. THE MISSION OF ART
A Potent Factor In Uplifting the
Human Race.
REV. T. DeWITT TALMAGE
Preaches on the Influence of
"Pleasant Pictures" In
the Development of
Ghristian Character.
l>r. Talmage shows in this discourse
how art uiny become one of tho mightiest
agencies for the elevation and salvation
of the human race. The text is
Isaiah, ii, 12, 1(>, "Theday of the Lord
of hosts shall ho upon all pleasnnt
iiintnrfiv
Pictures aro l>v somo relegated to the
realm of the trivial, accidental, sentimental
or worldly, but my text shows
that God scrutinizes pictures, and
whether they are good or had, .whether
used for right or wrong purposes, is a
matter of divine observation and arraignment.
The divino mission of pictures
is my subject. '1 hat the artist's
pencil and the engraver's knife havo
sometimes been made subservient to
the kingdom of the bad is frankly admitted.
After the ashes and scoria
wcro removed from llcrculancum and
Pompeii, the walls of those cities discovered
to the explorers a degradation
in art which cannot be exaggerated.
Satan and all his imps have always
wanted the lingering of the easel. They
would rather have possession of that
than tho art of printing, for types arc
not so potent and vuick for evil as pictures.
The powers of darkness think
they have gained a triuuipp, and they
have when in some respectable parlor or
public art gallery they can hang a canvas
embarrassing, to the good, but fascinating
to the evil.
It is not in a spirit of prudery, but
backed up by God's eternal truth, when
1 say that you have no right to hang in
your art rooms or your dwelling houses
that which would be oiTousivo to good
people if the figures pictured were alive
in your parlor and the guests of your
household. A picture that you have to
hang in a somewhat secluded place, or
that in a public hall you cannot with a
group of friends deliberately stand bofore
and discuss ought to have a knife
stabbed into it at the top and cut clcur
through to the bottom and a stout lingor
thrust in on the right side, ripping clear
through to the left. Pliny tho elder lost
his life by going near enough to seo the
inside of Vesuvius, and the farther you
can star.d off from the burning crater of
sin the better. Never till the books of
tho last day are opened shall wo know
what has been tho dire harvest of evil
pictorials and unVinonminCI ?? *
. ?tv 6?IIC1HJD,
Despoil a man's imagination, and he becomes
a mere carcass. The show windows
of English and American cities,
in which the low theaters have sometimes
hung long lines of brazen actors
and actressos in style insulting to all
propriety, have made a broad path to
death for multitudes of people. Hut so
have all the other arts been at timos
suborned of evil. How has music been
bedraggled? Is there any place so low
down in dissoluteness that into it has
not been carried David's harp and Handel's
organ, and Gottschalk's piano,
and Ole Hull's violin, and tho ilutc,
which, though named after so insignificant
a thing as the Sicilian eel, which
has seven spots on the side, like llutc
holes, yet for thousands of years has had
an exalted mission? Architecture,
born in the heart of him who made tho
worlds under its arches and across its
floors, what bacchanalian revelries havo
been enacted! It is not against any of
these arts that they have been so led
into captivity.
What a poor world this would be if it
. were not for what my text calls '"pleasant
piotures!" I refer to your memory
and mine when I ask if your knowledge
of the Holy Scriptures has not been
mightily augumentcd by the woodcut*
or engravings in tho old family Hible
which father and mother read out of
and laid on the table in tho old homostead
when you were boys and girls.
The Hible scenes which we all carry in
our minds were not got from the Hiblo
typology, but from the Hible pictures.
To prove tho truth of it in my own
case, the other day 1 took up the old
family Hible which I inherited. Sure
enough, what I have carried in my mind
of Jacob's ladder was exactly tho Hible
engravings of Jacob s ladder, and so
with Samson carrying oil the gates of
- ' ? "
u?/.a, rjiiHua restoring me Miunammite's
son, the massacre of the innocents.
Christ blossing little children,
the crucifixion and the last judgment.
