Curious Examples from the
Salon of the New Thought Painters

Paris, March ~.
TN the Salon des Independents an
American young man who has not long
= hair, who does not look greasy and
artistically dirty, who is not striving
artist who has to wonder from where the
money for his next meal is going to come,
who has known no hardship and has never
struggled has created new school of
painting, which has occasioned mt ch talk
and comment among the connoisseurs of
art in Paris.
The Salon des Independents was organ
lied by artists who thought it unfair to
the public, as well as to the artists, that
any number of human beings, capable of
erring and not infallible, acting as jury,
should say what was art and what the
public should be allowed to see. So the
Salon des Independents was organized.
where any artist may exhibit his works
and allow the public chance to judge
them, and where no recompense in the
way of medals, prizes or honors are given,
allowing the appreciation of the public
alone to compensate for the trouble of
making an exhibit.
In this years exhibit thousands upon
thousands of all sorts and kinds of paint
ings are being exhibited. Among this
number the most interesting to Americans
is the work of this young American men,
toned above. His name is Gerald Muir
ply, son of the famous after-dinner speak
er, Patrick Francis Murphy, of New York.
Gerald Murphy will go down in history as
having been the originator of an entirely

new school of. painting.
Whether this school
will b e considered
classic in the future
and be placed along
side that originated by
other great masters re-
mains to be seen, as
the philosophy is rather
advanced and will have
to be understood.
Gerald Murphy be-
lieves that painting
should be abreast of
the time and follow
tn e progression w e
make in the world. So,
as in the ancient art
religious personages
were taken as subjects
for paintings, to-day,
in this matter-of-fact
life in which we are
submerged, we should
pay attention to the
things closest to us.
1t is really an age of
machinery, and Gerald
Murphy says there is
no reason why we

Minute Sermon

St. John 14:13. And 7yhatofVer ye
shall ask in my name, that zviH | do,
that the Father may be glorifed in the
Son.
ARAYER is divinely authorized. 1t
n is the right of believer to ask
the Father for help in his daily battle
with life. Prayer makes vital the
faith of the Christian. 1t comforts
him in time of trial and strengthens
him in moments of weakness.
Prayer must be conscientiously sim
cere. One meets God in prayer only
when the heart is open to Him. Mere
words are useless and go no higher
than the speakers head.
Prayer should be purely unsel6sh.
How often folks pray, and close with,
''this l ask for. Jesus sake" when the
matter asked for will not glorify Jesus
at all. Be sure of your needs and then
with firm faith ask the Father to sup
ply them. He has promised and His
promises are always kept.

There was Bar-le-Duc visited by
Yanks on leave; Cherbourg, removed
from the battle line but not from the at
mosphere of war; lie Mars, the replace
ment area where fresh contingents re-
ceived intensive training before being

bow Division and the Marine Corps; lie
Harve and Brest, debarkation points,
with their atrocious rest camps, never to
be forgotten by the men who landed at
either.
A memory of wartime France is a
memory that does not bring the pleasant
glow of "reminiscences for it is something
that is best part of the dim and distant
past. 1t is not my intention to dwell upon
matters that are conductive to retrospect
tive thought; the world moves on, leav-
ing behind things that are regrsttable, and
that is best. 1t is simply one case of let
well enough alone, and l hearken to this
advice. France will recover in time, 50
that only a few landmarks will tell of
the great struggle of Imperialism against
Democracy. We look forward to that
time.

PIERIAN CHAUTAUOUA CIRCLE

When a group of men get together and
informally discuss any topic each mem
Der is bound to profit by it. 1t is newt
able. And no group of men ever met
not lead into other avenues of thought
other than the subject-matter allowing,
of course, for none too free deviation
from the original theme; and here, we
might say, is where the parliamentary
procedure that governs the Chautauqua
Circle begins to function; that is to say,
the Chair, weeds out the. chaff from the
wheat, as it were, and keeps the CONVEX
sation and thought progressing along con-
structive and definite lines; permitting,
however,-to sustain the broadness of
thought and learning-the addition of
any matter that may have the slightest
relation, or, affect any part of the topic
chosen for discussion.
In the absence last Sunday of Mr.. II.
c. H., the Circles versatile orator, who,
unwittingly ''locked himself up" and
who was scheduled to deliver a forty
minute talk on 'IIunting and Fishing" it
looked for time like the meeting would
be a dismal failure: but the prompt ac-
ton of both President r. ]. T. and Vice
President F. + P. saved the day. 1t hap
pened in this wise: Mr.. F. T. p. was to

GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION

Governor J. A. o. Preus has issued the
following proclamation for Arbor and
Bird Day:
"A long established custom very appro-
priately DEGREES that we shall set aside
one day each year for special thought to
the planting of trees the proclamation
reads for study of their relation to pub
lie welfare and for attention to the song
sters which inhabit them. Let us remem-
Der that he who plants tree is the SER
want of God, he provides kindness for
many generation, and faces he hath not
seen shall bless him."
wherefore, |, J. A. 0. Preus, governor
Of Minnesota, do hereby designate Friday,
April p, as Arbor and Bird Day.
Our forests supply timber, protect our
watersheds and promote wholesome recrea
ton. With proper care they would be
adequate for these purposes for many gem
erations, but if needless waste by fire lis
permitted they will soon be inadequate
an ever increasing number of our people
are so employed that they do not come Ill
contact with the great outdoors, it be-
comes more and more necessary that we
direct public attention to the Importance
of perpetuating our forests.
Recognizing that our forests are es-
sental to our industrial and commercial
life to our strength as a nation, and to
cur individual we'll being and deporing
the great annual loss by forest fires,
caused by carelessness or thCughtlessness,
President Warren G. Harding has desig-
mated the week of April 1928 as Forest
Protection Week
Let us heed the presidents request that
citizens, teachers, officers of public in
struction, commercial and other associa-
tons and the press, unite in thought and
effort for the preservation of the nations
forest resources by conducting appropriate
exercises and programs and by publish
ing information pertaining to the waste
from forest fires and ways of preventing
such losses
Let us go farther Let us make the
whole week a tree planting and garden
week. Let every man, woman and child
who possibly can, plant a tree, a shrub
and a flower. Let us take steps to reforest
areas not suited to agriculture Let us
surround our homes whether in country
or city, our factories, our public buildings
and Fairgrounds, with fruit and shade
trees and with Towering shrubs and
plants"

read a paper on Immigration" after
which an informal discussion was to be
held and participated in by the entire
body; the President urging that Mr.. F. T.
P.'s essay should be ''literally picked to
pieces" to furnish meat for discussion;
its points, whether good or bad, to be
argued pro and con, and sort of general
debate made OH the subject. All of which
was done, and my! what wonderful re.
suits. Every member had something to
say-and some took very definite stands,
which no amount of expostulation could
weaken. The subjects touched upon in
cidental to the topic Immigration" were:
Jewish Business and Art Slavic Char
acter; Modern Greek Industry; The
Americanism of Foreigners; Big Business
and Foreign Labor; and host of other
questions.
So, you see, Immigration" was re-
sponsible for avery diverting and instruc
tive program; contributing, as l have in
timated in the first paragraph, to the in
divdual learning of Chautaqua members
TO some extent at least.
Of course there were strained moments
when sponsors of various questions waxel
enthusiastic, and the nays with parliamen-
tary brusqueness and hrmness, albeit, pc.
liteness, replied controvertly. And there
were thrills of delight over naive admis-
sions of error and evasive stands on
given questions. But at no time were the
proceedings devoid of interest or whole
hearted coordination.
The session was held in the school roo,c
as usual
After the roll call, reading of the min.
utes, and the distribution of books, the
unique program got under way and never
Jagged moment up to adjournment
1t is a matter of speculation among
several members as to why Mr.. J. NJ. {.
failed to attempt skirmish of retaliation
for the Surprise attack" of a few weeks
back. One is inclined to think that
"leak" developed-in the elaborate plans
for "steam roller" intended by his op
ponents. And, observing the look of
resolution that sat upon the features of
Honorary Member Deputy L. F. Utecht,
who was leading spirit in the recent
soiree, one would conclude that Mr.. J. NJ.
c. displayed unusual sagacity. And that's
that!
The final session of the current season
will be held on Sunday, May 9th, and all
members are requested to comply with the
Presidents instructions regarding the re-
turn of Circle books and supplies on that
date.
A Round Table" program including
every member has been scheduled by the
President for the closing session.
A reading of the critics report was
waived due to lack of time.
