MuRAkkLo, THE PAINTER OF THE
IMMACULATE CONCEPTION.

Bartoleme Esteban Murillo is known
as the painter of the Immaculate Con-
ception Born at Seville in Spain on
December 81, 1917, only few months
after the doctrine of the Immaculate
conception was solemnly promulgated
for that country, his pre-eminence
seems to have been foreshadoWed by
the fiestas which took place in his
native town before his birth. His art
was certainly Influenced by the time
and environment in which he lived
Murillo's life, the purity and happi-
ness of which is reflected in the gen
eral character of his paintings. was
spent chiefly within the confines of his
native and beloved Madrid When in
his twenties he set off on a journey
to study the great masters but he got
not farther than Seville, where his
compatriot, Velasquez, secured him the
privileges of the royal galleries, in
which he had an opportunity to study
the works of Titan, Veronese, Tinto-
rettO and Rubens, as well as those of
VelasQuez himself. He returned to
Seville in 1914 and left again but once,
in 1881, when he journeyed to Cadiz
to paint an altar for the Capuchins
which he never finished. A fall from
his scaffolding, or a serious Illness
authorities differ in their accounts
caused him to return hurriedly to Sc
Vile, where he died after brief peri
cd of suffering in 1852.
Murillo was the national painter of
country where all sentiment was still
merged in that of religion. He was
wholly a religious painter, for with
the exception of few portraits and
some genre pieces, not one profane
picture of his is known to exist. His
| instinct and gift of storytelling led
| him to treat many of the gospel nara
tives and these he does in a manner
| which shows that he understood that
the true language of the gospel is the
true language of the people. Notable
among these works is the PERIODICAL
Son. of the Hermitage.
Muri1lo has treated the theme of the
| SoICCpe1otk AAOAS IhoA'
| twenty times without ever repeating
himself or without ever wearying. Six
versions are at Madrid, six at Seville
probably the best known is in the
Louvre, and others are scattered in
various parts of Europe. AS the'mere
theological doctrine of the Immaculate
Conception naturally excludes mate
rial representation, the equivalent
chosen was the theme of the Assump
ton. The pictorial treatment is sale
to have been determined, in it's main
outlines, by vision vouchsafed {
Franciscan monk in the sixteenth cen
tury and many examples of it are
found among earlier paintings.
1t is of interest to American Cath
olics that a full-size mosaic copy O
Murillo's most famous treatment O
the Immaculate Conception, the gift O
Pope Benedict XIV and the first papa
i gift of it's kind to come to the United
States, is to be placed in the sanctu
airy of the National Shrine of the I'm
maculate Conception at the Catholic
University. The mosaic will be exc
cuted in the famous workshop at the

SWEETEST THINGS.

What are the sweetest things or
earth?
Lips that can praise rivals worth;
A fragrant rose that hides no thorn;
Riches of gold untouched by scorn;
A happy little child asleep;
Eyes that can smile though they may
weep; e
A brothers cheer; fathers praise;
The minstrelsy of summer days.
A heart where anger never burns;
A gift that looks for no returns;
Wrongs overthrow; pains quick re
lease;
Dark footsteps guided into peace;
The light of love in lovers eyes;
Age that is young as well as wise;
A mothers kiss; a baby's mirth--
These are the sweetest things Of earth

OLD LOVE LETTERS.

I wonder how many married people
there are at the present day. who read
their love letters.
One hears SO much of the unhappy
side of married life that surely the
normal and happy side-because the
happy side I firmly believe ia the
normal-is refreshing. :.
We often hear it said that one could
not, with any feeling of comfort or at
least of pleasure, read love letter
written by oneself ten or more years
ago. Yet my husband and | are cele:

day-the letter written and the letter
received that day ten years ago-and

of separation which preceded our mar
riage,. with all their interest and daily
doings, and the joys and happiness OF
our courtship days. -
Reading these old letters acts as a
tonic, and it must not be surmised thai
we are people of leisure My hus
bands day is long one, and a serv
antless house and three youngsters
supply plenty of room for wife's ener
gies, especially when she must be
sewing-maid, too.
But half-hour before or after sup
per is easily spared, and 1 would ad
wise any married folks whose love
letters are at least ten years old tt
take them out, if possible, and reat
them day by day, and it will be. like
a strengthening.
If the pair can't sit down, together
and read their letters and honestly
say they would not take back a word
well, at least, it isn't likely that theil
home-life will have to be aired before
a court of law.
For the keynote to the harmony i!
