1t is the general opinion of compe-

survive for many years. Nothing but
the spirit of Christianity will over
come the evil. The native mind can
rot be induced by ordinary argument
to see any wrong in it. Why man
should not have as many wives as he
could afford to buy and keep is too
much for his comprehension. He re-
CARDS women as created solely for his
pleasure and profit, and trades in her
accordingly. He buys her from her
father for one or two goats, she be-
comes the mother of his children, and
prepares and cooks his food for him.
That is her career, and she shares 1t
with as many other wives as her hus-
lands inclination and resources per-

CHAPTER III.
SIMPLICITY OF THOUGHT.


VT is not alone among the practical
manifestations Of our life that
there is need of making Il clear
IA ing; the domain of cur ideas is in
the same case. Anarchy reigns in hui
man thought. We walk in the woods
without compass or sun, lost among
the brambles and briers of infinite de-
tail
When once man has recognized the
fact that he has "a aim, and that this
aim is to be man, he organizes his
thought accordingly. Every mode of
thinking or judging which does not
make him better and stronger he re-
jectS as dangerous.
And first of all he fees the too com
mon contrariety of amusing himself
with his thought. Thought is a tool,
with its own proper function; it isn't a
toy. Let us take an example. Here is
the studio of painter. The implements
are all in place; everything indicates
that this assemblage Of means is ar
ranged with view to an end. Throw
the room open to apes. They will climb
on the benches, swing from the cords,
rig themselves in draperies, Golf them
selves with slippers, juggle with brush
es, nibble the colors and pierce the can
vases to see what is behind the paint.
1 don't question their enjoyment. Cey-
tainly they must find this kind of eX-
ercise extremely interesting. But an
atelier is not made to let monkeys
loose in. No more is thought a ground
for acrobatic evolutions. a man worthy
Of the name thinks as he is, as his
tastes are; he goes about it with his
whole heart, and not with that fitful
and sterile curiosity which. under pre-
text of observing and noting every
thing, runs the risk of never eXperienc-
ing deep and true emotion or accom-
plishing a right deed
Another habit in urgent need of cor
rection, ordinary attendant on conven-
tional life, is the mania for examining
and Analysing oneself at every turn.
l do not invite men to neglect intro
spection and the examination Of con-
science. The endeavor to understand

takes But by dInt of action and ex-
acting from himself strict account of
his deeds man arrives at u better
knowledge Of life Its law appears to
him, and the law is this: Work out
your mission. He who applies himself
to aught else than the realization OF
this end loses in living the raison detrc
of life. The egotist does SO, the pleas
ure seeker, the ambitious; he con
sumes existence as one eating the full
corn in the blade; he prevents it from
bearing its fruit; his life is lost. Who
ever. on the contrary, makes his life
serve a good higher than itself, saves j.,
in giving it. Moral precepts which t.
Il superficial view appear arbitrary and
seem made to spoil our Zest for life
have really but one obiect-tO preserve
us from the evil of having lived IL
vain. That is why they are constantly
leading us back into the same paths;
that is Why they all have the sam"
meaning: DO not waste your life; me-,
it bear fruit; learn how to give il T..

humanity. and this experience, whic
each man must remake for himself, is
more precious in proportion as it costs
more dear. Illuminei by its light, he
makes moral advance more and more
sure. Now he has his means of orien-
tati0n. his internal norm to which he
may lead everything back, and from
the vacillating, confused and complex
being that he was he becomes simple.
By the ceaseless influence of this same
law. which expands within him and is
day by day verified in fact, his opin-
ions and habits become transformed
Once c0ptivated by the beauty and
sublimity of the true life. by what is
sacred and pathetic in this strife of
humanity for truth, justice and broth
erly love, his heart holds the fascina-
ton of it. Gradually everything sub
ordinates itself to this powerful and
persistent charm. The necessary HER

an army. An army is strong by its dis
cipline, and it's discipline consists in re-
spect of the inferior for the superior
and the concentration of all its ener-
gies toward Il single end. Discipline
once relaxed, the army suffers. 1t will
not do to let the corporal command the

thing that makes us see across ouI

simplicity, those who have made an
other object of their desires than the
passing satisfaction of selfishness and
vanity and have understood that the
