“The Divine Mission of Pictures,
“The day of the Lord of Hostsshall be , . .
upon all pleasant pictures.” Isa, 2: 12, 18,
PicTuREs are by some relegated to
tlw realm of the trivial, aceidental,
sent mental, or worldly, but my text
shows that God scrutinizes pictures,
amd whether they are good or bad,
whether used for right or wrong pur-
poses, is a matter of Divine observation
and arraignment.
The divine mission of pictures is my
subject,
“That the artist’s pencil and the en-
graver’s knife have sometimes been

DEGRADATION IN ART
which cannot be exaggerated, Satan
and all his imps have always wanted
the fingering of the easel; they would
rather have possession of that than the
art of printing, for types are not so

closely pressed over the patch. The
world-renowned Blahob Asbury had a

the only ones who have endured the
lack of appreciation. Let men of
wealth take ander their patronage the
suffering men of art. They lift no com-
plaint; they make no strike for higher
wages, But with a keenness of nervous
organization which almost always char-
acterizes genius, these artists suffer
more than any one, but God, can re-
alize, There needs to be a concerted

SUFFERING ARTISTS OF AMERICA,
not sentimental discourse about what
we owe Lo arti but contracts that
will give thetn a livelihood; for I am in
full sympathy with the Christian farm-
er who was very busy gathering his fall
apples, and some one asked him to pray
for a posr family, the father of which
had broken his leg, and the busy farm-
er said: “I cannot stop now to pray,
but you can go down into the cellar
and get some corned beef and butter
and eggs and potatoes; that is all I can
do now.” Artists may wish for our
rayers, but they also want practical
elp from mer who cn give them
work. You have heard scores of sere
mons for all other kinds of suffering
men and women, but I think this is the
first sermon ever preached that made a
plea for the sufenng men and women
ot American art. ir work Is more

of their windows and into the back
yard valueless daubs on canvas, and
call in these splendid but unrewarded
men, and tell them to adorn your walls,
not only with that which shall pleass
the taste, but enlarge the mind, and Im-
prove the morals, and save the souls of
those who gaze upon them.
As the day of the Lord of Hosts; ac-
cording to this text, will scrutinize the
pictures, I implore all parents to see that
in their households they have neither in
book Or newspaper or on canvass any-
| thing that will deprave. Pictures are
| no longer the exclusive possession of
| the affluent. 'Lhere is not a respectable
| home in these cities that has not speci-
| mens of woodcut or steel engraving, if
| not of painting, and your whole family
| will feel the moral uplifting or depres-
| sion, Have nothing on your wall or
| in books that will familiarize the young
| with scenes of cruelty or wassail; have
{ only those sketches made by artists in

scenes that seem the product of artistic
deliriem tremens. Pictures are

Deaths rom Lead Volsoning.
ASS
In the list of deaths from poisoning
in Great Britaln—3511 in a single year—
ninety-five, or over one-sixth, were
caused by lead, The people of all elvil-
ized countries are in need of special
caution concerning the use of lead.
Lead pipes, kad faucets, lead solder,
and in many sther forms, lead is a sub-
tle and terrible danger. Thousands
suffer from lead poisoning who do not
die thereby. It should never be used,
when by corrosion it can become an ele-
ment in food or drink. The symptoms
are so easily laid to other causes that it
can do serions mischief before its pres.
ence is suspected, Ita use in red pre-
cipitate as a solder on pipes is specially
dangerous. Next to lead, the cases of
poison most pumerous were from
opium, then fram earbolicacid, Bella.
donna and aleohol, aconite, chlorodyne
and hydrochlorie acid follow in the list
with nearly equal pace, For suicidal
purpose carbolic acid was used in forty-
two cases, morphine, opium and laud-
anum in forty-one. The fashion in