My idea of all these is that of the old
Bible engravings, which I scanned before
1 could read a word. That is true
with nine-tenths of you. If 1 could
swing open the door of your foreheads,
I would find that you- are walking picture
galleries. The great intelligonco
abroad about the Bible did not como
from the general reading of tho book,
for the majority of the pooplo read it
but little, if thev read it at at all, but all
the sacred scenes have been put before
the great masses, and not printer s ink,
but tho pictorial art, must have tho
credit of the achievement. First,
painter's poncil for the favored few and
then engraver's plato or woedcut for
millions on millions!
What overwhelming commentary on
tho Bible, what re-enforcement for patriarchs,
prophets, apostles and Christ,
what distribution of Scriptural knowl
edge of all nations in the paintings and
engravings therefrom of liolman
Hunt's "Christ In the Templo," Paul
Veronese's "Magdalen Washing the
Feet of Christ, ' Raphael's "Michael
the Archangel,'' Albert Durer's "Dragon
of the Apocalypse," Michael Angelo's
"Plague of the Fiery Serpents,"
Tintoretto's "Flight Into Kgypt," Rubens'
"Descent From the Cross," Leonardo
Da Vinci's "Last Supper,"
Claude s "Queen of Shcba," Bellini's
"Madonna," at Milan; Oroagna's "Last
Judgment" and hundreds of miles of
pioturcs, if they wore put in lino, illustrating,
displaying, dramatising, irradiating
Bible truthf until the Scriptures
are not today so much on paper as on
canvas, not so much in ink as in all the
colors of the spectrum. Jn 1S33 forth

Profess you to be a Christian
man or woman, and see no divine mission
in art, and acknowledge you no
obligation cither in thanks to Cod or
man?
It is no more the word of Cod when
put beforo us in printer's ink than by
skillful laying on of colors or designs on
metal through incision or corrosion.
What a lesson in morals was presented
by Hogarth, the painter, in his two pictures,
"The Lake's Progress' and "Tho
Miser's Feast,'' and by Thomas Cole's
engravings of the "Voyage of Human
Life" and tho "Course of Kmpiro" and
by Turner's "Slave Ship!" Cod in art
Christ in ait' Patriarchs, prophets and
apostles in art! Angels in art! Heaven
in art.
The world and the church ought to
come to the higher appreciation of tho
divine mission of pictures, yet the authors
of them have generally been left
to semistarvation. Wost, tho great
painter, toiled in unapprooiation till,
being a great skater, while on the ice he
formed the acquaintance of Ccncral
Howe of the Hnglish nrmy who through
coming to admire West as a clcvor
skater, gradually came to appreciate as
much that which he accomplished by
his hand as by his heel. Poussin, the
mighty painter, was pursued and had
nothing with which to defend himself
against the mob but the artist's portfolio,
which lie held over his head to
keep ofT tho stones hurled at him. Tho
pictures of Kichard Wilson of Kiu '
were sold for fabulous sums of in t.e>
after bis death, but the living pa; iter
was glad to get for bis "Alcyon j" a
piece of Stilton cbooso. From 1<?I > to
1(5411 there were 4,(500 pictures willlully
destroyed. In the reign of Queen
Elizabeth it was tho habit of some people
to spend much of their time in
knocking pictures to piocos. In tho
reign of Charles I it was ordered by parliament
that all pioturcs of Christ be
burned. Painters were so badly treated
and humiliated in the beginning of the
eighteenth contury that they were lowered
clear down out of tlie sublimity of
their art and obliged to give accounts of
what they did with their colors.
Tho oldest picture in England, a portrait
of Chaucer, though now of great
value, was picked out of a lumber garret.
Croat were the trials of Quontin
Matsys, who toiled on from blacksmith
anvil till, as a paintor, he won wide
recognition. The first missionaries to
Mexico made the fatal mistake of destroying
pictures, for the loss of which
art and religion must ever lament. Hut
why go so far back when in this year
of our Lord to be a painter, except in
raro exceptions, means poverty and neglect,
poorly fed, poorly clad, poorly
honaed, bocauso poorly appreciated?
