In the world has been illustrated by so many
famous artists 1t is easy to see some OF the
reasons which have made it favorite subject
First, there is the religious interest which
centers in the entrance of the Divine Saviour
into the world. Such an event, for all who be-
lieve in the Christian religion, must have
profound significance 1t is the sunrise of
faith, the beginning of a new spiritual world,
the laying of the cornerstone of the kingdom
of heaven on earth. Even if the artist himself
were not sure of this, did not altogether be-
lieve 1t, he would know that other people be-
lieved it, and by the imagination he could see
what a supreme importance given by the
faith of Christendom to the brief and simple
story of the birth at Bethlehem
Second there is the human interest which
cngs to the ever beautiful relation of mother
hood and childhood. The tenderest and most
unselfish love is that with which true moth
er looks upon her little child; the most perfect
innocence and trustful JOY are revealed in the
deep eyes of the baby who smiles into the face
of his mother bending over him. The paint
ings of the Child Jesus and the Virgin Mary
have drawn into themselves the best thoughts
of men concerning the gracious secret of ma
ternity and the unstained bliss of infancy.
Fantastic Legends.
Third, there is the poetic and pictorial inter
est which grows out of the incidents of the
" significance of the birth of Christ and its
outward circumstances, the blending of light
and shade, Joy and sorrow, hope and fear, an
gelic songs and earthly prosecutions. All these
varied elements, centering about single figure,
afford a field of illumination and illustration
such as art loves.
My first advice, then, to those who wish
thoroughly to appreciate and enjoy these pic
lures would be to read and reread the gospel
of St Matthew from the eighteenth verse of
the first chapter to the end of the second chap
ter and the first two chapters of ST. Lukes
gospel Then 1t would be wise to read some
of the later legends which were woven in the
apocryphal books, and in the medieval poems
and narratives about the birth and childhood
of Christ Many of these legends are curious
and fantastic evidently allegorica and symbol
cal They have none of the simple directness
and quiet restraint of the Biblical history.
They are in effect, clear illustrations OF that
native trait of the human mind-familiar to
every one who has tried TO tell true story
TO child-the craving for picturesque detail.
How did 1t happen? Where did 1t happenY
Who was there? How did they look? What
did they do afterwards" These the ques-
tions that children ask when they hear story;
and these are the questions to which men have
given fanciful answers in the apocryphal and
medieval legends, such the protevan6elium
of st. James, the gospel of st. Thomas, the
gospel of the pseudo Matthew. The history of
the nativity of Mary, the golden legend OF Jaco-

main divisions: those which represent its &C.
tual journey and those which show the Holy
Family resting, either by the way, or in the
land of Egypt. The paintings which deal with
the latter theme-commonly known the Re-
pose-include some of the most beautiful works
of art, especially during the last three centu
ries Many details have been introduced from
the legends of the fight, in which the apocry-
pha History of the Nativity of Mary" is par
ticularly rich. This is one of them: THE Holy
Family rested by the road beneath date palm
and Mary desired to eat of the fruit but 1t
hung high above her head. Joseph, being
weary was not able to climb the tree. But the
Child Jesus knew his mothers wish, and at his
command the tree bent down it's branches.
Then he thrust his fingers into the sand and
a spring of water gushed forth The next morn
ing Jesus thanked the obedient tree and prom
Used that one of its branches should be carried
by the angels and planted in Paradise.
The Triumph of the nnocents.
The landscape is half Swallowed by night,
but the moonbeams weave a flmy radiance
over plain and the distant hills where the
watch fires are growing red In front marches
Joseph, with his basket of tools on his back,
a sturdy son of toll The mother, noble
woman of Palestine carries the child In her
arms, happy and fearless. But who are these
little children that run and float beside the
travellers? They are the spirits OF the muir
dered innocents of Bethlehem, set free to fol
low the infant Saviour, and knowing that
through him they have entered by the gate OF
death into eternal joy Three tiny ghosts In
the rear have not yet felt his presence nor
caught sight of him, and the pain and terror
of mortality are heavy upon them But the
others are radiant and rejoicing as ransomec
souls; and at their feet rolls the river of life
breaking into shimmering bubbles in which
the glories of heaven reflected. JOSEPH
does not see the spirits doubt whether ever
Mary sees them clearly. But Jesus recognizes
his former playmates with JOY. He leans from
his mothers arms to greet them holding out
handful of wheat, the symbol of the bread OF
Heaven.
1t is all mystical. visionary, unreal? Or 10
it a true picture to the eye of what faith be
holds in the religion OF Jesus? Surely If this
gospel has any meaning it is the bringing OF
light and blessing to the suffering little ones
of earth; a deeper compassion and tenderei
care for them, and the promises Of heavet
full of happy children

