puling, invalid" into useful members
of society, whose healthy minds have
regulated sick bodies. The sect is
spreading and until' it ceases to grow
it will meet persecution astheQua
k2rs di 1. It is too late to tie them to
the cart wheel, to burn and to flog
them, but not too late for denuncia
t jry and wrathful sermons from min
isters who are supimsed to be engaged
in spreading the gospel of love. All
C mstians believe that the spirit is
confined only for a little while in clay,
yet the antagonism toward the only
body of Christian whoentirely ignore
the clay for the spirit, is growing. Yet
such antagonism, instigated .v liR
isters who fear a decrease in their
own congregations, is too self-inter-estsd
to atfiet the multitude.
The purchase of a large church in
this city by the persecuted sect seems
to have aroused preachers who have
occupied real meetinghouses foryeais
to vigorous rebuke. That the Chris
tian Scientists should dare to moe
out of a down-town hall into an up
town sanctuary built with a spire,
rose windows, and furnished with
real pews, a pulpit aad other sacerdo
tal appointments, is claiming an en
vironment to which the Baptist and
Methodist parsons, for a long time
settled in imposing stone and brick
structures, do not consider them en
titled. Hence their sermons of last
Sunday. But as time goes on the
Christian Scientists, like all organiza
tions begun in poverty and humility,
since the time of the Begging Friars,
will acquire proierty of their own,
and the other denominations will
have grown accustomed to recognizing
their existence. Then when some new
expression of the teachings of Ch list
will begin to form in resimnse to a
demand which the other churches do
not till, the preacher occupying the
pulpit of the F r,t Christian Science
church, cor. K and Fourteenth streets,
will feel it his duty to warn his peo
ple on the very dangerous character
of the doctrine and practices of the
new sect. Thus runs the world away,
and thus far do late disciples get from
the founder of the doctrines, whese
letter they still keep.

The Haydon Art club's efforts to
interest the jieople in the exhibition
which will ojkmi tonight in the gallery
of the library room at the university
have met with a universal response
from the icople. The enthusiasm
with which everybody appealed to
has responded, shows the demand
which exists fur just such a midwinter
exhibit of the best pictures by the
best artists. All railroads will give
special rates, so that everybody in the
state who is interested or who desires
to be interested in such things, may
not miss the exhibit. A corner of the
room will be devoted to examples of
the work of local art students. Visi
tors to previous exhibits made by the
Haydon Art club have recognized the
good work of some of the local artists
the quicker when it was placed beside
tLe work of men who deserve their
medals. T.iere is much work that has
been exhibited that should never
have had the privilege of being hung
en any walls. But it was worth while
hanging it in juxtaposition tojpicturos
if by that means the dauber was able
to recognize the worthlessncss of his
own work. Art exhibits are not held
for the purpose of encouraging every
body to go and do likewise. Quite the
contrary Itis hoped that it willdis
courage creation and awaken appre
ciation of that which is truly beauti
ful in color and form. Only a few can
create, but everybody with five senses
Cm enjoy the works of genius.'A cre
ative intellect is debarred oftentimes
from enjoying the work of others.
The receptive mind enjoys the works of
the poet, the artist and the musician
to the full. This exhibit is really for
the purpose of encouraging and prop
agating receptivity, for opening our
too provincial minds to a beauty cre
ated by the aristocracy of genius,
which will ever be limited. "The en
nobling power of an open mind sub
jected to the influence of the works o
genius cannot be overestimated. Be
tween the mind (f an idiot a id the
mind capable of appreciating the glo
ries of Shakspere, there is only a dif
ference in receptivity. It is only
given to a few to enlarge the horizons
of other men. and for gocdncss sake
let us embrace the opportunity af
forded by these pictures to widen our
vision.
