God is the Great Artist. True,
men of great genius have rivaled
even Nature in their scenic master
pieces. Some of these masterpieces
have been greater and more beauti
ful than Nature herself? Hardly,
for God painted the picture first;
men can merely copy.
God painted a sunset. Choosing
water colors as His medium, He
first dipped red; dissatisfied per
haps, He thinned it into pink clouds
against a deep blue sky. From
pink to rose, rose to palest orange,
then into yellow and maybe a little
brown. He brushed until a vast and
veritable r a i n b o w of colors had
blended their variegated hues with
the constant blue of the evening
sky. .
God penciled caricatures in the
clouds. Any old man with a long
white beard may look above him
on a cloudy day and see himself
mockingly portrayed in a floating
mass of visible vapor. A child, day
dreaming in the summer sun and
.gazing lazily at the sky, may de
lightfully perceive a flock of play
ful lambs prancing about the
heavens in a fluffy form. These
ai e not just figures of the irnagi-
n;ition, but comics of clouds created
by God.
(rod drew a city in twilight. With
pen and mk He carefully outlined
Man s massive structures against
His wide horizon, d lie grey of the
big buildings, splotched with deep
black shadows, contrasts just
enough with the Damascus steel
tint of the twilight sky to produce
a distinct profile. God sketched a
moment when ‘‘the busy world was
hushed.”
God depicted people. Each in
dividual is a human canvas, a liv
ing example of His protrait work.
His ingenuity and deft ability are
illustrated in a charcoal of a wrink
led old fisherman, an oil of a ma
jestic royal family, a pastel of a
young Swiss maiden, a tempera of
a Spanish senor at his siesta, or a
crayon of a Bowcrjf bum.
God painted an Autumn forest
in oils. Using the mountains as
His locale, He took for His back
ground the green of the pines,
cedars, and firs and the purple of
the faraway, rolling hills. Here He
dabbed in bold red the oak’s chang
ing cloak, there yellow gave evi
dence of the elm’s slowly ebbing
sap, and everywhere the pale pink
of the late-blooming mountain Rho
dodendron showed its delicate hue.
Who else but an Artist of infinite
genius and skill could have created,
blended, contrasted Nature’s my
riad color schemes and scenes?
Who else but God, the Great Artist.

It makes for a more technical

that Bing is going to change all

whimsy of his novel Tom Jo„
which he published in 1749 **’
This brings to mind the story it
self, which presents a terrible pro
blem; for as has been previoiislv
stated, this novel is so complex
so fraught with incidents that are
at once perilous and laugh-provok
ing, morally suggestive and sin-til-
lating, delightful and didactic, that
one (yoitr reviewer) scarcely knows
where to begin in the telling. How
ever, she has endeavored to con
dense tlie plot into two short, pithy
succinct and concise sent’ences,5
which she shall now quote- “'-i
