MACCLINTOCK.(Concluded.)III.Two false instincts mar our pursuit of virtue. Oneof them is the expectation of self -development out ofthe good thing we do. The cup of cold water carriesalso a drop of self-seeking. To undertake a gooddeed in order to practice self-sacrifice is a sure wayof missing the good that might come. We must enterupon it because it is a good thing to be done, in orderto make of it a beautiful act, in order to render itreally valuable for us.The other false instinct is the one that leads us toperform our goodness for the sake of some futurereward, and as an offset to some wrong-doing, actualor possible. In this way our eye is not on the object,our hands or lips move, but our hearts are far away.*See University Record, Vol. Ill, Nos, 22 and 23, August 26and September 7, 1898. Only so much is done as seems to us commerciallynecessary ; the side which does not show is neglected ;the soul is not an artist but a driven laborer. Herethen we do not ask how our souls will profit, how afuture moment may regard the deed, or how even theperson to be benefited may think of it ; but simplythink it a beautiful act that needs doing, and theways of making it most perfect. This innate valueof good deeds has been stated for us by Whitman :" The song is to the singer, and comes back most to him ;The teaching is to the teacher and comes back most to him ;The theft is to the thief and comes back most to him ;The love is to the lover and comes back most to him ;The gift is to the giver and comes back most to him ;It cannot fail."Our master gave us a lofty ideal and inspiration inthe words, " Be ye perfect, as your heavenly father isperfect," and " he that is perfect is as his Teacher."Does it not seem that a passion for perfection in theinner life may characterize a Christian as much as alike desire for perfection may possess the artist ? Wehave so long accepted the disbelieving, worldly teaching of the Philistine that because perfection is difficult it is not to be attempted, that we are all in dangerof forgetting that it is expected. This danger is notmade less by our multitudinous actual failures, norby our inability to define the ideal of perfectness incharacter or to specify the means of obtaining it.Perhaps we all need to restate the ideal as not that ofabsolute perfection but that of an ever increasingamount of good character and conduct.This eagerness for perfection is of course an impatience of imperfection. It is artistic to make no com-140 UNIVERSITY RECORDpromise with waste, poor workmanship, and disorderlyconstruction. Is the highly virtuous man not likewiseashamed of the continuing weakness, the lack of sympathy, the bungling kindness, the truth which is stillsomething of a lie, the unlovely hidden motive, theforced courtesy, the over-severe condemnation ofwrong in others, the faith " anchored but anxious ? "The moral nature then perfects itself as it loves perfect, beautiful, moral acts. It makes mistakes, itsideal is ever in advance, but its attitude of mind isnoble and is redemptive, for" 'Tis not what man does that exalts him.But what man would do."In the center of Jesus's teaching lies this deep law— his disciples have no new principle of conduct,no fundamental law differing from that of the otherteachers of men. But they differ in seeing, doingmove than these. They apply the law in new, morehidden, unexpected places and ways. They had afresh interpretation of the fundamental law againstkilling, adultery, foreswearing, vengeance, loving theneighbor only. They were to apply it to every detailof life, inner as well as outer ; in thought as in deed ;to stranger as to friend.This same principle underlies art and good conduct.It is an ever-increasing delicacy of perception andskill in action. The artist's eye sees colors and formunknown to the untrained eye. His hand is evermore sure, more detailed, more delicate in touch. Hefeels daily meanings and emotions unknown the daybefore. Any Pharisee can keep from killing the manwith a mortal blow ; but only the Christian canrefrain from hating him or from thinking evil. Eventhe Publican will love his kind neighbor and lendwhere he expects to receive again. But to love thestranger, to do good to, speak well of, and pray for aman who hates us — that is art in conduct. We aregrowing when we can feel another's stain as if it wereour own ; when we resent the ugly word as if an uglyact ; when slander of others hurts as an injury toourselves ; when a lie is none the less a lie if unsuspected ; when we dread a mistake as we would a sin ;when we rejoice in another's success as in our own.Then we accept no conventional excuses, no averagemorality. We rejoice to do " more than these " andthat each success makes both a higher demand and ahigher skill.But this increasing delicacy of moral and artisticsuccess gradually separates us from the great averageof common men. One might put it in a paradox bysaying that the better a man becomes, the less capable he is of understanding, sympathizing with, and helping the needy he has left behind. The genuinelyneedy have an unlovely element about them that distresses that sense of