Painter Comes Into His Own

+; New York, Jan. 10.-Benjamin
West, obscure pioneer in American
art, though he later became painter
to the King of England, at last has
come into his own in his native land.
For the first time in the century
and more since he was laid to rest in
st. Paurs Cathedral, London, along
side Barry, Reynolds and Van Dyke,
comprehensive public exhibit of
vests work is being held in Phila-
delphia near the place of his birth,
by the Philadelphia Art Alliance.
The exhibit comprises. t~enty eight
selections, paintings and drawings and
according to Albert Rosenthal, secre-
tary of the committee in chages, pre- g.
sents full view of Vests power and
versatility.
From painting portraits in Phila-
delphia for a mere subsistence, to be-
come the painter to the King of Eng
land; standing with Reynolds and
Lawrence in his profession, one of the
Royal Academy and its second pre-
!sident succeeding Reynolds, seems a
bit of romance rather than a state
ment of fact. Mr.. Rosehthal said.
But such are the facts"
West was bern in the Quaker COM
. .munity of Springfield now Swart-
more, Pa, October 10, 1888.
He began his career as an artist at
seven, with pencil drawing of his
sisters baby, inspired when he saw
the infant smile in it's sleep. At
eighteen he set up in Philadelphia as
a portrait painter, moving on two
years later to New York and again,
two years later, to Italy, where he
worked for three years.
Next he invaded London, with a
series of historic and religious paint
ings appearing as one Of the leaders
of the revolt against the current imi-
tation of classic art. King George
III quickly became interested in West
and took him under his special pat
ronage, appointing him in 1772 his
toric painter to the King.
He was one of four artists who
presented to King George the plan
for Royal Academy; was one Of its
founders and, at the death of Sir
Joshua Reynolds, became its second
president.
When he died, in March, 1920, he
was given sepulture in st. Paul's as
an academician. "The PAIL" says q

Gold Always Loved by Man

New York, Jan. R.-Gold has been
one of the most compelling forces in
the molding Of human history, says
the January Mentor Magazine. In all
ages and all languages, the word it.
self has been Turing and commanding
In the second chapter Of Genesis. the
land Of Havilah. "whcre there is

the East. who followed the Star of

streets.
Adventurers Sought Gold
Gold has usually been the lure OF
the venturesome. Jason and his Argo
nauts set sail from Sicily to the fur,
ther shore of the Black Sea to bring
back the Golden Fleece In later times.
Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy
banded his knights into the famous
Order of the Golden fleece.
Propcrtius, :, whose life covered
roughly the SO years preceding the
birth of Christ, wrote: "This' is in
deed the Golden Age. The greatest re-
wards come from gold: by gold, love
is won; by gold, faith is destroyed;
by gold justice is bought. The law fol-
lows the track of gold, while modesty
will soon follow it, when love is gone"

Death Of Haifa Removes
Great Personality

Jerusalem, Jan. 1.-THE death at
Haifa, Palestine, recently Of Abdul
Balm Abbas, founder of the Bahai
movement, removes from the Orient
great personality who has long been
regarded as prophet by thousands of
followers scattered throughout the o.
cidcnt as well rs in the Near East.
With his death, the movement has
passed under the guidance Of com,
mittcc Of 10 representing different
religions and races.
Abdul Bahia (servant of God) was
n years cid and his career had been
Il romantic enc. He was exponent of
an univcSal movement whose aim was
the realization of the brotherhood of
man, and it had gained adherents in
Europe, Asia and America and in
some of these continents huge temples
had teen erected for the observance
of his teachings.
His funeral assumed an interna.
tional aspect at which were present
many notables representing many
countries. Sir Herbert Samuel, High
Commissioner of Palestine, was in
the procession.
At the age of 20, Abdul BAHIA and
his father, BAHIA Olah. were sent to
the penal colony of Acca in Syria be-
cause of their radical teachings. For
more than 40 years he suffered the
vicisstudes of political prisoner. He
was liberated in 90S at the earnest So
licitation Of his followers in all parts
he started on long journey which
took him to Europe and America and
resulted in the swift spreading of his
message and gospel.
While in the United States in 1912
he spoke from many Christian pulpits
and before many different organiza-
tions, schools and colleges. In 1920
he was knighted by Great Britain for
his humanitarian work in Syria and
for his service for world peace.
Bahaism is a social reform. 1t aims
1t the freeing Of mankind from the re-
ligious, social and political yokes Of
the times. Among the things for
whia2s.ih.stands are: An universal
religion, universal language, a pariia-
ment of man with representatives
from all countries for the settlement
of international disputes, universal
education, perfect civilization found
ed on simplicity and cooperation and
emphasis on the spiritual things Of
life. :,
In this world movement which found
adherents of almost every religion
Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Zoroas-
trianism, Confucianism, Judaism and
Christianity. Almost every race and
country of the globe contributes ad-
herents to the organization for inter
national brotherhood. z
