- W1621937249 abstract "An observant traveler in Europe, especially in its rural districts, may occasionally have paused in a stroll to decipher a quaint and pleasing inscription in the gable or over the door of a dwelling house; or, it may have been on a shield or a tablet underneath a little niche or canopy sheltering a statue of the Madonna or of a Saint. As to contents, these inscriptions, at times, are indicative of the hospitable spirit, but more frequently of the deep re ligious faith of those who had them placed. As to form, they are in popular verse, at times taking liberty with pro sody as well as with grammar and with spelling. Aside from the cases here to be reported, the writer has not met with such inscriptions in our country. He does not have in mind the inscriptions on public buildings, nor com memorative tablets on historic buildings, nor the Dine Wine-Dance variety of places of amusement; nor is he thinking of the slogans of commercial establishments, such as the possibly misleading advertising boast of a hardware store?If you're looking for a nut, we have it. Still less is the writer here concerned with the abuse of a Scripture text that he saw somewhere painted in large letters on a barn or stable of a large sheep farm. The owner had used for himself the words with which Jesus, speaking figurative ly, made St. Peter the Shepherd of His Church, Feed my sheep. The stock-raiser responsible for putting these sacred words on his stable may not have intended any irreverence, but someone, pointing to this inscription when driving past on the highway, remarked to the writer, It is almost blasphemous. The only inscriptions here to be dealt with are those on dwelling houses. The writer has found two such inscriptions in southern Indiana. Of these, the second only is to be dealt with in detail both by reason of its unique character and because of its value for local history. In the northeastern corner of Spencer County, Indiana, a farmer has painted on the outside of the door the Latin words, Or a et Labora (Pray and Work). These words, the motto of the monks of St. Benedict, which are expressive of a well balanced Christian life, are very appropriately placed" @default.
