A THING OF BEAUTY IS JUOY fOREVER Full Text of tho Address Delivered Ity Joaquin Miller at the Florence Rhododendron Festival. B" EAUTY IS civilization's god of Idolatry. Civilization began when the adoration of beauty be gan. Beauty of soul, character, that cleanliness which Is next to godli ness, is oi course the supreme beauty; but we are hero to celebrate material beauty; to celebrate that which is "pleasant to the sight." Almost In tho very beginning of the Bible the Sth verse of the second chapter it is written "And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden in which Ho caused to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food." Please observe that the trees that are pleas ant to the sight camo first, were planted first by the hand of God in the Garden of Eden. Tho trees good for food came last. Let this bo borne in mind forever. The tree that is pleasant to tho sight stands first In favor with the Creator of this wondrously beautiful world. And let us remember always that he who plants a tree that is "pleasant to the sight" plants for every one who has tho capacity or the culture to appre ciate it. It belongs to the good God who planted it in the garden of Eden. The tree that is good for food we plant for only ourselves. A generation ago I heard a great sermon at Geneva, preached from tho text quoted, in which the learned divine asserted that this ancient Greek rose tree, rhododendron, was surely one of the trees pleasant to the sight, and I truly believe that this tree, this flower we here cele brate has come directly down to us from tho Garden of Eden. It is the most universal flower on the face of the globe. As for its beauty, with lifted face its rich, its rosy, laughing lips speak forever in every land only the language of love and beauty. This Rose tree, not higher than your knee, Is the Alpine rose of Switzerland. Ten thousand feet above the sea, the Swiss Alps blaze and gleam in tho sun almost up to the snows of Mt. Blanc with this Alpine Rose. Yet on tho mountains of Ceylon, under the path of the sun, this same rose tree of tho Garden of Eden, attains to nearly one hundred feet in height and is used by the British there as Hiram of Tyro used the cedars of Lebanon. On tho banks of the -Jordan where It com panions with tho llllles of tho valley, It is known as the Rose of Sharon. If ever tree or flower reserved rev erence or honor because of ancient place and pedigree, surely this storied Greek Roso tree that is said by learned men to have come down to us out of the Garden of Eden, is that tree and flower. I congratulate you with all my heart for having chosen this flower, this flower from your fields, from your door yards. I honor the giant young state of Washington for having the wisdom and tho rare good taste to make it hor banner flower. In the, great park of the National Capitol you see this flower in all the hues of the rain bow, by the streams, up tho steeps and deep down in the arroyos, plant ed by the hand of the Infinite away back in the morning of tho world when He said "Let there be light." On Mt. Shasta, up against the snow line, this flower is as fair and white as the llllles under foot and the trunk of the tree Is so tall and strong that it is or was when I was a lad, a sheltering place for elk In time of storm. On the Alleghany mountains It is a hardy little tree and the flower is blue, white and purple. In truth, if there is a cli mate that this flower has not in habited since its first planting in Eden or a color of any kind that it has not exulted in, I do not know where it is or what it is. Tho real truj, genuine civilization of California began only a few years ago when tho ladles there decided to hold a flowur festival and asked all tho world to see. It was then that California began to see beauty, to talk beauty, to build beauty. Tho civilization of Oregon began last year at tho glorious celebration of roses. It was tho most inspiring, refining, civilizing sight I over be held; and I have wandered far and wldo. I havo been spending the last month along with great battleships, and all honor to these noble univer sities for tho education of our com ing captains of tho sea, but that Portland roso festival was more to me than all tho battleships of earth. For only beauty was to bo seen there, only refinement was to bo met with there, only lovers of tho beaut fill wero gathered thorn: nnd n CI gooa can como or bucu scenes '"'i pjrxri nmt. are pleasant to tho sight. You toll me you cannot read the book of beauty as I do. Did you ever try? How long did It take you to learn your alphabet, and yet you hope to read the book of nature at sight. No, you cannot. This nnrt. less, unbound book of nature is truly the book of books and only when wo have done with life, do wo truly begin to understand it . Tho man or woman who truly loves and Hve3 beauty, gets twice, thrice as much out of life as others. Not only that but a true lover of nature outlives all others. The longest lived peo ple on earth are the astronomers. They not only see the beauty of the earth but of tho heavens also. Michael Angelo, In his old age was found in tho twilight alone leaning on a big block of marble, which they still show you In Rome. As he was led away he burst Into tears. Being questioned why, he answered "Oh, but I saw such a beautiful form away down there in that rough block of marble that I weep because that I am no longer young, young and strong enough to reveal and glvo it to the world. There Is not a rock or block anywhere that has not its hid den form of .beauty, only we have gone after strange Gods. We want only tho trees that are good for food. We have forgotten till this day, this hour, "the trees that are pleasant to the sight." Of all the nations that have marched across tho pages of history, only the lovers of beauty have lived. The Greeks loved beau ty; they lived beauty and so It is they still and will continue to live as long as history can hand down their love of beauty in story and in song. The Jews loved "he lilies of the field, the roses of Sharon and so they too have lived and their Bible along with the story of Greece In the liter ature of civilization. Tho ancient Druid Priests loved and adored the mighty oak trees; and out of this love of strength and majesty grew a mighty nation. But what of all tho nations that have perished? Dig down into the ruins of India, Egypt, Mexico and you find only hideous idols, monstrous images as ugly as men could conceive. Greece only of all the nations, Greece who glori fied and sang and celebrated their rose tree, has lived, still lives In her images of beauty. China the oldest nation In history, the Inventor of gunpowder, the printing-press and the mariner's compass has perished or is perishing from tho pages of history because she set up in her temples a monstrous Joss, a monster as hideous as she could conceive, and burned incense before it. And so the Chinaman for all his industry and invention and art continues to be a helpless heathen, a heathen who dedicates his temples to hideous monsters instead of to things of beauty, as here today, Tears of pity Tor the man or wo man who will not accept this truth. "And God looked upon all He had made and behold it was very good." I am afraid of the man who does not love flowers. I am afraid of tho man or woman who does not seo some beauty in everything. For every thing under the path of tho Bun Is beautiful or trying to bo beautiful. The loathsome caterpillar is simply an unborn butterfly. In California the butterfly is called the mariposa, the Virgin Mary's flower. Shakespeare says "that man who hath not music in his soul and Is not moved by the harmony of sweet sounds is fit for treason, Btra tagem and spoils." And bo I say again God's pity for any person, "who does not lovo beauty. Sucb a life is a. failure, such a person is Indeed fit for treason stratagem and snoils.

