1t is not so much what he docs MS the

"A beautiful gesture, literally! I once
heard a very charming sermon on the most
beautiful gesture" of one Of the followers
of Jesus, viz, the breaking of the alabastcr
box of ointment, very precious, to anoint
His feet at the feast of Simon.
A still more ancient example of famous
beautiful act was recorded of the fol-
lowers of David of Judca when at the risk
of their lives they brought him water to
drink of the we'll of his native town of
Bethlehem.

DIT il takes two TO make Il charming
ID extravaganza of appreciation possible
it lies in the quality Of the one who inspires
such an act quit" as much as, If not more
than. in the one who makes the beautiful

but Of sympathy for the motives. No one

one look or feel n fool.
In the classic instances of David and of
Jesus the response was worthy of the act.
David poured the precious water on the
ground as a libation to God, ms being too
precious to bc tasted by his lips. Jesus
stoned the ceremony of the feast to accept
the tribute of humble yet cXtravagant dcvo-
tion and forptold its perpetual remembrance
wherever he was remembered to the end of
time.

or women in public life whose very names
charm the crowd into a certain enthusiasm
of romantic hero worship.

last time was the response of the crowd at
the Academy mass meeting on American
i2ation Day when the name of Roosevelt
was mentioned. 1t was the same when he
was alive. People did CXtravagant things
for him. things that surprised themselves
sometimes Even his enemies could not
escape paying him an unwontcd personal
tribute of attention and of response when
they came into his presence. His egotism
was Of the sort that subtly accepted and
allowed scope for the ego Of others, so that
if one paid him tribute by word or act he
