CHRIST OF THE MODERN IDEAL

IST.
 The new idealism is more personal
 than that of the past ages, hence it has
 come nearer to the ideals of the com
 from the common consciousness by
 drawing pictures in forms which lie be-
 yond the everyday experience It
 paints it's pictures of the Christ in the
 costumes of the boulevard, the work shop and the common highroads of life
 It wishes to convey the idea that the
 Christ is ever present, and centers in every feature of our daily life. It is
 not destructive in tendency, nor antag
 onistic to past conceptions Its evangel- ism is thoroughly democratic, and it's ministry is universal and all-embrac- ing.
 Some of it's evangelists among paint CTS are Uhde, L'Hermitte, Blanche, Jean Beraud, Edelfeldt and a host of others of various nationalities. These men wish to "objectivate the subjective" as G. Kahn said; that is they do not want to paint the objective, the traditional, which is, after all, only nature seen through a temperament, but they wish to project the idea. They would paint the essence of nature or life is it mani fests itself in their "better nature" Take, for example, Uhde's painting, Suffer the Little Children to Come Unto Me" The object is not to illus trate the gospel story or to make it reality. The painters purpose is to ex- tract from the story it's essence or that in which moves us, and to convey it to us in modern symbolism, that is, in surroundings which are familiar to all By kindergarten method the pysch- ology of the picture is laid bare. The lesson is best expressed in Emersons wonderful words, that infancy Is perpetual messiahship." Could the artist prove to the spiritual perception of man in any more emphatic way the reality of the Messiah of life, light and love, who preached good will among men," than by placing the little child as the central figure, and the Messiah as side figure, declaring, 10, l am with you always.
