he seems to feel that the face of the
Master should be a reality to every
Christian that a knowledge of what
he looked like as a man has a deep
rooted value in the worship of him as
a god.
The fact, too, that this matter has
been the object of So much discussion
and conjecture in the past has strength
ened his determination to establish the
facts forever. To do this he has in the
course OF some two hundred odd papers
forged a chain,s of which some links are
of gold, some iron and some, as he ad-
mits. of wire-like fragility-a chain of
testimony.
He has met with great opposition,
even with a storm of protest. the Ag-
nostic Journal in England taking a
particularly keen pleasure in deriding
his theories, but he has also received
the appreciation of numbers of great
and good, wise nd witty men, as well
as awakened the interest of the world
at large.
This theory of his is of Importance. or
should be- not only to churchmen but
to al. who are interested in the Scrip
lures from a historical or literary
standpoint, and artists all over the
world will read attentively the testi-
mcny of countless generations of reli-
gious painters. The painters are Sir
Wyke Bayliss' chief witnesses, for,
he says quoting the great Farrar,
Art cannot deceive -
Sir Wyke tells of a certain venerable
minister who protested against his
theory on the ground that he could
never believe that the Holy Spirit could
have permitted an artist TO paint the
face of Christ.
1T does not seem to have occurred
to- this clergyman remarks Sir Wyke

and that the only question at issue is
whether the representations thus per-
mitted are true or false!" He also adds
that in other questions the Holy Spirit
Is generally considered to be on the
side OF truth,
A certain English Bishop, who was a
professor of archaeology as well, says
that the artist has power of seeing
resenIblances and detecting prevalent
type" which he is quite without. He
adds that he is willing to trust Sir
Wyke's esthetic perceptions in the
matter. Most persons, as a matter oil
fact, are able to trace the similarities
perceived by Sir Wyke. If not by the
Bishop, and a perusal of REX Regum
leaves the most skeptical in frame
of mind closely bordering upon ccnvic-
tion-a conviction which may have in
it, of course, as much enthusiasm as
reason.
Sir Wyke's argument is carried or
along the following lines:
"A man born ard educated in q
Christian country is in the position o1
cne who inherits his fathers house,
mansion built centuries ago, containing
many rooms, in the chief of which, anc
occupying the place of honor. hangs
a beautiful picture which from his
childhood he has believed to be the

eyes; since there has been a
Christian church at all there has
been an ideal of Christ. And by the
ideal of Christ we do not mean only the
spiritual ideal, not the material, not
merely the soul. not the body. Who
can read the tender and terrible record
of the GaliIean peasant without won
dering what he looked like-in what
guise he appeared tc Mary and Martha
and the disciples who loved him and to
PLATE who judged him?
In his manger doubtless he looked like
other babies-we like to think so. And

returned valuable reports at the after

The committee recommended that under
