A Word About Beauty 



spirit of beauty is always fresh. Beauty's great essentials 

 never grow stale. Nothing that God has made is structurally 

 ugly His touch always beautifies, whether in landscape or 

 in life. 



The great Hugo said, ; 'The beautiful is as useful as 

 the useful/' Work that beautifies is useful. The beautifier 

 is a blessing anywhere. Every soul is meant to be a sensi- 

 tized plate to catch the beauty of God as it drifts across the 

 world. It is worth long vigils in day or night to discover. 

 Those who knew John Ruskin tell us that he asked the 

 people around his house to call him from his study by day 

 or from his sleep by night to witness any unusual spectacle 

 in the clouds or the sky. Always, in daylight or dark, 

 beauty is doing something that is worth the seeing.
