A Lesson From the Butterfly.

A naturalist one day was studying
a cocoon, in which butterfly was
struggling TO be free. He heard 1t
beating against the sides Of it's little
prison, and his heart went out in pity
for the helpless creature.
Taking q tiny lancet he cut away
the fragile walls and released the lit
tie captive. But to his amazement 1t
was not the beautiful creature that
he had expected to see. II lay strus-
Cling upon the table. unable TO walk,
unable to fly, a helpless. unlovely OBJ
iect. In place Of the gorgeously col
ored wings that he had expected to
see, were weak, shriveled members.
What was the matter with this
creature that should have been so
fair? The prison gates had been
opened too soon, the obstacle had
been removed before the struggler
had developed sufficiently through
struggling TO be ready for its glorious
fight into the sunshiny skies and
among the perfumed flowers. . God.

/ Said DR.. Emil Reich in his London
lecture: Art is one of the greatest
phenomena OF our world. II is one
OF the most serious Of things. Ma
ture has no art. Nature is grotesque
nad weird; but art is ours. 1t is hui
man. Art means anything. A sys-
tenn Of philosophy is as much art as
beauty in sculpture and rhythm and
cadence in poetry. There Is the art
of living, the art OF meeting people.
No bird gives real music; the finest
nightingale sends out only weird
tones, but IL isn't music. The only
musical sound in nature is the sound
OF water dripping from a rock. Art
is hypernature, anti-nature. II Is
neither imitation nor rivalry, bu,

lust minded his duty and troubled
himself about nothing: who did his
own work and did not interfere with

working not for reward, but because
it was the will of God! How happily
he would receive his food and cloth

God, What peace would be his'
What a sober gayety, How hearty
and infectious his laughter. What a
friend he would be- How sweet his
sympathy, And his mind would be
So clear he would understand every

No fear OF his ever doing a mean
thing. He would lie in a ditch rather.
