the art of the cubst? Is such a
censor required to silence the
cubist's cry OF plastic truJL ?" He
has appeared; he is in evidence and
the world applauds him.
Ask a painter, says a writer on
art, what it is that he desires to re-
produce from nature and he will
answer that it is the surface APP
pearance of things-not their form,
their color, their texture, their light
and shade. severally and singly, but
all these fused into one general i'm
preston.
Does the cubist do this? What is
the impression one gains as he looks
at the New York of Mr.. Max
Weber? A child in a kindergarten
class might give as good a one. Lit

one.
.The Head of n Woman"
Does the cubist, or the neo-im-
pressionist express PLASTIC truth in
1.-THE Head Of a Woman" of Mr.. Max
Weber, Ask the feminist.
What is the idea of plastic truth
in The Bathers," represented above
1t is as If one had just read some of
Mr.. Masefield's most realistic verses
and in an ugly nightmare had at
tempted to illustrate THE Widow in
the Bye-Street.'
But truth, long hidden in her well.

must sooner or later show her lovely
face, emerging. perched on the curb,

PLASTIC Truth" timidly presents her
self. In this example alone is beauty
born from the lifeless. dead pigment.
Art and Convention.
Art always strives to burst forth
from her convention and the impulse
of the futurist is TO counteract the
late impressionists' preoccupation
with tone and color, to effect the res
toration of lineal values to the art
of painting. Has he succeeded?
We all know that actual imitation
of nature is impossible, but has this
latter day idea of stating forms by
means of contrasting tones in one
convention achieved an art triumph

Practise of Calvary Church, in
This City, Recommended
to All Pastors.

In Calvary Church, in this city, is
observed a practise which is COM
mended to clerics of all denomina-
tons. In this church an assistant
of the pastor is assigned to the task
of reading to the people of the church
such news of worldwide interest, re-
ligious or secular, as appears in daily
newspapers. This is done at stated
times.
Thus the congregation, all of whom,
doubtless, are casual readers of the
daily news, have doubly impressed
upon their minds such items are af-
fec their religion, their interests or
the affairs of the world at large.
In st. Clements Church, in Phila
delphia, many years ago, were gath
ered<a staff of priests of the Society
of st. John the Evangelist. known
as the Cowley fathers. of which
Archbishop Benson was the head in
their oxford retreat. These priests,
some of whom had been missionaries
in many lands. We're all voracious
readers of newspapers.
I said to one of them one afternoon
after the midday meal, as he left the
refeetory. you seem always en-
crossed in a newspaper"
why should I not be?" was his
reply. How else would | find the
direction of the human current of the
world?"
This expresses the feeling of all
clerics who think. There are some
who do little thinking, as their ser
mons testify.
1t is we'll that the practise of the
Calvary Church should have public
recognition. No theological course,
no scholastic learning, can take the
place of the daily newspaper for the
militant clergymen, All those who
are great, all those recognized by the
world as men who count in the pulpit
will be found to be students of the
important journals of their environ
ment.

Or has the eubist, with his lineal
planes, presented recognizable
shapes? Again look at Mr.. Weber's
New York" you who know ana love
the great city, and judge for your
selves.
One of the claims OF the postum
pressionist is that his art is contem-
plative, the art of a Merlin who has
an adopts communion with the deep,
insoluble mysteries of life. Glance
at the Landscape" or the long eyes
of the Woman" and discover the
contemplation.
Finally, of the cubists, perhaps the
best conclusion regarding them is
that of the French critic, who says,
speaking especially of Picasso, they
are farceurs who should be left to en-
JOY their joke in complete solicitude!
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. POSTERS
In a late exhibition of impressionist
posters in the Dore gallery. in Lon
don. there are several examples which
are the work of Miss Anna Estelle
Rice an American. All the London
reviews speak OF these. unhappily. as
the worst in the collection. Among
others exhibited are the Bal Ia
barin'' of Grun, which is well known
and which has held its place on the
Paris boardings for nearly a decade
and the "Magasins du Louvre" of
Cheret equally as well known. 1t is
said of these that their bright color
ing forms their chief charm and that
the drawing which they display is
both accomplished and brilliant J. D.
Ferguson. who does work for a we'll
known New York firm, exhibits
posters also. of these it is said that
neither the color nor the drawing re-
deem the pretentious emptiness of the
design.
there is a Lesson or at least some
suggestive remarks for the cubist in
a book recently published on THE
Meaning of Art, Its Nature, Role and
Value" by Paul Gaultier. In the
book occurs this passage: Art is

ST. VINCENT de Paul.

Members of the St Vincent de Paul
societies in this city will, perhaps.
be glad TO know of a book published
in London by Heath, Cranton Il
Ouseley. dealing with the life of the
saint. The title of the book is win
cent de Paul, Priest and Philanthro-
pist 1576-1660." The author is e. K
Sanders. When the saint died and in
all the years of his declining age the
words continually on his lips were
these: Destroy in me, o Lord, all
that is displeasing unto Thee" This
WAS the keynote to the character OF
St Vincent de Paul
In his book on Pascal" Viscount
St. Cyres writes almost with a note
of scorn of St Vincent de Paul. says
the Spectator, as the patron saint
Of practical philanthropists.s and. he
continues, practical philanthropisss
seldom escape a touch Of superfici-
atty. They may be content with lit
, tie. with small profits and quick re-
turns, but brisk turnover they must
have"
But to look upon St Vincent de
Paul merely as a pioneer OF sucaai
reform and organized charity is a
one-sided view. II is true that he
was a successful philanthropist and
that in the sixteenth century by a
minglfng of inspiration and ripe ex-
, perience he arrived at conclusions
which are regarded as discoveries IN
the twentieth. In Mr.. Sanders's book
he points out that St. Vincent de
Paul dealt almost single-handed with
problems of restitution involving
many thousands of lives and devised
remedies which are still in use for
some of the diseases of social life
He realized and met the need of the
teaching and the tending Of the
young, the nursing of the sick, the
aiding of the prisoner, and then
passed on to the more difficult en-
terprlses that concern the fallen and
] the derelict.
In his old age st. Vincent de Paul
/ was acclaimed as Father of his
I Country and in Paris today his
