Moral Aim In Art.

A recent writer in popular period
ical has declared that moral aim is IA
tai to all artistic beauty. This is indeed
the belief of multitudes. Cause for this
opinion is not far to seek. The great
mass of artists in the past, painters,
sculptors, architects and musicians, have
been captivated by the sensuous and
have never escaped from this bondage.
The most of art, even so called Chris
tian art, has been so debased. The i'm
pure and voluptuous have too often been
mistaken for the ideal and beautiful.
Yet these are so far from constituting
the artistic or even being essential to it
that they can well be spared, in fact
must be banished before the truth of art
can be discernod. No real art exists ex-
cept as undcrlaid by a deep moral SEN
timent and purpose. However great the
physical loveliness, however tender the
soft spheric curves and ravishing the
tints, if there be n suggestion Of insin-
certify or moral deficiency the artist has
failed in his task. The judgments OF
time are inexorably moral Lanier has
we'll said, HE who has not yet per-
ceived how artistic beauty and moral
beauty are convergent lines which run
back into a common ideal origin, and
who therefore is not afire with moral
beauty just as with artistic beauty, that
ne, in short, who has not come TO that
stage of quiet and eternal frenzy in
which the beauty of holiness and the
holiness of beauty mean one thing, burn
as one fire, shine as one light within
him, he is not yet the great artist.

FORGOT the violets.

Among the characteristics of Walter
Savage Lander, the famous author,
were his observation-disclosures and his pas

produced them in triumph at his jour

he often handled his fellow men some

felled and even shrank from plucking q

Then, suddenly remembering on what

A very pleasant anecdote il told OF
Professor Anderson by Mr.. Arthur a
Beckett IN his Green Room Recollec-
'iohs' lie says the professor In his
great gun trick used to- give one of the
audience rife, some powder and a
marked bullet The marksman was
then requested to load and prepare to
fire.
Thereupon the professor walked to
the end Of the stage and invited the ri
neman TO shoot him. Then, after the
marksman had fired. he used to produce
the marked bullet, insisting that he
mad caught II OH plate. On one occa-
sion friend of mine. who was an ad :
mirable amateur oonjurer, offered him
self as an assistant He took the gun
and the ammunition and duly loaded.
IL was the cuctom Of the professor TO
give the bullet final tap with his
wand TO see that it was rammed down
properly. and this final tap, 1 have been
told, extracted the bullet This my
friend knew, and when the professor
offered his assistance he politely de.
clined. Anderson did not insist, but
coolly walked 10 the end Of the stage
and called out, Now, sir, take q good
aim at mo and fire. I"
My friend hesitated, as be was well
aware that the gun he was holding was
really loaded. Fire, sir, firep cried
the professor
My friend lowered the weapon, and,
saying he could not let il of, returned
1t to Anderson, who Immediately. un
der pretense Of seeing whether il hat
been properly loaded, extracted the bul
let. Then he gave the gun to some ont
else. But before the rife was fired h,
addressed the audience. Ladies ant
gentlemen" said he, "the person wht
has just resumed his seat knew my trici
and foiled il. II he had fred, this prob
ably would have been my last appear
ance before you. But he hadn't suff
cient nerve 10 shoot me-.
When il dawned upon the house tina
Anderson had risked his life rather thar
confess himself beaten, the applaus
was deafening. Ny friend told me tina
he felt rather small and regretted hi
penchant for practical joking.

A EortIY " ntcil.

"While in Geneva some months ago,
writes a correspondent, II visited the
principal watch works there and as
matter of curiosity asked the manager
what was the highest priced watch that
was made in Geneva. He said that the
most expensive watch turned out IN
Switzerland was worth GAO.
This watch had split second hano
and struck the hours If needed. 1t also
had in il "a tiny musical box which
played three distinct tunes. This WATCH
he said, was the fuest that could be
made, although one ornamented win
diamonds or with gems worked INTO the
case would of course run the PRICE up
into as many thousands rs the purchaser
desired.
"He said there had been one watch
made in his establishment the cases OF
which had been studded with diamonos
and which had cost 81, 400, but 30 lar
"a the watch itself was concerned II
was worth only el40. '-Pearson' q

Topic. Tho Inner Circle Of
Duty and Love.

SCRIPTURE REApISG.-Math. xvii. I; xxvi.
81 John, xviii, IS.
Jesus promised that the Father and
Himself would come and reveal them
selves TO His disciples after His ascension
in manner different from what the
world knew them. Mysterious as this
seemed to the apostles then and to the
unchristian world now, il is still one OF
the facts of Christian experience that
Jesus keeps His word and does abide
with His people. The soul true to duty
and filled with love does find in its de.
votion the presence of spirit Of peace
and satisfaction incomprehensible to
the one whose life is not surrendered to
the direction of the Holy Spirit
AS truly as there is progress from one
degree to another in the secret fraterni-
ties among men, so is there revelation
OF truth upon truth to those who unite
themselves to God. Duty unfolds day
after day; knowledge increases; insight
grows more penetrating; charity broad
ems; zeal glows with deepening fervor !;
grace and gifts multiply till one finds
himself powerful where he was once
weak. rejoicing where he once sorrowed.
leaping and running where he once
stumbled and crept
Too many Christians live in the iwi.
light Of faith and love- They never
seem to get clear visions Of duty or de-
cided assurance of acceptance. Much OF
this is the result of lack of personal con-
secration. No one need expect to climb
with Christ the mountains of Transfg-
uration till they leave the fishing nets
of their own selfish occupation and fol-
low the Master. Nor need they expect
Him to lead them only on the slopes OF
the Detachable mountains. II we follow
Him closely. He-will lead us to share
His Gethsemane agony and the shame
and pain of trial in the palace Of His
enemies. He will ask us to take up the
cross and to know crucifixion with
Him. He will then give us also share
in His resurrection to eternal life and as
cension to divine power and glory. Come
into the inner circle of duty and love.
