The Beauty of Words.

But though poetry ID AAiS
words. vet words themselves, as IN
diyiduals. are not poetry. Many years
ago in the old village of Ayr, nigh un-
to the banks of the Bonnie Doom l
heard an old Scotchman recite John
Anderson. Ny Jo, John" and other
poems of the great lyric poet until the
tears rained down his cheeks, and l
thought those poems were the sweet
est words ever composed by man. But
the words Burns used in his poems'
and William Shakespeare used IN ms
poems. and LongfellOw used IN MS
Doems. and Whittier and Holmes and
Lowell and Bayard Taylor used in
their poems. were for the most part
only the simple words we use in ev-
eryday life by our own tiresides. Inc
beauty of these poets words are en-
tirely due to their juxtaposition with
their surrounding words. The words
which express our thoughts, our pas
sions. on. emotions, may not be beau
tiful in themselves, but if they are
brought into rhythm with Gods words
they not only become poetry. but they
become beautiful, for then our thoughts
as words are in symmetry with Gods
thoughts
But perhaps we have fingered al
ready too long among the artists and
the musicians and the sculptors and
the architects and the poets to find
mans spiritual beauty by being in
symmetry with Gods thoughts Per
haps after all we can clinch the truth
of our text best by a short running
comment upon a few of the verses
which precede the words, He hath
made everything beautiful in its time y
God says that man is beautiful when
he is born Oh, yes. That means
when man is born for Christ. But is
man beautiful when he is born for sin?
Come with me, and l will show you
Robespierre gleefully sharpening the
ak Of his guillOtine l will show you
an Indian demon just for fun torturing
victim at the stake whose scalp will
soon be hanging at the warriors belt.
1 will show you men who for the price
of a drink are ready to sell their sons
and daughters into a life of crime. Can
you see any beauty in the birth of a
demOniac Frankenstein?
There is a time to die" which is
beautiful. Death, if it comes in Gods
way, is beautiful for then a dying
saint knows death is not annihilation,
but coronation, irradiatiOn and eternal
triumph. Like old Senator FoOte,
when dying he can look at the raptur-
GUS glories ahead and cry: "Beauti-
full! Beautiful! Beautiful But was
the death Of Nero beautiful? Was the
death of Cleopatra beautiful? Was
the death Of Thomas Paine beautiful

ton, a discord, but man redeemed, is
haloed with divine beauty, and, as
Ralph Waldo Trlne has said. Gle is in
tune with the infinite" He becomes
part Of the universal harmony, and his
thoughts are in spiritual symmetry
with the thoughts of God
COIeridge's Definition.
We find an analogy foS- mans spir-
lIual beauty in the painters brush
and the artists easel. According to
Samuel COleridge, the English poet and
literary critic, the true definition Of
beauty" is multitude in unity"
When standing before a great picture
like that Of Leonardo da Vincfs Last
Supper" or Murillos Miracle of the
Loaves and Fishes" or Raphaers
greatest picture. his Sistine "Madon-
na," we find that there the many lights
and the shadows. the gold and the
silver and the green and the vel
low and the blue and the saffron and
the violet and the purple, all blend in
one common purpose. Thousands, per
haps tens of thousands of times, Mi
chael Angelo, with his brush, may have
touched the wall in tbe Vatican where
today is seen his Last Judgment" "
But not one Of all of those thousands
of times when he laid on the paint did
he do so without having one great idea
In his mind. Perfection is composed
Of many trifes," wrote he, 'but per
feetion in art is not a trifle." A great
picture is always ''multitudes of diff
ferent colors in blending unity" That
unity is the cause of beauty when
seen upon the canvas Of the masters
of old and the masters Of the present
daK.

Our "Accnrned Industry.

Instances might be multiplied of the
transmutation or modification of racial
Characteristics in the crucible of Ameri-
can life. a story, in illustration OF this
process, was recently told by an artist
who, in the course of a visit to America
last year. encountered an Italian sing
ing master who had migrated to an
American city from London good
many years ago. The inducement was
that, owing to the highest remunera-
ton, he could earn enough in nine
months to spend the remainder OF the
year in agreeable Incidence in italy
The results justified the move and tof
a while he was able to arrange his lie
on this plan, to his entire satisfaction
Unfortunately he gradually became In
fected with the "accursed industry oi
the Americans, with the result that he
could never enjoy his holiday because
of the longing to get back to work
and has now given up the annual visit
to his native land.

draegly bobtailed effects, and I'm glad
of it. And, another thing, there were
fewer elaborate gowns than one might
expect Embroidered linens were the
rule and not the exception, and tailor
made linen and mohair costumes were
much in evidence.
One very pretty costume was of blue
linen. The three quarter length coat
was faultlessly cut, and the skirt was
laid in nice full plaits. With this was
worn a wide sailor shape hat of ecru
straw with two pompons of blue and
white cocks feathers and a white and
blue spotted veil.

more general. smart people run all
over the country in their motor cars.
