The latter is not only preferable on practical grounds; it is the only position theoreti- cally compatible with the Christian principle itself. How can a Christian, who accepts Jesus' law of brotherhood, be indifferent to art? That law requires that so far as strength and time ad- mit, the interests and concerns of each of the members of the Kingdom shall be the interest and the concern of all. It is the Christian's duty, as it is his highest privilege, to understand and sympathize with everyth...ing by which his brother's life is enlarged and enriched. How, then, can he be indifferent to the joy of the artist in creation or of the art lover in appreciation? But the Christian principle reaches farther still. We have some- thing to give as well as to receive, something without which art cannot realize its highest mission, namely, the vision of that su- preme harmony which unifies all life, and helps us to discover in regions of experience, which, seen without the illumination of the Christian principle, would seem partial, distorted, and therefore ugly, the beauty of holiness and the glory of sacrifice.
