Anethor perll is the mlsorable condition or the peer who llve In tenement heuses in our large cities. Abject peverty preduces frail bodles.feoblo Intellects and vicious moral.

Celer, form aud sound are the crude ma terial that art works with, but the mere manipulation of these Is net art. Net until we rise te the porceptlon that the beauties or nature are a sign language by which the taste, thought and feeling of an Infinite mind are shown us, and that we may use the sime olemouU or beauty te oxpress our thought and feeling, de we come te a full recognition or art.

If noble living draws us with llke power we shall make the world raldiant with our lives. The add i ess was scholarly and educa tional throughout.
