I like a hill when the day's begun- When the great red sword of the rising sun Slashes the dove-gray breast of morn And wind breathes low where, the bracken's torn. I like a hill When the; day's just born. Her poem said "I Like a Hill." I like a hill when the bright blue sky I knew her for my own. Holds the vertical sun like a lonely eye- Across the town She came to me, No more we dance alone. I like a hill when the race is run-- When the crimson heart of the weary sun Burns on the breast of the quiet earth And the dusk stalks over her purple girth. I like a hill When the stars find birth.

RUTH ST. DENIS i NOTE: Nearly half a century ago, a young woman glanced at a poster advertising a brand of Egyptian cigarettes and - ,'. proceeded from there to change the course of American dance. Inspired by the poster's depiction of the Egyptian goddess Isis, she determined to give expression to her latent desires to change the function, of dance, to reveal its dignity, and to dis- close its spiritual power. Miss Ruth St. Denis celebrated her seventieth birthday with the founding of her Church of the Divine Dance in Hollywood, California. She regards this development of her world renowned career as its fulfillment. The purposes of her church are twofold: to bring about a vital understanding between the church and the arts-between God and the artist, and to provide a center for a spiritual experiment, which in its findings and successes, however modest, may serve all churches with ideas and actual demonstrations of spiritual beauty. search for mere pleasure as a substitute for love. From going around and around the endless circles of our own petty plans and resentments, our facile but sterile imaginations, we should turn as never before to the Light. Politically, socially, and commercially we have been asleep, I CLAIM THAT the artists of America hold within their minds and bodies a new divine artists the very blueprint and plans for and better world! But before these plans can be given to humanity, themselves must be changed peo- ple, cleansed of their false ambitions, their egocentric energies, and their ceaseless and we are being rudely awakened. We have accepted the teaching and preaching of certain types of Christianity which demand nothing of followers but their money. There are teachers today, who flourish at the expense of men's souls, because they tell them that all they have to do is to think themselves into the Kingdom of God. Instead we all enter the kingdom of peace and power by the agony of surrendered pride and by the utter cleansing of ourselves from sin. This, and no less, is what is demanded of men who would know freedom from fear. We have been fed on the pap of the ambition of little-souled men and women who have never themselves known the humiliation of Christ, or they never could teach the superficialities and evasions of the price that man has to pay to transcend himself. {I i i i . sq... We are not weary Wanderers and slave "a ., laborers in an aimless and disordered uni- _. verse. We are children of God. We are fed and guided, sustained and unfolded, 32:41 by a vast principle of life. In reality we do not live, move, and have our being under the domination of any person or race. We live and have our being in divine intelligence, under a law of abundance and harmony. We do not need to be put to sleep by mesmeric entertainment. We need to be awakened to the comfort and security of truth. Today we are gazing with horror- ,stricken eyes at e" spectacle of the 9g; umanity, strewn with , ‘n nursery the w, e, injustice, pride, fear, -Intellectually, we are was i. «a anically, we are marvels; 1; we are morons!

Reprinted from motivairihagazine of the Methodist Stud e‘nr Mc'fveéne at I ‘1 y. Our hope and glory are that are awake to it! We have worshiped the created thing instead of the Creator! We have willfully ‘ and stubbornly refused to listen to and obey the words of the disciplines of the 'fe-giving saviors of the world, and now s «4% 4.. .rr ma» " :;:..d has come. The lesson is about to -- learned. Neither science, nor art, nor business, nor human love, nor human planning can save us. Neither the labor of the hand, nor of the brain can save us, nor the invention of the mind, nor further destructions of the emotions can avail. We are hoist on our own petard, and the only way we can be let down from the hideous uncertainties of our position is by saying, like a little child, "Oh mother, I will be good, I will obey you!" It is as simple as that! So simple that many of us will put off the great liberation until some more convenient season, depending upon the futile efforts of man's ways to heal us and free us from this bondage of our own evils. , ‘ . I 1 _ THE dance holds within its purposes and practices, the very seeds of a new order of living. How else could we have a strong coordinated nation without strong, coordinated men and women? Doesn't it seem logical and sane that the organic growth of soul and body should be one, that any philosophy of living which values one side only of our completed selves, is basically wrong? How can a civilization flower in harmonious and beautiful patterns when it is based upon the ignorance of our total being? Do we yet realize that we were given at birth the A most wonderful instrument of life and expression in the world, and that we neglect it for a thousand ephemeral gadgets, and abuse it daily as no musician would think of abusing the1nstrument he plays ' ome of us have long realized that our whole Christian faith has separated man , "into two apparently opposing forces- into a dualism of spirit and matter, soul and body. It may well be that the old dispensation had its purposes and mission. It may be that my own understanding of all the matters pertaining to Jesus and his full message, from a doctri‘gnal point of view, is far from profound; I am keenly aware that I am speaking). of a special and partisan matter. I am a dancer, an artist, and I must view a future world within the frame of my own wisdom,7§'fi‘ . _.s it is.

These realizations and a we have perhaps never done in all the ages. For myself, I see the churches of the future as places where the maximum experience of life will be realized. I see them as cathedrals of life. I see them functioning as buildings where the art gallery, the theater, and the concert hall have yielded humbly their finest talents with which to reveal the very elements and powers of the Godhead, where we will look upon Jesus and all seers and prophets as manifesting through their human bodies the fullness of the Holy Spirit bodily. The following scene between Philip and Jesus has always seemed a perfect illustration of this meaning: "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have knoWn my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto us the Father, and it aith unto him, Have with you, and yet me, Philip? He that n the Fa -. words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth 41 fi‘ ,. 2; 'y; 4 y in me, he doeth the works." I predict that with the development 0;; a sane, strong, beautiful humanity, the" cross will be the very emblem and squ , bol upon which man is voluntarily slain "1 1.3:": " in order to bring about his resurrection from the tomb of his own sin, destruction, and death.
