PAINTING N FBESCO.
With feelings of mingled awe and rev
ence, we stand in contemplation before
some great work OF art, III which the
magic touch OF m8ster-hand has pro-
duccd such marvellous effects OF light and
shade as TO deceive the eye with an APP
pearance of reality. But it Is not this
quality alone that eXcites our admiration
and moves our souls with such strange |
power. we beheld in this poem without
words m embodiment OF some want or
desire of our nature which Is satisfied by
the skillful representation before US !
While our souls drink in the beauty of the I
finished whole, we may not, perhaps, /
have ever paused 10 consider the unre- /
mittiug loig without which such a work !
could not now live 70 exert its powerful !
influence. The beautiful frescoes which /
EN- bellish the walls of our sacred edliices /
will endure for ages potent testimony Of
the God--iyen gift OF art. On soft and /
fusil plaster the master wrought; with /
delicate pigments he developed the sub :
hn.e conceptions which faith, hope or love !
suggested TO his imagination. Gradually /
the yielding surface hardened into eternal /
rock and the dim coloring o. the indis- !
tiucf Outline became, under every stroke /
ot the brush, more true TO iIte-a breath /
ing. moving force.
Like 10 the enduring fresco IS the life /
plan Of every human being. The design /
orr v0cation-shet ched by the loving hand \
OF our Heavenly Father, IS left for US to /
finish as we Will IA early childhood the 4
work began. Who can over-estlmats the /