the painters and embodied in their pictures
Suppose you have a picture of the Annuncia-
ton which represents Mary as passing through
a garden when the angel came to her; that is
in accordance with the Protevangelium which
says that Mary was chosen by lot from among
the virgins of Nazareth to spin the royal
purple of the Temple veil; one day. as
she was returning from the fountain with her
pitcher of water the angel met her and said:
Hail. thou who art full of grace!" and when
she went back to her spinning he came again
to her to complete his message. If the picture
represents Mary in the house, working at the
veil, the artist has chosen to show us the sec.
ond appearance of the angel The emblems
which the artists put into their pictures
significant The pot of lilies at Mary's side,
the liy-branch in the angels hand symbolic
purity. The olve-bough borne by the dove
means peace,
Or here is a picture of the nativity which
shows the Child and his mother and Joseph in
a cave. This is according to the account of
Justin Martyr land quite in harmony with
the customs of Paestine), that the stable of
the inn where Christ born was a grotto
in the rocks. Here perhaps you the
and the ass bowling their heads before the
child. This is told by the gospel of the pseudo
Matthew in fulfllment of the prophecy OF
Isaiah; THE OK knoweth his owner and the
ass his masters crib" Here, again, is a daz-
cling supernatural light radating from the
child, so that shepherds who have just entered
must shade their eyes. This detail is given
in many legends.
How the Story Develops.
The five chief points around which the paint
ings of the birth and childhood Of Christ nat
urally group themselves are "a The Annun-
citation; (2) The Nativity; 90 The Alteration
of the Magi "a The Flight Into Egypt; 90
The Home at Nazareth.
l. The Annuncation comes from the first
chapter of ST. Luke, and with It are associated
two minor Incidents the visit Of Mary to her
cousin Elizabeth, and the birth of John the
Baptist the forerunner of Christ. The painters
have delighted to show us the virginia. beauty
and meekness of Mary; the JOY with which the
angel brought his message, and the awe and
wonder with which she received the new con
ception of her son as the Son of the Highest,
the Saviour of his people. No picture of the
Annuncation is good in which this wonder and
this joy are not expressed, If in addition the
painter has chosen to put in many details to

make us feel the innocence and lovely grace of
Marys life; if he has shown us the quiet work
with which she is busy; the sweet order of her
room which images the tranquility of her soul;
this also is well. But the great thing is that
he should perceive and show, as simply as pos
sible the charm of that perfect figure OF maiden
hood, no rude peasant girl, but one with royal
blood in her veins and heavenly thoughts in
her heart
The Nativity.
2. The pictures of the Nativity have great
err variety of incidents and of modes of presen-
tation The simplest are those which show
Mary and Joseph in the stable with the child;
then come those in which the angels appear,
the shepherds came to pay their alteration;
another conception represents the mother
alone with her babe adoring him or nursing
him. Pictures of the presentation in the tenn
pie, and perhaps of the Madonna and
Child belong to the general theme of the Ma
tivity because their central idea is the advent
of Christ as little babe.
Here the painters have found a wide
field for imagination, and have used large
liberty in expressing the feelings with which
different persons drew near to the holy child.
Mary is almost always shown wondrously
happy; sometimes, as in Murillo's Alteration
of the Shepherds lifting the cloth that COW
ers the child and displaying him with gentle
pride.
g. With the Alteration OF the Mag a new ele-
ment comes into the scene. These wise men
from the east, whether they were kings or
not, were the representatives of the outside
world.
There are pictures which show the Magi on
their journey led by a star, sometimes
shining in the form of a babe in the sky; and
others which show them at the court of
Herod asking their way, and others which
show them being warned by angel in
dream not to go back to jerusalem and 9TH
ers which show them returning by sea TO their
own country. But the great majority of paint
ers have chosen the moment at which the
gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh were
presented TO the child. Here there is room for
splendid color and dramatic contrast.
4. The Flight into Egypt is the contrasting
companion-piece to the Alteration of the Magi
The one brings the great world into the dwell
ing of the Child Jesus the other carries the
Child Jesus out into the great world.
