The monthly social of Fern castle willbe given next Thursday night. An or-chestra of young ladles has been securedfor the event.

Halloween was observedby Fern castle with elab-orate decorations for itsmeeting last Thursdaynight in the FraternnalBrotherhood building.The

hall was adorned with fancy "bugaboo

men" and various other Halloween em-blems. The lights were shaded withyel-low crepe paper and large Jack-o'-lanternshung In conspicuous places. Several can-didates were initiated.

"Iam going where Iam always going,"the answer came back, ponderously, "tomarry by brother George!"— Harper'sWeekly.

The same friend happened to be on thetrain with him, years afterward, when hewas traveling to the second ceremony."I am going to marry my brotherGeorge," the blshpp explained benignly,after the business of greetings was over.Again many years passed, and the sameJourney was taken once more for thesame purpose. By a strange coincidence,'the identical friend ran Into the bishop nsthey hurried through the depot to theirrespective trains. "Where going, bishop?"the former sang out as they graspedhands and dashed by each other.

A well known Virginia clergyman, one-time president of Williamand Mary col-lege, was married three times, and oneach occasion the ceremony was per-formed by his brother, an even more re-nowned bishop. When the first marriaprotook place the bishop had to refuse atempting Invitation from an old frend be-cause—so the letter ran

—"Iam going up

to Willlamsburg on that date to marrymy brother George."

"Christ must be pictured as a superiorand superhuman being; he must at the

same time appear as a true man; his hu-

man characteristics must be perfectlyfree from all evidences of sin or its re-sults; the leading characteristics of love,poverty and patience must also be inevi-dence; the perfect \mion betwen the spir-itually perfect holiness and tho specialhuman conditions of his life must alsoappear; a proper moderation in portray-ing these seomlngly contradictory char-

acteristics must be observed; and, finally,'the beauty of Jesus must be found chieflyin his expression."

traditional type. A somewhat new turnwas given to the debate by the officialaction of the general Lutheran confer-ence of Germany, which requested the ,famous Biblical artist of Neuchatel. Prof.E. Burnant, to outline tne principles ac-cording to which Christ pictures shouldbe drawn. He mentions the followingseven.

in this respect. This writer recalls thatEuseblus, when requested by Constantla,the sister of the emperor, for an authen-tic picture of Jesus, was able to furnishher nothing but two portraits, one claimedto be that of Christ anu the other of.Paul; but both were drawn after the man-ner of the philosophers of the times, withfull beards and lonp hair, which pic-tures, however, were not regarded as por-traits, but rather as symbolical represen-tations of these two men, tho generalcharacteristics being probably derivedfrom the Ideals of the gods entertainadby the classical nations. The fact thatfor historical and Biblical reasons Christshould be pictured without a beard andwithshort hair was not entirely lost evenon later sacred painters. From bothLeonardo da Vinci and Michel Angelo wehave pictures of Christ Jn the final Judg-ment according to this older type.

Among other representatives of relig-ious art who have taken position on thisquestion is also the famous Frederlch yon

Uhde, whose remarkable pictures of scenesIn the life of Christ, in wr.ich he picturesthe Lord amid perfectly modern sur-roundings, have aroused warm discussionsIn church circles for years. But yon Uhdebelieves that, nothistorical, but. Ideal rea-sons should decide how Jesus should bepainted, and on the whole adheres to the

GERMAN artists are endeavoring todetermine how the portrait of the

Savior should be drawn. The tra-ditional semblance of Jesus is conceivedto be a man having a full beard and longflowing hair. This ideal is supposed i.opossess historical accuracy, but Ludwig

Fahrenkrog, the famous painter of re-ligious subjects, contests this point asfollows ina Lelpsic paper:

"The traditional type ht Christ pictures,with full beard and flowing hair, cannotpossibly be a true portrait of the Savior.Christ certainly never wore a board andhis hair was closely cut. For this wehave historical proofs. The oldest repre-sentations of the face of Christ, goingback to the first Christian centuries andfound chiefly in tho catacombs of Rome,all picture him without a beard; but theydiffer to a certain extent with referenceto the hair, the Hellenistic type of Jesuspictures representing him with somewhatlonger hair than does the Alexandriantype. Allthe Christ pictures down to^thebeginning of the fourth century at least,and even later, are of this kind. The fur-ther fact that Christ must inhis day haveworn short hair can be proved from thescriptures. Among the Jews none but theNazarites wore long hair. Christ was in-deed a Nazarene, but not c.N Nazarite; thefacts of his life supporting this view. Tobe a Nazarlte was contrary to his char-acter and spirit; and as it is more thanprobable that he drank wine at times, hecould nothave been a Nazarlte accordingto Numbers 6:3-10. Ifhe was nota Nazar-lte, then like the rest of the Jews hewore his hair short. Further evidence isfurnished by Paul in 1Cor. 11:14, whore itis expressly declared that it is a dishonorfor a man to wear his hair long, some-thing that the apostle would not havesaid had his Master wornit thus."

Naturally the question arises how thischange in the portraiture of the Lordfound its way into the church, says theLiterary Digest in

'commenting on this

discussion. Some information on the sub-ject is furnished by the church historianEuseblus, who lived in the period whenhostility to pictures in the churches hadgained general ascendency among theChristians, and was himself an Iconoclast

This court having a largemembership, and local funds rapidly in-creasing, decided to give the members theHirect benefit by reducing their local pay-ments.
