Today's Talk
BY George Matthew Adams

JOY
Before me in my library Is a most
beautiful bronze about twenty inches
tall. 1t represents a young nude fe-
male. 1t stands gracefully erect, with
its head tilted back in a delicious
smile.
Its outstretched arms hold firmly
a newborn baby. And the baby Is
smiling, too.
The sculptor was a woman. So
that each delicate curve was fash
toned in understanding.
This little bronze looks up at me
when l enter my room and as I write.
1t is a wonderful inspiration to me.
l wish that it might look into the
very heart of every one Of my help
full readers. l wish that Its spirit
might become a part of the atmos-
phere of the big world.
It's creator gave this this exquisite
piece the name of JOY"
l am aware that there is probably
more sorrow and disappointment in
the world than there is Of joy. But
I am also aware of the fact that Joy
is largely a matter of attitude. It's
the way we look at things, our view
point, the handling of our tempera-
ment, and whether we fully appreci-
ate our chance.
The path to Eternity is not over a
bed of roses. The rough stretches
are many and frequent. But, though
the sun always goes down at night, it
appears again in the morning-even
though it has sometimes to hit the
clouds.
In reality, JOY is the heritage of all
And SO l wish YOU-joy!

and the students of art, but also men and women,
in surprisingly large numbers, who not in
timately acquainted with the requirements of
high art, took pleasure in admiring the pictures.
Therein lies the true test of the value of the as
ISOLATION and the significant proof that the or
ganization is fulfilling it's mission in this COM
munity.
The citizenship of this city has an abiding
love for art. It was developed and nurtured by
the Art association, which has made it's influence
potent not only in the community generally but
also in the inculcation of a true appreciation of
art in our educational system. The indoctrina-
ton of boys and girls with sense Of true art
values is an accomplishment that will perpetuate
the work of the founders of the association.
The development of the association to its
present prestige has not been without its attend
ant disbursements, setbacks, heartaches and
disappointments. Financially, it has struggled
against great odds, and some Of its leaders, in
self-sacrificing spirit, have given generously of
their own money to foster and continue the or
ganization. The public seldom hears Of these
gifts, vicariously given for the general good and
effective in their development of better citizen
ship
The Art association is one of Richmonds best
assets Through it's exhibits it affords us delect-
able relaxation and opportunity to enjoy the
beauties Of nature pictorialy displayed by the
artists of our city and state and those of nation
al and international renown. Visitors to our
city are impressed with the accomplishments of
the association, and glad to sound our praises
elsewhere.
All of us hope that the association will con-
tinue to prosper, to increase its activities, to
widen the scope of its accomplishments and to
perpetuate love, in young and old, for art.

The Art Association

Often an institution does vast amount of
mertorious work in quiet and unassumng way.
The years roll by and it's contributions to the pro-
motion of the city's happiness and welfare are
hardly noticed.
The Richmond Art association belongs to this
class. 1t is almost impossible to chronicle its
benefits or to measure the worth of it's endeav-
ors, for it develops intangible civic spirit and
an elusive cultural purpose, which do not lend
themselves to appraisement by monetary values
or measurement by visible standards.
The Art association, since it's inception, has
been of incalcuable value to Richmond. From
it's humble origin and it's first exhibits, it has
gradually, year by year, increased the scope of
it's activity, while it has planted in the hearts of
thousands who have viewed it's displays of
paintings, genuine love for art and lasting ap-
probation of the beautiful.
The best test of the popularity of move
ment is the interest the community takes in it.
No who has visited exhibit of paintings
in the art gallery could have failed to notice that
the visitors were representative of our whole
community life. Not only the artists of the city,
