a pathetic ring that robbed the words
of their harshness, said: I've got hi

TOPIC OF THE GEEK.
Little Study of the High Uses Of Poetry
and Art.


From the beginning of things, as the first
recorded literature clearly sets forth, poetry
and art have been the mediums by which
men have sought to express the unexpresslbie.
Under strong excitement man naturally drops
into poetry, and employs poetic imagery to
express his thoughts. Under the influence OF
powerful emotions sights and scenes become
photographed upon q memory which only
poetry OF art can hope to depict.
Such natural endowments have their uses,
though not wholly from utilitarian point OF
view The nations which encouraged them
have been the nations which have reached the
highest civilization. The nations which dis
credit them are far down in the barbaric
scale Children are always susceptible to
their Influences 1t is only the man who has
been hardened and brutalized in the scramble
for material things to whom they make no
appeal Beware of the man who don't like
poetry and pictures"
What are the uses of poetry and art? Well,
from utilitarian standpoint they are not
very great, perhaps, and yet in this pictorial
age there may be a question as to tins. Inc
progressive advertiser, at least, has found
practical uses for the poets art and the
painters brush, and has reopened new
avenue of industry to both women and men,
But when it comes to the ineStimable value
of poetry and art in teaching great truths,
which, practically applied, refine, and inspire,
and spirituaiZe, there is no longer any ques-
ton. The Mosaic law forbade the making OF
craven images and likeneSses of things per-
tanning TO heaven and earth. because the ten
dency of man is to worship the creature rather
than the Creator The Hebrew interpreta-
tion of this was that sculpture and painting
was forbidden for any purpose, and for this
reason the Hebrews cannot be traced by
either sculpture or painting; they built no
monuments and carved no inscriptions
But what the Hebrew lacked in art he
made up in poetry, and the Book of Job and
the Psalms of David and his contemporaries
are monuments of inspired speech which
tower above the Pyramids and the sculptors
of the Assyrians Both Hebrew poetry and
Pagan art have survived all other kinds of
history as purveyors OF the spirit OF the times
with which they were connected
Poetry and art take hold of the imagination
as nothing else can do, and herein lies their
ckiefest value. They suggest thought to the
individual and set him to aspire after higher
forms of expression, and this is the value of
all symbols. Give child good picture to
look at, or teach him to sing sweet song,
and you plant bit of heaven in his heart.
Have him memorize stanza or two, and you
give him material enough to bridge the seen
and The unseen.
Whatever widens the gap between man and
the lower order of animals is step IN the
evolution of mind and spirit, through which
alone man holds kinship with the immortals.
These are the uses of poetry and art.
