THE CROWN OF THORNS.
Sir-Writing not as a higher critic but merely as one who would like to deserve the epithet Christian, I think your correspondent, E. R. Heal, tends to lose sight of fundamentals when he criticises The Listener's "Messiah" illustration. What matter how the crown of thorns is depicted? Most of us know that, like the cross, it was a symbol of infamy or degradation, and that to-day we recognise both as emblems of triumph and victory. The Listener’s artist followed a convention in his drawing and if any criticism could be made it would be that the picture showed Christ as the Man of’ Sore rows and not as the Kine of Kings.