Hero at our feet surges tho sea of all seas: But where and what are the Fortunate Isles? You sail and you seek for the For tunate Isles, The old Greek Isles ot the yellow bird's song; Then steer straight on through the watery miles, Straight on, straight on, and you can't go wrong, Nay, not to tho left, nay not to the right, But on, straight on and tho Isles are in sight, Tho old Greek Isles where the yellow birds sing And life lies girt in a golden ring. Nay, never look back, those level grave stones, They were landing steps, they were steps unto thrones Of glory for souls that have gone before, And have set white feet on the un tunato shore. And what are tho names of the For tunate Isles? Why beauty and lovo and a large content. Aye, these are the Isles of the watery miles That God let down from the firma ment; Beauty and love and a true soul's trust, Your forehead to God though your feet in the dust Duty to man and to God meanwhlles. And these ah! these are the For tunate Isles. Church Work. The twentieth century fund of the Free Methodist church in England has now reached the sum of over $500,000. while the silver wedding fund of the same church amounts to more than 150,000. The First Presbyterian church waB organized nt Atlanta in 1852, and In the past fifty-six years twelve other congregations have been organized from it, with a total membership of over 4,000. Rev. Angus Bethune, vicar of Sea ham, who has just attained the ago of ninety-seven, is believed to be the old est clergyman in England still ful filling active duties. He was ordained in 1841 and has held his present charge since 1859. Tho Episcopal diocese of Louisiana is now In charge of Bishop Klnsolv lng of the diocese of Texns because of the illness of Bishop Scssums of Now Orleans, who has been forced to relinquish his work nnd go to Europo for a long rest.

Port Esslngton, June 1, 1908. British Columbia. To tho Editor of The Times, I take this means of letting you all know that I have arrived at this port after a very pleasant and un eventful trip. Wo came via steamer Breakwater, Marshfleld to Portland; via Northern Pacific railway, Port land to Tacoma; via steamer India napolis, Tacoma to Seattle; via steamer Iroquois, Seattle to Vancou ver, B. C, and via steamer Vadso, Vancouver to this port. The scenery was beautiful all tho way especially tho trip all the way from Tacoma north as it is all Inland water ex cepting about a threo hours run on Queen Charlotte Sound. Tho lar gest steamer afloat can travel through these channels at any stage of tide and somo places a person can almost jump ashore. Tho weather was very pleasant on tho whole. Wo could not settle at Princo Rupert as the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company aro making a new survey and restaklng tho site for tho city which will not be com pleted until September 1st when the lots will be plnced on tho market. I believe that Princo Rupert will be a very large and prosperous city as It has everything in storo to help it become such. Tho harbor Is na turally equipped for tho largest vessels afloat to como in at any timo or tide and find shelter and anchor ago. The land lays low for a short dlstanco from tho water and then slopes gradually about a mile tp tho baso of a mountain situated in tho centre of tho Island. The city slto is situated on Kalen Island, about 20 miles north of the mouth of the Skeena river. Tho railway is being graded and work is quite brisk along the lino of grade but there is not much work for newcomers at Prince Rupert as there was quite a rush of people who went thoro about a month ago and they have not scattered out much yet, although things will be good thoro when the lots aro put on sale. Thoy have about 2,000 acres of the townslto cleared now and will double that by September 1st. I do not know what lots will sell for but will notify you lator on when I find out myself. Thoro is a great deal of traffic to tho interior at present as navigation is open to Hazelton, 150 miles up the Skeena river and from that point Is whore tho best chances aro for homeseekers on ac count of the good Btretches of wheat and stock land. I expect to havo nows soo), from the now placer min ing country on Flndlay river, which has proved very rich so far. Will send more news later on if you can sparo spaco for tho same. Wo aro all well and getting along nicely. I have no more news of interest at present so will close, wishing you all health and prosperity, I remain, Respectfully, H. C. BRECKENRIDGE, Port Esslngton, B. C. , SHORT STORIES. ' The average ago at death of people who die by accident Is thlrty-flvo and a half years.
