Using again Bacon'a method of experiment wnd observation, the modern man views the world as an embodiment of the beauty of a great artist, scholnt and architect. Painting docs not mean color, but beautiful color. Literature does not mean the truth, but it means beautiful truth.

Architecture is not house building, it is beautiful building. And whatever is done by the world builder Is beautifully done. Not a blade of grass but Is fluted like a sword of Damascus. Not a sweetbriar but must have Its pink rose. The loveliness of the golden clouds, of the wind swept moors, of the advancing waves, of the autumn forest, of the swaying wheat, the beauty in the face of tile young mother and her babe all thla is the despair of artists.

Some astronomers explain the pull of gravity between the earth and Hie sun by saying that the earth is a rmiEs of niclren matter, that once was flung off from Hie sun, that has now coded Into a habitable world and that the- drawing of gravity means that the earth wishes to return to its old home. Because man is made In the Image of God, the Beloved Disciple callB man a young god, and therefore the soul Is restless until It finds rest in Him from whom it came. If there are but two self-evident realities in the universe God and the soul, there is an element of silence and of mystery about both. The soul Is secret, invisible, coneei'led behind flesh and tissue.

When offered a reward for conformity, the aged, priest, with a great shout of protest, rushed upon and killed a renegade Jew who was attempting to offer the sacrifice, while his sons struck down the officers. After leveling the altar they all fled to the mountains and raised the standard of revolt. After a few months of guerilla warfare Mattathlas died, after appointing Judas to succeed him as leader of the revolutionary forces.
