The wide stretch of canvas facing the Window remained untouched, while the walls of the room were gradually papered with the sketet Summer came and drifted away for the vdvent of autumn, and it was not until Thanksgiving day that the artist mixed his pigments, and prepared his palette and brushes for the great work he was to do. Onee begun the task absorbed him as had ever done. During tho: just passed he had made sketches of the bey who had interviewed the wise men, “both hearing and asking them questions:” of the young man w had worked for years at the carpenter's trade, developing sinew, muscle and sterling manhood; of the man wh a fisherman, when his nds gave themselves up for lost, in the violence of a storm, took them safely to shore; of the man who when the mob threatened him, faced it unflinching demanding that he who was without sin should casi the first stone; of the man who, alone and without human aid, drove the he 4 months of study THE EVENING SPAR, SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 1900-96 PAGES. physique seemed to grow and expand with it, and he painted with an intense energy that he did not know he possessed. It was not until the new year had come and gone that he began to portray upon the canvas the features of this more than man, the most difficult task of all. Time after time he painted it out and began anew, for it was not the accepted idea of Christ as depicted by the old masters that fulfilled his ideal. He wanted the likeness without the humility, the sadness and the despair which make up the legacy that the artists of today inherit from their prede- cessors of medieval times. He wanted the humility of strength, not of weakness; the charity which is a part of conscious power; the forbearance of latent strength of mind and body; the intensity of purpose and tenacity of effort which is born of the de- termination to accomplish, and the knowl- “What do yoa think of it, Roderich? edge that success is certain, and at last he accomplished it. That was about the be- ginning of Lent. When he realized that the picture was completed he covered {t with a sheet and ent his days in long walks upon the country roads, so that during four weeks or more he did not again look upon_ his work. And those who had known Philip Southerland in the past could scarce have recognized him now. One week before the fulfillment of his contract was due, on the morning of the Sunday before Easter, he uncovered the painting for the first time since its com- pletion, He studied it critically, and then, with a sigh of regret that his work was done, he telegraphed to his friend: “Come on Easter morning. The painting is completed,” and on Easter morning Red- erick Doug!as arrived. The early morning bells were ringing out merrily from the steeple of the little coun- try church near by when they entered the studio together. “Stand here,” said the artist, placing his friend on the spot where he himself had passed so many hours studying the work. en he removed the screen, What do you think of it, Roderick?” the tist asked, after a long silenc: “Isee more than you meant that any man should s replied dreamtly, “L your own the work that mh, p done It is Chri: that hb risen within you.
