Hoosier Pain

By EMMA RIVERS MILNER » Times Chureh Editor : IT PLEASES the John Herron Art Museum at Christmas time to remind the home folk that a Hoosier artist painted Madonnas before the turn of the century. That was at a period when themes other than religious ones

claimed the -attention of most"

painters, .

Jacob Cox, who came to Indianapolis in 1833 and lived here until his death 59 years later, painted various Madonnas. ligious painting, however, was an avocation, He earned his living executing portraits of local persons, Mr. Cox was born in New Jersey. rit The Herron Museum says this artist did not achieve fame with his religious studies. But Herron speaks of them as having gentle,

homey qualities and dear to the .

hearts of Hoosiers.” . 3 » n ” THE MUSEUM owns one of these, now on display there, reproduced in connection with this

story. It shows Mary, the Christ Child, little St. John and Joseph in the background a bit difficult to see.- It is thought Mr. Cox probably invited some of his neighbors in to sit for the picture. And no doubt they were flatteréd and pleased to do so, Judging by the expressions on the faces. The State of Indiana owns six portraits of governors painted by Mr. Cox. And various Indianapolis persons - number his pictures among their art objects. The list of such owners includes: Eli Lilly, William George Sullivan, George W. Childs, Mrs. Henry Bliss, Mrs. Willlam H. Tefft, Mrs. Hugh Carpenter, Mrs. Jesse Fletcher, Mrs. J. Raymond Lynn, Mrs. Macy W. Malotte, Mrs. Carlos Recker, Mrs. Ferris Taylor, Miss Ellen Graydon, Miss Anna Hasselman and Miss Anna H. Spann,

Scripture: “For unto you is . born this day In the city of David a Saviour which is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:11.

CHRISTMAS is here again — everybody knows that. But what does its coming mean? KEveryoneought to know that, Certainly -we know it has- meant long hours at the stores, booming sales, myriads of Santa Clauses with their synthetic facés and baggy pants. We know that it means vacations, social events, flat pocketbooks, happy hearts, gifts, cards, and being at home with our loved ones. But what is its deeper mean ing? Above all, we need to be conscious of the realities that lie back of this annual Christian festival.

There is one verse out of

‘|=the greatest story ever told

which provides an excellent text for a consideration of the meaning of Christmas. “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour who is Christ the Lord.” We cannot really know who was born on Christmas day until we understand what was born. Now in the perspective of our 1950 years, we can see more clearly what came into our world on Christmas.

Just as we can look back

«| to the work of Alexander Gra-

ham Bell with the telephone, or of Samuel Morse, with the telegraph, or Marconi with the wireless, and see the revolutionary implications” for future world relationships, so we can look to Bethlehem and see the beginnings of a new age, Christmas is the constant reminder of the great things that were born when Christ came into the world.

FOR ONE thing, we now know that there was born in Bethlehem on Christmas day

‘and a third is peace with one's fellows, Today our world is peace consclous at every one of these levels. It seeks to be at one with the spiritual universe. It is urgently pursuing every way - to “peace of,mind,” or inner wholeness and security. We know that peace among nations has become the condition of survival, Peace among groups has become the condition of stability in life.

The Messiah's birth is then a . matter of rejoicing, for in it lies all of the blessed hopes of the years with their dreams of peace on earth, good will among men, Christ brought to this world in His own person and His teachings a way of life that enables us to achieve such peace. There was also born in Bethlehem when Christ came into our world a new conception of the individual's worth, which has given dignity to human life. One of the basic problems in our day is collectivism versus individualism. The problem is made pertinent not only by the fact that the two dominant powers of the world stand at the opposite poles, but that within our own life as a nation many {issues are coming up which involve the rights of ly called, “The Prince of Peace,” the individuals and the control

only does Christianity speak to all ‘people—it seeks peace on earth. Peace is one of the great comprehensive words of the Bible. It means wholeness,

tains the idea of well-being and prosperity. It means peace as opposed to war and concord as opposed to strife.

demnatlon “or criticism .in the light of His teachings which does not give supreme value and worth/to each individual; and keep inviolate those personal rights with which he was endowed by his Creator. , We find in the manger of Bethlehem no blueprint for the social order, or the political system under which men should live, Such things are not a part of the vocabulary of Christmas. But the basic principle of human worth and dignity, which lies at the heart of Christmas, is the solid rock upon which the systems that endure must build themselves. We believe it provides the basis of our democracy. - So; as we observe the great .occasion once again, let us remember that it is ndt only the exaltation of one child, but ofall humanity, because “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
