The fraternal bonds OF our Order are
such that we feel that no further aSSur-
ance is required from us as comrades of
our noble institution TO convince you that
the same flame of patriotism that burned
within our bosoms in 1861 and 90 burns
as brightly as ever; and it was with
feelings of great regret that we realized
that the hand of Father Time" had
dealt with us to the extent that we were
deprived of the pleasant duty of following
the old flag through the last campaign
and again witnessing the trlumphs OF
Liberty over Oppression.
We shall ever cherish fond Temem-
brance of Phil Sheridan Post, and now
that the annexation OF our little Island
Republic to the Mother County is ac-
omplished, and our noble flag floats so
pfotectingly over us, never again 10 re
hauled down, we feel that the last INK Is
forged to bind us all more strongly III the
bonds OF Friendship, Charity and Loyalty,
until called to answer the last roll-caii.
Hoping that Phil Sheridan Post may
prosper, and that we may all ENJOY The
liberty which the Stars and Stripes as
sures US, we greet you with our warmest
Aloha.

The Dresden Galle-y-Raphael, Rembrandt,

Raphael's Madonna rises peerless and radi-
ant above all other works of art. 1t seems
TO stand out from the canvas, and the flesh
tints glow with the warmth and hue of life.
The other figures are beautiful, but subordi-
nate TO the central one, that is like living
breathing, swayng, trembling woman.
People stand before this masterpiece SPELL
bound. They speak in whispers, as if before
a holy shrine. They marvel about what sort
of man Raphael was, man who could
enrich and dover the world with such an i'm
mortal creation; this psychologist, who made
effectively his keen, penetrating analysis of
the subjective and terrestrial emotions; this
painter who projected his ideal of gracious
womanhood-in relief on canvas.
1t does not seem merely a picture-an
emanation from the brain, telegraphed to the
hands that held the brush and colors. this
delicate incarnation, that long ago bossomed
into tints soft and delicate as the petals of
flowers. Men and women 90 away from

The greatest painters Of the world have
vanished from the face of the earth, but their
work lives The man who has written a
great poem that will be a reality when he
is shadow, or painted on canvas his con-
ception of the highest beauty, left grand
heritage 10 the world.
The two paintings in the Antwerp Cathe-
dral, Rubens's Elevation OF the Cross
and = Descent from the Cross" are, next TO
the Sistine Madonna the finest in the
world. In the first painting the Saviour has
been nailed TO the Cross, which the Roman
soldiers are raising into position. The form
is that Of living, breathing man. The
hands and feet are blOod-stained, and the
delicate body droops as it hangs motionless
on the Cross. Bat the look on the calm face
is one of life, instead of death; of victory,
instead of defeat. The upturned blue eyes
have a look OF celestial wonder in their clear
depths.
In the descent from the Cross |" the
agony and pain is over. The form of the
Saviour is rigid, and has the blue tinge Of
death. There Is death in the sinking figure
of the victim Of the Worlds Great Tragedy.
In this masterpiece of a painters art the
death of the Saviour of the world is brought
as a sorrowini object lesson before the ewes
and hearts of men. Rousseau said THAT
Socrates died like philosopher, but Jesus
Christ like a God" The painting is full of
dramatic power, representing the closing
scenes in the awful tragedy of the death Of
the Son Of God.
During the medieval times the highest art
in painting was devoted 10 religious subjects
Fra Angelica was an inspired monk who
spent his time between praying and painting
The Virgin was the embodiment and ideal of
womanly purity and beauty. Each painter
had his own conception of her charms, the
expression OF the dawniDg and awakening
Of the purest, truest loye-that of a mother
for her child. Rubens's first wife was his
model. He knew no higher standard of
womanhood. But if the 'Sistine Madonna T"
is an embodiment of the purest type of iemi-
nine beauty, there are others in the European
galleries that do not appeal to ones ideas of
reverence any more than the Greek statues OF
Venus, the purely physical type of beauty.
The Leee Homos rarely satisfy. 1t must
have been too hard task for a painter TO
portray the gentleness and love and sorrow of
the Christ OF the New Testament.
