Chapter XI: DEVOTIONAL THEOLOGY.--Giving glory to God, or, more accurately,

whatever feelings He desires us to have towards Him, whether of affection or awe.

This is the science or method of _devotion_ for Christians universally, just as the Practical Theology is their science or method of _action_.

In blue and red: a narrow black rod still traceable in the left hand; I am not sure of its meaning. ("Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me?") The other hand open in admiration, like Astronomy's; but Devotion's is held at her breast. Her head very characteristic of Memmi, with upturned eyes, and Arab arch in hair. Under her, Dionysius the Areopagite--mending his pen! But I am doubtful of Lord Lindsay's identification of this figure, and the action is curiously common and meaningless. It may have meant that meditative theology is essentially a writer, not a preacher.

The medallion, on the other hand, is as ingenious. A mother lifting her hands in delight at her child's beginning to take notice.

Under St. Paul.

_Technical Points_.--Both figures very genuine, the lower one almost entirely so. The painting of the red book is quite exemplary in fresco style.
