that is beautiful in art and nature-not
for himself. but for those who otherwise
would never see anything but what Is
poor and squalid and commonplace. True.
he must also strive to alleviate the suf-
ferings Of their bodies, SO that their
minds may be free to enjoy: but he must
not sacrifice the higher for the lower
task--that would surely be the work of
what you call Philistine. And his
higher task is to feed their souls with all
that is lovely and stainless. Has not the
Master said. a man shall not live by
bread alone? Is 1t not true? And again

he gain the whole world and lose his own
soul? And is not the man who sits. fed
and clothed. in a low, fiat, level world of
mud huts In danger OF forgetting that
there were ever such wonders as the
minarets Of a high heaven-aspiring tenn
