In small summer hotel the guests were
annoyed by little girl. who after dinner
every day went to the piano and played
some elementary piece until the guests
were distracted After playing few
notes correctly she always hit a false
note, and always the same false note. One
day a great pianist by chance came to the
hotel. and the guests told him about the
annoyance. He smiled but said nothing.
Immediately after dinner he sought the
child and invited her to play. He stood
back Of her. with his hands just above
hers. and when she struck a note he
struck others, weaving a beautiful har-
nlony about OF the simple tune. And when
she struck that same vexatiOus false note,
he smiled and changed the discord into
wondrous music by playing chords that
absorbed it. His music added to hers, the
artistic touch added to the erring touch.

that was artistic goodness!

Here are shown three excellent
patterns. the pillow case design

The Artistic Temperament.

There is an inestimable value in our
church gatherings-the foregatherings of
fellow-craftsmen in the divine art OF
good living. Good souls meet for mutual
announcement and inspiration and To
study the ideals and the technique OF
their art. And in such assemblies the
artistic temperament, the passion for
goodness. is kindled and famed into a
glowing flame. Very often the so-calied
artistic and scientific temperament
Is temperament without the last
two syllsbles. and even some good
people have been known to exhibit
high temper rather than a high ideal
In their conduct. But the artistic tenn
perament that finds its ideal and its
Joy in goodness produces good works, for
IL Is "a fruit of the Spirit who is the
source OF all goodness and all grace i'll

Art of Doing Good.

The art OF doing good. Art. not artifice;
art. not artifciality. Goodness of heart.
goodness of thought. goodness OF word.
goodness OF deed, all employed with
knowledge and skill In the divine task of
making the world happier by making IL

product, and in doing so frequently i'm

fish while revealing the beauty. The
Christian soul has its defects of charac-

tic goodness IAN improve on natural good
ness, and make the heart pure and its
works beautiful in the sight of man and

with some power for good. some talent
for service. some gift for beautifying life.
Not all can be successful musicians,
painters, poets or orators; but each OF us
has his own gift. his own talent, his OWE
genius: and in his effort to adorn the
gospel in which he believes by beauti-
full life he Will best succeed by develop
ing his own gifts in the service of man,
which is the service of God.
So, besides the artistic temperament
and ideal, We need teaching by precept
and example and much exercise of our
powers in being and doing good in our
own sphere and according to our own
opportunities. In this. as in all arts, the
beginner first attempts may be failures,
awkward. clumsy. crude: but while he
may make many failures. his effort is not
lost. for it cultivates his powers, and SUBJ
sequent experience will teach him how
to avoid many false strokes and to COR
rect his faults of design and execution,
and above all he learns through his
failures to take time and pains. and SO
acquires skill in artistic goodness.
For the best way to become good and
to do good is to become good for some
thing through the diligent use of what
we are.
This finest of all arts Is not confined
to churchly endeavor; is it only the great
preacher. the great teacher. the great
singer who can beautify life and adorn
the gospel? Every profession. every
avocation. every trade. every line of work
can become a means of beautifying serv
ice. The doctor, the lawyer, the civil en-
gineer the architect all minister TO
human good in great ways: could not
their service become artistic as well as
mechanical. The carpenter of Nazareth
was more than a mechanic, He was an
artist in His trade. and did His work as
well as carpenters work could be done.
He was no mere hatchet and saw carpen-
ter. for in making yokes for oxen His
compassionate heart. which never forgot
beast o. man, prompted him to make
yokes that would not gall or chafe; and
He also made the yoke of duty easy, and
the burden of living light; His was artis-
tic goodness in the carpenter shop as
wei as in the pulpit. Is there any more
trying task than that of the housekeeper? !?
But not few women have learned how
to make housekeeping a noble form Of
artistic goodness. Not so with poor
Martha, then and now, who makes serv-
ice a burden 10 herself and an annoyance
to others. When we consider how much
the health and happiness of the world de-
pends on good housekeeping and good
cooking, is 1t not common sense to say
that cooking stove may be an altar to
God, and a we'll cared for table means
of grace? Let the housekeeper adorr
her service by that beauty of spirit
which makes for health and happiness to
all that are in the house.

The Artistic Touch.

The artist may have studied all the
great masters. he may have acquired a
knowledge of all the principles Of his art,
he may have high ideals and noble In
spirations. but he will utterly fail as a
painter. sculptor, musician or poet unless
he has the artistic touch. And there are
thousand ways in which artistic good
ness employs the artistic touch. The win
ming smile that lights up gloomy day;
the well modulated voice that makes re-
proof acceptable and commendation de-
lightful; the cheeriness OF demeanor

than all the drugs in the apothecary's
