ge—forever and ever. The eaglehastens to its prey, but we shall in speed beat the eagles. You have noticed thevelocity of the swift horse under whose feet the miles slip like a smooth ribbon,and as he passes the four hoofs strike the earth in such quick beat, your pulsestake the same vibration. But all these things are not swift in comparison withthe motion of which I speak. The moon moves 54,000 miles in a day. Yonder, 2S6 THE PATHWAY OF LIFE. Neptune flashes on ii,ooo miles in an hour. Yonder, Mercury goes 109,000 milesin an hour. So, like the stars, the Christian worker shall shine in swiftness ofmotion. You hear now of fathei, 01 mother, or child sick 1000 miles away, andit takes you two days to get to them. You hear of some case of suffering thatdemands your immediate attention, but it takes you an hour to get there. Oh, thejoy when you shall take starry speed, and be equal to 100,000 miles an hour.Having on earth got used to Christian work, you will not quit when death strikes

By the last decades of the 16th century, the refined Mannerism style had ceased to be an effective means of religious art expression. Catholic Church fought against Protestant Reformation to re-establish its dominance in European art by infusing Renaissance aesthetics enhanced by a new exuberant extravagance and penchant for the ornate. The new style was coined Baroque and roughly coincides with the 17th century. Baroque emphasizes dramatic motion, clear, easily interpreted grandeur, sensuous richness, drama, dynamism, movement, tension, emotional exuberance, and details, and often defined as being bizarre, or uneven. The term Baroque likely derived from the Italian word barocco, used by earlier scholars to name an obstacle in schematic logic to denote a contorted idea or involuted process of thought. Another possible source is the Portuguese word barroco (Spanish barrueco), used to describe an irregular or imperfectly shaped pearl, and this usage still survives in the jeweler’s term baroque pearl. Baroque spread across Europe led by the Pope in Rome and powerful religious orders as well as Catholic monarchs to Northern Italy, France, Spain, Flanders, Portugal, Austria, southern Germany, and colonial South America.
