knocking at the portals of a home. The
tender sweetness of the face. which is
turned full towards the spectator, is
wonderfully shown. 1t is a face in
which gentleness is emphasized by the
settled melancholy of a imam of soi-
rows and acquainted with grief. 1t Is
pleading, pathetic, but not weak. The
artist has ennobled the features of
Christ SO that the womanly attributes
OF gentleness and sympathy are made
majestic by the strong manly attributes
that save the face from any SuggeS-
ton of effeminacy. The attitude is
dignified and eXpectant, the face calm
ly. seriously, solemnly impressive.
Raphael has given us the beautiful
head of Christ. shown with the crown
of thorns on the brow. 1t is taken
from the picture entitled Carrying of
the Cross" 1t is one of the most pa
thetic of the entire gallery, and the
face is one of the most interesting
studies of all pictures of Christ.
In the original, Raphael depicts
Christ bending beneath the weight of
the heavy wooden cross. The suffer
ing eyes look patiently out from the
shadow of the plated crown of thorns
whose sharp thorns pierce the fore
head. The genius of the artist was
never more strikingly shown than in
the expression of this face of Christ.
Even with the suffering and pain de-
picted on the countenance there is
plainly seen the sympathy of the divine
nature that prompted the utterance
Forgive them, Father, for they know
not what they do
There is no resentment, no trace OF
Indignation. The artist has made the
face one of heavenly beauty and ten
derness, even in the dreadful hour of
the cross.
Among the best known of the Biblical
paintings is Guido RENTS "Ecce
Hcmo." showing Christ in the agonies
Of His last hours, with the crown of
thrns on His head. and dying eyes
turned heavenward. 1t is one of the
most pathetic of all the heads Of
Christ. and is a great favorite with
church people. 1T is doubtful whether
any artist has given us a more beau
tiful conception of Christ than has
Guido Reni in his "Ecce Homo"
A picture that is unique among the
conceptions Of Christ is that of Titan,
called THE TribUta Money" Christ is
here shown with ca::-7 V judicial face,
with a tinge of the saGyoSS that all
artists impart to the Saviors i atures;
it is the face Of one who reasons con-
vincingly, but without a shade of til
umph over the successful turning of
the tables on one who has laid trap.
1t is a strong face, God-like in the
wisdom that it reveals, and conveying
with great skill the expression of
solemn plying rebulke that BELTS the
subject.

Christ at one of the most trying periods

Christ. With the rabble bowling around

ON the program was an instrumental
duet, Ell Captain by Miss Hine and Mr..

with another selection. Miss Nellie

The next number, ''The Star Spangled

sung in her most pleasing manner and
enjoyed by every one. Miss Myrt
