did JESUS WEAR A BEARD?

In this respect. This writer recalls that
Euseoius, when requested by Constantia
the sister of the emperor, for an authen-
TIC picture of Jesus, was able to furnish
her nothlng but two portraits, one claimed
TO De that of Christ ana the other of
Paul; but both were drawn after the man
ner of the philosophers of the times, with
full boards and long hair, which pic
lures, however, were not regarded as por
TRAITS but rather as symbolical represen-
tations of these two men, the general
characteristics being probably derived
from the ideals of the gods entertained
by the classical nations. The fact that
for historical and Biblical reasons Christ
should be pictured without a beard and
with short hair was not entirely lost even
on later sacred painters. From both
Leonardo da vinci and Michel Angelo we
have pictures of Christ in the final judg-
ment according to this older type.
Among other representatives of relig-
1ous art who have taken position on this
question is also the famous Frederick Won
Uhde, whose remarkable pictures of scenes
in the life of Christ, in which he pictures
the Lord amid perfectly modern sur
roundings, have aroused warm discussions
In church circles for years But Won Uhde
believes that. not historical. but ideal rea-
sons should decide how Jesus should be
painted, and on the whole adheres to the
traditional type. A somewhat new turn
was given to the debate by the official
action of the general Lutheran confer
ence of Germany, which requested the
famous Biblical artist of Neuchatel Prof.
e. Burnant, to outline the principles ac-
cording to which Christ pictures should
be drawn. He mentions the following
seven.
Christ must be pictured as superior
and superhuman being; he must at the
same time appear as a true man. his hu-
man characteristics must be perfectly
free from all evidences of sin or its re-
suits; the leading characteristics OF love,
poverty and patience must also be IN evil
dence; the perfect union between the spir-
itually perfect holiness and the special
human conditions of his life must also
appear; a proper moderation in portray
ing these seemingly contradictory char
acteristics must be observed; and, finally,
the beauty Of Jesus must be found chiefly
in his expression"

George Kept Him Busy

A we'll known Virginia clergyman, one
time president Of William and Mary col
lege, was married three times, and or
each occasion the ceremony was per-
formed by his brother, an even more re-
nowned bishop. When the first marriage
took place the bishop had to refuse a
tempting invitation from an old friend be-
cause-so the letter rant am going up
to Williamsburg on that date to marry
my brother George
The same friend happened to be on the
train with him, years afterward, when he
was travelling to the second ceremony.
"I am going to marry my brother
George" the bishop explained benigply,
after the business of greetings was over.
Again many years passed. and the same
journey was taken once more for the
same purpose BY strange coincidence,
the identical friend ran into the bishop as
they hurried through the depot to their
respective trains. Where going, bishop?"
the former sang out as they grasped
hands and dashed by each other.
II am going where 1 am always going,
the answer came back, ponderously, ito
marry by brother George!'-Harper's s

"There was an old fisherman rowing
in his boat one day, when an automo-
bile canoe sprung a leak near him and
Immediately sank.
ITO the indignation of the canoe s
occupants, the old man paid no heed to
them, but rowed calmly on his way,
putting an old clay pipe.
However, the wrecked canoeists man
aged TO swim to him, and as they clam
bered into his boat one sputtered, an
grily:
"'Confound you, why didn't you lend
us a hand? Didn't you see we were