When 1 hoar a man is a painter, 1 have
two feelings?one of admiration for the
greatness of his soul, and the other of
commiseration for the needs of his body
" Hut so it has been in all departments of
noble work. Some of the mightiest
have been hardly bestead. Oliver
Goldsmith had such a big patch 011 the
coat over his left breast Qthat when lie
went anywhere he kept his hat in his
hand closely pressed over the patch.
The world renowned Bishop Asbury
ha da salary of $.>1 a year, l'aintcrs
arc not the only ones who have endured
the lack of appreciation. Let men of
wealth tako undor their patronage the
suffering men of art. They lift 110
complaint, they make 110 strike for
higher wages Hut with a keenness of
nervous organization which almost
always characterizes genius these artists
suffer more than any one but God can
realize.
There needs to be a eoneortcd effort
for the suffering artist of America, not
sentimental diseourso about what wo
owe to artists, but contracts that will
give them a livelihood, for i am in full
sympathy with the Christian farmer
who was very busy gat .cring his fall
apples and some one asked him to pray
for a poor family, the father of which
had broken his leg, and the busy farmer
said: "1 cannot stop now to pray,
but you ean go down into the eellar and
get some corned beef and butler and
eggs and potatoes; that is all 1 can do
now." Artists may wish for our prayers,
but they also want practical help
from men who can give them work.
You have heard scores of sermons for
all other kinds of suffering men and women,
but we need sermons that make
pleas for the suffering men and women
of American art. Their work is moro
true to nature and life than some of
the masterpieces that havo become immortal
on the other side of the sen but
it is the fashion of Americans to mention
foreign artists and to know little
or nothing about our own Copley and
Allston and Inman and Grecnough and
Kensett. Let tho alllucnt fling out of
their windows and into the hack yard
valueless daubs on canvass and call in
theso splendid but unrewarded men and
tell them to adorn your wails not only
with that which shall please the tasto,
but enlarge the minds and improve the
morals and save the souls of thos? who
gaze upon thorn. All American cities
need great gallories of art, not only
open annually for a few days on exhibition,
but which shall stand open all
tho year round, and fromoarly morning
until 10 o'olook at night, and free to
all who would come and go.
What a preparation for tho wear and
tear of tho day a five minutes look in
the morning at some picture that will
open a door into some larger realm than
that in which our population daily
drudges. Or what a good thing tho half
hour of artistic opportunity on the way
ii - - ?
home in the evening from exhaustion
that demands recuperation for inind
and bouI as well as body! Who will do
for tho city where you livo what W. W.
Corcoran did for Washington and what
others have done for Philadelphia and
HostonandNcw York? Men of wealth,
if you aro too modest to build and endow
such a place during your lifetime,
why not go to your iron safe and take
out your last will and testamout and
make a codicil that shall build for the
city of your rosideneo athrono for
American art? Take some of that
money that would otherwiso spoil your
ohrildreri and build an art gallery that
shall associate your name forever not
only with tho great masters of painting
who arc gone, but with the great masters
who are trying to live, and also
win tho i dmiration and love of tons of
thousands of people, who, unable to
have fine pictures of their own, would
be advantaged. My your benefactions
build your own monuments and not
leave it to the whim of others. Some
of the best people stooping in Orccnwood
have no monuments at all orsomo
crumbling stones that in a few years
will let the rain wash out name and epitaph,
while some men, whoso death
was the abatement of a nuisance, have
a pile of Aberdeen granite high enough
for a king and eulogies enough to embarrass
a seraph. Oh, man of largo
wealth, instead of leaving to the whim
of others your monumental commemoration
and epitaphology, to bo looked
at when people are going to and fr> at
the burial of others, build right down
in tho heart of our great city, or the city
where you live, an iinmeusc free reading
room, or a free musical conservatory
or a free art gallery, tho niches for
sculpture and the walls abloom with
the rise and fall of nations, and lessons
of courage for the disheartened and rest
for the weary, and life for the dead;
and 150 years from now you will be
wielding inlluences in this world fur
good. How much better than white
marble, that chills you if you put your
hand 011 it when you touch it in tho
cemetery, would bo a monument in
colors, in beaming eyes, in living possession,
in splendors which under the
chandelier would be glowing add warm,
and looked at by strolling groups with
catalogue in hand on the January night
when the necropolis where tho body
sleeps is all snowed under!
