of it in religious matters. Our
church organizations are as many and
AS large as those OF the most favored
cities in the country, and our charities
are on a scale commensurate with our
limited field of labor Catholic, Protes-
iSntand jew are alike conspicuous in
this respect. But we think it not invitl-
IOTs TO claim that SURPRISING them all
ia breadth and scope of usefulness
stand the Bethel and the Bible society.
The former rescues the ragged and un-
cared-for children of the city from
The streets, and subjects them to reli-
gious training and the latter enters
through its cOlpOrteurs the abodes of the
indifferent and the ignorant, wrestles
with them IN prayer aud carries to them
the glad tidings Of great joy. Reading
over the reports aud addresses read at
the meeting OF the Bible society, held on
Sunday last, we We're much struck with
the extFnt and character of the good
work done, and really felt a
pride in il, as citizens having
a deep interest in the progress of Mem
l'his. We were pleased to note, too, the
deep aud heartfelt interest taken in this
work by the different evangelical
churches, and rejoiced to know that
promises Of increased effort were made,
proportiOned to the field Of operations
widening every day. There is no book
known TO men that is, or can be, so ef-
fechve as the Bible in laying the founda-
tion for religious growth, and although,
asOneOfthe reverend speakers said, there
is no connection between the church
and the state, yet it concerns Us to know
that the good book which lies at the
very foundation Of our liberties is spread
abroad and has free circulation. We
say this in a broad, liberal and Icatholic
sense, believing that the Bible has done
much to educate men to a sense of per-
sOnal freedom and communal liberty.
We are therefore glad to hear of the sue
cess OF our Bible society. 1t is an aid to
all our religious organizations, and we
hope will continue to prosper and be
fruitful Of good to the people of this city
and the surrounding country.

there Is no room TO question, this able

ing Captain Shirley and his barges to
