Look Up. A defense of beauty over dark paths to hell
The Minneapolis Tribune argues against a sensational pastor who denounces beauty as heresy. It praises the psalmist's view of creation and urges looking up to beauty in nature—starry skies, seas, sunrises, forests, and clouds—as evidence of a benevolent creator. Misery results from human action, not divine design, and civilization should cherish beauty to uplift the higher soul.