Tho tower of David was hung with
1,000 dented shields of battle, but you,
oli man of wealth, may have a grander
tower named after you, one that shall
be hung not with the symbols of carn.-go,
but with tho victories of that art
which was so long ago recognized in my
text as "pleasant pictures." Oh, the
power of pictures! I cannot deride, as
some have done, Cardinal Mazarin who,
when told that lie must die, took his
last walk through the art gallery of his
paiacc saying: "Must I quit all this?
Look at that Titian! Look at that
Corroggio! Look at that deluge of
Caraceil Farewell, doar pictures!"
As the day of the lord of hosts, according
to this text, will scrutinize the
pictures, 1 implore all parents to sic
that in their households they have
neither in book nor newspaper nor on
canvas anything that will deprave. Pictures
are no longer the exclusive possession
of the aOlucnt. There is not a respectable
home in these cities that has
not specimens or woodout or steel engraving,
if not of painting, and your
whole family will feel the moral uplifting
or depression. Have nothing 011
your wall or in books that will familiarize
the young with scenes of cruelty
and was sail; have only those sketches
inado by artists iu elevated moods and
none of tlnso scones that seem the product
of artisticdelirium trcmons. Pictures
arc not only a strong but a universal
language. The human race is divided
into almost as many languages as
thero arc nations, but the pictures may
speak to people of all tongues. Volapuk
many have hoped, with little reason,
would become a worldwido language;
but the pictorial is always a worldwide
language, and printers' types have 110
emphasis compared with it. Wo say
that children are fond of pictures; but
notice any man when lie takes up a
book, and you will see that the lirst
thing that he looks at is the pictures.
Have only those in your house that appeal
to the better nature. One engraving
has sometimes decided an oternal
destiny. Under tho title of fine arts
there have come here from France a
class of pictures which elaborate argument
has tried to prove irreproachablo.
They would disgrace a barroom, and
they need to bo confiscated. Your
children will carry the pictures of their
father's house with them clear on to the
grave, and, passing that marble pillar,
will take them through eternity.
Furthermore, let all reformers and all
Sabbath school teachers and all Christian
workers realize that, if they would
be cllcctivc for good, they must mako
pictures, if not by chalk 011 blackboards
1 1
ui Kiuuurgurion ucsigns or oy pencil on
canvas, then bywords. Arguments arc
soon forgotten, but pictures, whether in
language or in colors, arc what produce
stronger cllects. Christ was always tell
ing what a thing was like, and his sermon
on tho mount was a great picture
gallory, beginning with a sketch of a
"city on a hill that cannot be hid," and
ending with a tempest beating against
two houses, one on tho rock and the
other on the sand. The parable of the
prodigol son, a picture; parable of the
sower, who went forth to sow, a picture;
parable of the unmerciful servant, a
picture; parablo of the ten virgins, a
picture; parable of the talents, a picture.
Tho world wants pictures, and the appotitc
begins with the child, who consents
to go early to bed if the mother will sit
beside him and rehearse a story, which
is only a picture.
When wo seo how much has been accomplished
in sooular directions by pictures?Shakespeare's
tragedies, a picture;
Victor Hugo's writings, all pictures;
John Kuskin's and Tennyson's
and Longfellow's works, all pictures?

Yea, why not all young rnon draw for

they profor that, of vice if thoy prefer
that? After making tho picturo, put
it on tho wall or pasto it on tho tly leaf
of somo favorito book, that you may
havo it biforo >ou. I read of a man
who bad been exeoutcd for murder, and
the jailer found aftorwaad a pioturo
made on the wall of tho coll by tho assassin's
own hand, a picturo of a flight
of stairs. 0a the lowest stop he had
wrltton, "Disobcdionco to parents; on .
