among men. To give Him a place
where reverent women of modern life
shall sit at His feet is not so impossible
a task. Alexander Goltz has undertaken
1t. Holman has approached it. Stem
lradski has shown his conception of
the life at Bethany The painting of
COLT shows Jesus among the holy women
who mlnlstercd to Him of their sub
stance. His dress is the familiar striped
abba of modern Palestine. and the
women are distinctly modern. The pic
ture IS not remarkably strong, but it
is gentle and attractive.
But to give Christ a place among the
men of tO-day-can this be done with
out irreverence?
In the art department of the St.
LOUIS Exposition was a painting by
Leon Lhermitte, a living French artist.
1t represents a peasant CARRYING a
bundle of faggots He has stopped
for moment in WEAKNESS, and is
resting beside his burden, but is reused
and starts to his feet again, for Death
IS hard after him. 1t is a terrible painting:

on by starvation In the Museum
OF Fine Arts in Boston is a painting

Emmaus. The disciples there are work.

two to constitute a pair but they do
so, and sometime should hang together.
Among modern paintings, some of
the best loved are those of thinner
mann, whose Christ and the Fisher
men is full of pcrsuasivcness. The
faces of Peter and John look straight
into that of Jesus as He LAYS His hand
on the wrist of Peter, and invites him
to leave his fishing and become a fisher
of men. His The Last Supper" is
more thoroughly modern, and shows
