There are three figures on the canvas—two n one dimly dis . :,: in the foregroud and,y> cernable in the background. The two prominent ones show .us one ,re - dining on 'a couch, •tate"&ther sitting 'at his feet. She is*gazing tip into' his face; it is master and scholar. This gives us 'an .insight into • the meaning of Christian living. The. first requisite is to' be a learner 'arid Mary's attitude in sitting; at Jesus' feet, expresses humility;' which is the very foundation of Christian living. It is recorded that St. Augustine on being asked what was the first step to Heaven. answered, "literality." and the second "humility,' and the third "humility.." Soo in this picture Mary, in her attitude, embodies all three I steps. I But what of that figure away in. the background? She is evidently, leaving the room, and the story, con- nected with this picture, tells" us she has been in complainiug to ;the, Mas- ter that her sister • was neglecting her work:—"Lord, dost' thou. not- care that my sister hath left me `to serve alone? Bid her therefore that she help me." She went out with new thoughts about life. Never again would she reproach ' lier sister. If she were tempted to do so the gentle gaze, the pleading voice and the re- proving words of the Master would come back to her:—"Martha, Mar- tha, thou art' caleftir and troubled. about many things; but one: thing is needful;, and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.. '.-Tee. t _pi tt e a.. e to t befare us (John 1120-32) shows us that Martha has been ,learning in the school of experience; a great sorrow has come into their lives and she stands now on the same level as the one tubo wascommended for choos- ing the better part. This picture shows an. outdoor scene. At one end of the canvas is a green) of hien on a journey. At the other end is a so- litary figure hastening to meet them, and as she, Martha, conics near with outstretched hands, site cries out to the Master: "Lord, if thou hadst i been here my brotherhad not died." The story tells'how she ran -away e back and said to her sister: "The Master cometh and calleth for thee.
