The happiest painting OF the past years
that has been made is perhaps, that Of
Hoffman, of the boy Christ disputing with
the doctors. But it is not a great work
OF art and 1t is not true to the conditions
that existed at that time, nor In costume

is an age that demands truth it is no
longer satisfied with flowing draperies and
trains Of following angels and stage scenery
and count It a happy thing that the age
demands not only truth but character; It
shows that man is coming into closer re-
lationship with the Author OF all truth
God Himself. When we think, for instance,
Of the Child being born in the stable in
Bethlehem, the Anglo-Saxon imagination
thinks OF such a stable as we see here-on
the east or west side-apart from the dwell
ing and surrounded by coarse attendants
and by the accessories which go to make up
the. modern stable.
But in the east, at that time, the stable
was merely a division or a portion of the
large khan, or inn, where the traveller
stopped for rest and refreshment, and
which one sees in Italy and other countries
today. A large space is inclosed by wall,
with huge gates for an entrance, which are
shut at night to keep out marauders and
brigands. The divisions between the trav-
eler and his camel or donkey are of a
fragile nature.
One can see such khan on the road from
Jericho to Jerusalem, known as the Inn OF
the Good Samaritan where, in truth, re
freshment is furnished to man and beast
And no doubt the spot that is pointed out
in the Church OF the Nativity was merely
a portion or a part OF a khan, where tht
traveller rested his horse or donkey. anC

Pope LeO's Gift n Wonderful Picture.
Pope Leo XIII gave to that simple chapel,
presided over by the Capuchin monks, a
wonderful picture-to the authors thinking
the most remarkable one and the most ac-
curate delineation of the subject that has
been produced in modern times. Reproduc-
tion can give only faint idea of it's beauty
and color and meaning. In the center
stands the Christ Child, with face turned
toward the spectator, working intently with
a ground plane upon what appears to be a
cross. We know that the cross dates back
at least 5000 years B. c., to the Babylonian
and Egyptian kings. At first it meant
pOwer-since the days of the crucitixion IL
has come to mean sacrifice.
There, then, is the Christ Child at work.
On the right stands his father, looking in
tently at the work, and the artist has fore
shadowed in a most happy way the Christ
that is to be-that is, we see that the head
of the father is like the heads of the Christ
that have come down to us through the
ages-not the conventional head, but the
traditional head. and the head that one
sees now and again on the high roads of
Galilee today. The father is intent upon

ment, sits Mary, the mother, with the hand
loom arrested for the moment, gazing in
tently upon her child, her heart bent upon
her son, dreaming half sadly of His future,
with subconscous thought possessing her
or foreboding of the sacrifice and i'll that
must betide her child.
The artist has made a most happy con-
trast between the mother and the father.
On the ground are some doves picking up
bits OF straw and the wheat that has fallen
from the manger close at hand. where the
donkey is kept which was necessary for
any man who made journeys over the hills
to Samara, or on to Jerusalem, or down to
the Great Plain and back again.
The simple-hearted monk permitted me
to sit there quietly and study this picture
and seemed surprised that | cared to linger
where the average traveller glanced about,
consulted his Baedeker and moved on. The
artist had come down to Nazareth, had
walked over its hills, had watched the
children at their play or following the
sheep patiently as they grazed from
hillock to hilltop. Renan and a few German
critics have done their utmost to discredit
the historical accuracy of these spots that
tradition has held to as the birthplace. the
workshop and the place of cruciixion of the
Master but when all is told they only give
you their own opinion or what NJ. Renan

place where the Boy Christ pushed His

stood silently regarding the work and
measuring the ability OF his Son to follow

We know very little from history, from
written facts OF that life after birth in the
hilsides of Bethlehem, of the flight into
Egypt and of the return to the beautiful
city that looks out upon the plain of Es-
draelon, which for centuries has been the
granary of Palestine. But, as Aristotle
somewhere says, Poetry is truer than his
tory" and when one visits the spot and Is
taken possession OF by the Christ that is
still alive in the Holy Land, one may per-
haps divine thoughts of that life which are
closer to reality than IL some historians
like Josephus and others had jotted them
down from the standpoint Of the Roman or
Greek world.
You must watch the little boys at their

children.
The poem hangs on the berry bush
When comes the poets eye,
And the whole street is one masquerade,
When Shakespeare passes by.
Every child life is miraculous IL we have
the insight to see it. That He was a re-
markable child cannot be doubted and yet
we must remember that at the age of IL in
the east a girl is given in marriage and a
boy is often as far developed as a man of
20 in our land. He does not have to con-
tend with the physical sciences; he does not
have thrust upon him books and pamphlets
without number, to confuse and distract
his plain and simple thinking. Christ was
educated as were all the children of His
time. first by the lovely and lowly Mary,
His mother, a beautiful type of the pures,
and most gentle womanhood, and a type
that the Roman church has used to dignity
woman, so that her place has risen from
that OF a slave or toy to that Of a COM
panion and helpmate of man. His father
was a man of more than ordinary ability.
Tradition, which lives for thousands OF
years in the east, represents him as a seri-
Gus, hardworking man, whose interest was
largely in his workbench and in develop
ing his children to the best OF his ability.
Workshop of Joseph.
But to return to this simple work
shop, where the Christ Child spent
many hours of His day, when His
brothers were tending the sheep
upon the hillside. He brought his wonder
full creative ability to bear upon the simple
workmanship which was produced by Jo>
seph, His father. In those days the craft OF
the carpenter was very different from what
il is today. Today He would be called a
master workman, for then men cared for
the impress OF the hand upon the work, and
each carpenter could turn out all the de-
tails OF the house and bring to his work
the art and training that were necessary to
lift him above a mere Bedouin herdsman or
soldier in the armies of Rome.
There is one picture here represented, ex-
ecuted by Murillo, who never visited the
Holy Land, but who, through his creative
genius, and that divine idealism which is
the artists birthright, gave to it that won
derfn touch which must make II live for
ever. But the face is not intense or for
chile enough. The boys of Nazareth have
keen, sharp faces, deep set eyes. smooth
orows, black or blond and reddish hair, and
are quick to learn any word that may serve
them in the direction OF their work The
frequent illusions in the New Testament
to the shepherd and his sheep go to prove
that the Master was familiar with every
detail Of the shepherds life, and one can
scarcely understand that unless he climbs
over the hills with their olive trees and
sycamores, and here and there a sacred
grove and watches some boy OF 10 or l2
call to his sheep and sees them turn sud
denly from their grazing and follow him, or
dart in another direction with the precision
