The imitative colonial propensity of mind still dwells with us. There is still work for the Puritan Spirit which would go its own way and think its own thoughts. It is not altogether our own church, even now in the world of ideas in art, and literature, and among certain elements of our society. Who, for instance, has not heard the profound saying that in this country nature does not lend itself to art Have we not, then, the glories of morning and of evening, the mists of dawn, the radiance of midday, the lightning of the noontide ocean, the infinite beauties of sea and sky, of river and mountain? When nature does not lend itself to art it is because there is no art able to borrow. Let the right men come in the right spirit and they will have no trouble with nature.