the second, "Sabbath breaking;" on the
third, "Drunkenness aud gambling,"
on the fourth, "Murder," and on the
fifth and top stop, "A gallows. If
that mun had made that picture before
ho took the first step, he never would
havo taken any of Ili3tn! Oh, man,
make another picture, a bright picture,
an evangelical picturo, and I will help
you ntako it! 1 suggest six steps for
this flighr of stairs. On tho first step
write the words, "A nature changed by
the Holy (Jhost and washed in the blood
of tho Lamb;" on tho seoound stop,
"Industry and good companionship;"
on the third step, "A (Jharistian home
with a family altar;" on tho fourth step,
" Kvcr widening usefulness;" on the fifth
step. "A glorious departuro from this
world;" on the sixth stop, "Heaven,
I I' * Urj, . \ . i
iiuuveu; ?> rue u tlircc tiuios, anil
let the letters of the one word be mado
up of banners, llie second of coronets
and the third of thrones! 1'romise mo
that you will do that, and 1 will promise
to meet you on the sixth step, if the
Lord will, through his pardoninggraco,
bring me there too.
And hero 1 am going to say a word
of cheer to people who have never had a
word of consolation on that subject.
There are men and women in this world
by hundreds of thousands who have a
lino natural taste, and yet all their
lives that taste has been suppressed,
and, although they could appreciate
the galleries of Dresden and Vienna and
Naples far more than nine hundred and
ninety-nine people out of a thousand
who visit them, they may never go, for
they must support their households, and
bread and schooling for their children
arc of more importance than pictures.
Though fond of music, they are compelled
to live amid discord, and, though
fond of architecture, they dwell in
clumsy abodes, and, though appreciative
of all that engravings and paintings
can do, they arc in perpetual deprivation.
You arc going, after you get on
tho sixth step of that stair, just spoken
of, to find yourselves in tho royal gallery
of tho universe, the concentered
splendors of all worlds before your
transported vision. In some way all
tho thrilling scenes through which wo
and tho church of God have passed in
our earthly state will be pictured or
brought to mind. At a cycloratua of
Gettysburg a blind man who lost his
sight in that battle was with his child
heard talking whilo standing before that
picture.
The blind man said to the daughter,
"Arc there at tho right of tho picture
some regiments marching up a hill?"
"Yes," she said. "Well," said tho
blind man, "is there a general on horseback
leading them on?" "Yes," she
said. "Well, is there rushing down on
theso men a cavalry charge?" "Yes,"
was tho reply. ""And do thcro seem to
bo mauv dvintr and dead?" "Vn?. " wn? 1
the answer. "Well, now, do you see a
shell from the woods bursting near the
wheel of a cannon?" "Yes," she said.
"Stop right thoro!" said the blind man.
"That is the last thing I ever saw on
earth! What a time it was, Jenny,
when I lost my oyosight!" Hut when
you, who have found life a hard battle,
a very Gettysburg, shall stand in the
royal gallery of heaven and with your
now vision begin to seo and understand
that which in your earthly blindness
you could not seo at all, you will point
out to your celestial comrades, perhaps
to your own dear children who have
gone before, the scenes of the earthly
conflicts in which you participated, saying:
"There from that hill of prosperity
I was driven back, in that valley of
humiliation I was wounded. There 1
lost my eyesight. That was tho way
the world looked when I last saw it.
Hut what a grand thing to get celestial
vision and stand here before the cyclorama
of all worlds while tho rider on
the white horse goes on 'conquering and
to conquer,' tho moon under his feet
and the stars of heavon for his tiara!"
A Good Hot Weather Item.
Something new in trusts is the liquid
air trust, for which articles of incorporation
have been tiled in Delaware on a
capital of $10,000,000. Few of us had
supposed that the liquid air business
had reached that stage. It is only a ?
step to an air trust that shall control
the atmosphere and rent air meters to
go with every pair of lungs. The liquid
air chaps, it may be added, propose to
supplant tho ice dealers. One gallon
of the liquid air is equal to a ton of
ice, one ton will keep a house down to
00 degrees on the hottest days. Such
is the talk of the incorporation. A gallon
or two of the stuff would have been
a great boon to us during the recent hot
wave.
Is it the best? Taste and see. Host
in taste, best in results. No nausoat*
