So, in a sense, the artist stands as a minister in minor orders, and so his life and acts take hold of that sacramentalism that is the foundation of both the Church and the world; if he plays his part honestly and as one charged with duties and privileges, he may see the art to which he is sworn become once more, not only a great recorder of true civilization, but the surety of its eventual restoration." These are the closing words of Mr. Cram's preface to the collection of papers and So, in a sense, the artist stands as a minister in minor orders, and so his life and acts take hold of that sacramentalism that is the foundation of both the Church and the world; if he plays his part honestly and as one charged with duties and privileges, he may see the art to which he is sworn become once more, not only a great recorder of true civilization, but the surety of its eventual restoration." These are the closing words of Mr. Cram's preface to the collection of papers and addresses he has published under the title of the last essay, "The Ministry of Art," read before the American Church Congress, at Troy, New York. The others in their order are, "Art the Revealer," an address at the inauguration of Rice Institute, Texas; "The Philosophy of the Gothic Restoration," read before the Contemporary Club, Philadelphia; "The Place of the Fine Arts in Public Education," and "The Artist and The World," delivered at Commencement, Yale University School of Fine Arts; "The Craftsman and the Architect," an address at a convention of the American Federation of Arts; and "American University Architecture," read before the Royal Institute of British Architects. The titles of these papers, with their occasions, have a curious interest; for, had they been written for a series of Church Congresses, they could hardly have had a more sacerdotal tone; in almost all Mr. Cram appears as the "minister in minor orders" of his preface; safely in the pulpit he delivers himself, in that fluent English of which he is a master, of a number of fine things, and is also led into grievous error by that fatal gift."Art," saith the preacher, "is a mystery." And this phrase evokes a vision of the pale votaries, the smug priesthood of a monachal cult, remote, withdrawn from the joyous world of red blood and the sunshine that makes the clustered tapers burn with a rather sickly cast; and then-faint and far one hears the bull laugh of the burly abbot riding forth, perchance in his mail, to Books, Art~~General, Ministry-of-Art~~Ralph-Adams-Cram, 999999999, The Ministry of Art, Ralph Adams Cram, 114707271X, Nabu Press, , , , , Nabu Press<
