The mother shows much interest, and from her store of knowledge clears
up many doubtful points in the mind of her daughter. And so the hours
pass quickly until the father comes home and joins the family circle.

The walls of the room are white, and are relieved here and there by the
most beautiful tapestries. The few furnishings of the room express
beauty through the artistry that is born of Love.

There is a lack of useless furniture and bric-a-brac in the room.

A table, a few chairs and a receptacle for books, also a couch,

The more a created object conforms to the laws of Harmony the more
pleasing it is to the eye.

The artist gives expression to his soul within with paint brush, chisel
or loom, and the quality of his production is proportionate to the
development of his spiritual nature.

All of God's creatures are artists, although only a small percentage of
His evolutionary creatures are able to express materially what lies
hidden in the soul. Hence, a beautifully executed painting, statue or

able to execute their own artistic impressions.

The reason for this is that the average physical makeup is defective
and therefore affords a poor vehicle for the expression of the real
entity. Then again, artistic ability is a question of individual
development.

Primordial man's efforts to depict that which delighted his soul were
crude indeed, compared with the creations of your world's foremost
artists today. But in a relative sense only, for the state o