beauty which develops withincreasing virtue. The chronically poor are distressing,nay maddening, to the thrifty and prosperous. Thefeeble or perverse mind of the dull student tries thenerves of the skillful teacher. The coarseness in thelower sins shocks and disgusts the cleanly soul. Theartist is distressed over the lack of the love of beautyamong the uneducated and merely prosperous ; theirsimple tastes seem to him bad taste. He dislikes tobe popular, and prides himself on differing from thekindly race of men. And this law of increasingseparation would be absolute were it not for thecountervailing principle introduced by Christianity.Let me state it in the penetrating words of St. Paul :"Have this mind in you which was also in ChristJesus : who being in the form of God countedit not a prize to be on an equality with God, butemptied himself, taking the form of a servant, beingmade in the. likeness of men." Here in the principleof Kenosis, of emptying oneself, the artist and thebeautiful, trained soul came back to the still lagging,uncaring, average world. It is thus that the wiseparent takes the form of his child, and so saves it ; theteacher, of her ignorant, weak disciple ; the residentof the college settlement, of the actual life of unlovelysurroundings and conditions ; the trained artist, of thepoint of view of the uneducated taste; thus thescholar works in University Extension ; while above allthe Christ lays aside the prize of perfected states ofcharacter, and takes the form of the weak, drifting,mistaken, sinning race of men. With this mind in us,our moral development becomes the salvation ofothers. We take the polluting multitude with usinto our palace of art, for we will not be saved alone.I may complete my analogy by saying that theartist and the developing moral life has the sameproblem of relation to their environment, their timeand their fellows. They must both have seclusion,some retirement, some chance to let their own individualities come to complete expression. At the sametime they both must avoid the easy danger of exclu-siveness, of selfish retirement, of eccentricity, and amerely personal interpretation of life. Jesus livedamong the people ; but he understood the art ofretirement. Moral life is a compound of protected,personal living, of dependence upon others, and theperformance of social functions. They must bothavoid the Scylla of hermitage and the Charybdis ofworldliness.It may be felt that our discourse is of impossiblehigh matters, principles not found in actual conduct,UNIVERSITY RECORD 141that we ignore the existence of vigorously evil principles needing severe control, that we do not sufficiently enforce the need of a sentiment of duty, andfear of punishment. On the contrary, I have chosenonly to glance at some of the principles of conduct inthat higher world of life where difference of degreehas become difference of kind — though the stages ofdevelopment may possibly be traced. The lower orderof moral life will continue, for its laws and operationsare sure. Men will continue to learn their elementarylessons in the hard school of experience, uncontrolledinstincts and punishments ; conscience will be arousedby convenience ; and souls will continue keeping booksof their good and evil deeds. Children will still go toschool because they must and fall into the hands ofbrutal, unskilled teachers ; they will still fail from circumstances or perversity to grasp the principle ofhappy learning. Brutish men will be excluded fromdelicate society. They will still fall back in disgustand exhaustion from their own intemperance. Theywill do the law only because they must, and be awaret of it at every point of experience.But the law is a schoolmaster to bring us to Christ.The atmosphere of that house is gentle. Here children learn the countenance of life without its skeleton. The school will make them happy and train themby intrinsic ends and immediate instincts, when theylearn without studying their ignorance and weakness.Such happy souls will reproduce and feed upon theexperience of the good teacher of Windermere :" a comfort seemed to touchA heart that had not been disconsolate ;Strength came where weakness was not known to be,At least not felt: and restoration cameLike an intruder knocking at the doorOf unacknowledged weariness."(Prelude IV, 153.)The sane, healthy body will stop excesses and abusenot by prohibitions but by directing and employingthe strong, unused energies. Philosophically we maynot be able to decide whether we are good because weare happy, or happy because we are good. But practically, and as a matter of experience, the goodnessflows from the artistic interest in virtue. The soul,too, shall have great strength — not to withstand inthe set-pieces of fictitious worldly self-sacrifice, butfor the normal common needs of life. The tricksof piety may be left to the specially trained, sleight-of-hand performers in the world of morals. Theprinciple of this higher level of moral life is the principle of happy, free, positive, creative, skillful living,where moral deeds are works of art, where duty andcommon sense have blossomed into beauty.
