CAMERA CLUB EXHIBITS WORK N01ED BRITISH J One of the growing cultural Insti tutions for old and young In Med ford U the Camera club. This organiza tion, thanks to the public spirited efforta of a small group of artistically Inclined citizens, la growing rapidly and materially stimulating Interest fn art of all kinds, particularly among the younger people of the city. Meetings are held the third Thurs day In each month In the court house auditorium. This coming Thursday the public Is Invited to see an Inter esting exhibition of famous English pictures. To make this exhibit even more Interesting the Tribune will print each day until then a short sketch of the famous artists whose works will be shown. Today's artist 1 the fnmtous William Hogarth. William Hogarth was bora In Lon don In 1807. Ills father was a school master, a llternry hack; and never very prow porous financially. The son was sent to school but It Is said hla exercises there were more remarkable for the ornaments which adorned them than for the exercise Itself, and before long he was apprenticed to a silver-plate engra r. At 33 he apt up as engraver on nls own account. He trained himself to an unexampled eye memory and tenacity of minor detsll which he considered more Im portant than drawing from life. He studied some technique, at Sir James Thornhlll's art school and later mar ried Sir James' only daughter. After' engraving arms, shop bill, plate for book sellers, he engraved a number of book Illustrations. From the first he showed clever satire or burlesque and covert humor on the follies and fol bias of him time. He painted several series of moral pictures In oil, most of them not over 12 or 10 Inches high; one series In the lower walks of life, another In the middle classes, and "Marriage a la Mode," a set f occur rences In high life, showing the mis erable tragedy of an ill-assorted mar riage, each of the three being a nar- ratlve In pictures. He was also an I excellent portrait painter. During his life his portraits were most success ful, but later he has been better known for his other paintings. "I wished," said Hogarth, "to com. pose pictures on canvas, similar ta represenatlon on the stage to treat my subject a a dramatic writer; my pictures as the stage, and men and women players, who by means of cer tain actions and gestures are to ex hibit a dumb show. Hogarth has never been equaled as a humorist and satirist upon canvas In the exposure of folly and wicked ness, and as an "author" may be placed with the Thackerays and Field -lngs. the Corvantes and Molleres.

Fred M. Weatherford, pastor evan gelist, speaking last night on the topic: "Grasping Essentials to Eter nal Life," at the Church of the Nae arene, drew his message from I. Tim. 6:13: ' Fight the good flht of Faith, lay hold of Eeternal rjfe, wherunto thou art called." In part, the speaker said: . "The other day when I was returning from Kansas City, There I attended the general board meeting of our denom ination, the following bit of life philosophy came to me: "The thing that makes a man a man Is not the stuff that completes bis height, or makes him broad; nor yet a certain weight. It Is not his face or his race; it's not has he been to school or no. The thing that makes a man a man 1s the recon struction act of God Have you been born again, and yet another thing, sanctified cleansed from Inbred sin? "The thing that really makes a man a man Is a certain weave, of moral fiber built. That something by which he chooses right, when wrong Is bidding strong. So the secret of making a man a man Is Ood His precepts taught, His laws obeyed. Ood only makes man snew, and ftls him for a plaoe shore the blue. If to Him you are alwaya true, another thing, you will know the Joy of manhood, too." Not the text Is a call to spiritual life: 'Lay hold on eternal life where unto thou srt called.' The antithesis of eternal life Is eternal death. Hence, the call Is for a preparation to eter nal life. The natural trend Is a grooming for eternal death. "Calvary Is the Ineffacable remedy for man's sin cure. "Much of the Ills In society today comes ss a result of painter's colic Incident lipstick.
