90 God, how wonderfu1and how mani
fold are Thy works; in wisdom has Thou
made them ALL" Allow me, ifyou
please, word in honor of Him who
mOveth and cOntroleth all things, and
without Him all is void. Behold the
heavens above: how wonderful the &C.
lestial bodies, millions and millions of
miles from earth, yet He governs,
nourishes and controls it to the use
fulneSs of man.
Beauty. Beauty dates back to the
creation of Gods works. Everything
created bears beauty, which alone
belongs to Him who in wisdom and
goodness hath created it. When our
the celestial worlds that move and roll
about in their respective orbits and
each one'performing it's missions which
was decreed to it in the beginning of
time. What can be more beautiful?
Behold the seven cOlOred rainbow, or
Gods promise as it stretches itself
across the heavens in semicircle; here
beauty again meets the appreciation of
our eyes and also declared to us the
promise of Him, who didst say that the
world should never again be deluged.
The moving and changing clouds filled
with water that floats above our heads
ready at Gods bidding to open up
their buckets and drink Mother Earth
cloud is emblematical Of beauty and
goodness. What can be more beauti.
full as our eyes behold and our finite
minds try to conceive the magnanimity
and glory of the beautiful heavens
above? Let us reconcile ourselves that
we are finite, almost nonentity when
compared with the infinite, Omnicient
and omnipresent Being who createth,
cOntroleth and wOrketh all things to
the usefulness and glory of man. The
last and greatest and nobIest work OF
the Almighty was the creation of man.
Behold him in all the attributeSwhich
belong to; which characterize and
symbolizes man in the imagery and
likeness of God.
How near and dear we are to God: to
take his image and likeness.
Now these thoughts bring us to re-
fleet and say: What right has man or
woman to deface the temple of the
Holy Ghost? What is the ear? Why,
it is the whispering gallery of the hu.
man soul. What is the eye? 1t is the
observatory God constructed, it's tele
scope, sweeping the heavens. So won.
derful are the budies that God names
His own attributes after different
parts of them. His Omnicience, it is
Gods eye. His Omnipresence, it is
Gods ear. His Omnipotence, it is
Gods arm. The upholstering of the
midnight heavens with all their beau
ty, it is the work of Gods fingers. His
life giving power, or the Son, it is the
breath of the Almighty. Look at all
these various attributes and behold
the unexplained and unfathomable
beauty that lies buried within every
feature of which the human structure
consists of.
Beauty, o yes, Gods beauty is found
in all His works. 1t exists in all things,
in the earth, under the earth and
above the earth. 1t reaches from
the earth to the most distant stars,
millions and millions of miles, and
through the realms of time and eter-
nitv.

THE HOME CIRCLE.
THE ARRIVAL OF ART AMI
BEAUTY,
BY F. E. STURG ES, BETHEL, CONN

RY F. E. sTURGEs, BETHEL, CONN.
l will speak of art first. Art Spranp
into existance thousands of years ago
it's primitive origin beginning with
Adam and Eve. Without tools to aid
and without pattern or guide they
manifested a degree of art. God en-
dOwed them with ingenuity-with
reason-with strength and power and
a mind susceptible of development.
And art has been increasing and null
tiplying from the days of Adam down
to the present time: and it will con-
the time "When the sun shall be
turned into darkness and the moon in
to blood, before that great and nota-
BILE day of the Lord cometh." May we
halt right here and give God all the
honor, for artfellOWS nature and ma
ture is the handiWOrk of God.
Adam and Eve saw that the leaves
covered or dressed the tree; SO likewise
man; and as in this SO in everything
where art has emanated from the
hands of man. Nature first and then
art. Art has done wonders, and we
become lost in oblivion when we behold
have taken place throughout the
world by the hand of man. AS we re-
call to our minds the development of
machinery, the rapid rate of naviga-
tion and transportation, the introduce
ton of the Atlantic telegraph, carry
ing it communications for thousands
of miles at lightning speed ben eath
the briny waters of the Great A tlantic
and the voice of man following small
wire, talking from continent to CONT
nent, and thousands of other great and
magnanimOus ideas that emanated
from the mind Of man to the science
of art. Beauty, grandeur, subimity,
awe and admiration embellish in it's
own degree the utility and usefulness
of these great features.
Again our thoughts are called to the
wonderful discoveries of medical
science, which to day pro]ongs the life
of man, and what is there on this ter
restrial sphere that is held SO dear or
sweet as the life we own? The multi
millionaire would gladly lay down his
millions to the world in exchange for
a continuation of his life few years
longer. Art eliminating and develop
ing renders itself admirably and to the
glory of Him who reigneth supreme.
