does not therefore signify very
much. for to do at least pretty near
iy what we at the moment think Il
right to do, is part Of the human
constitution, and has hardly more
meaning than does the balance
which every one maintains between

eat what our sense OF taste Is dis.
gusted with. no more do we do what
our sense Of right Is digusted with.
So that in claiming for himself
that, even prior to his conversion, he
had always acted conscientiously, st.
Paul was not after all claiming a
great deal for himself. and does not
pretend that he was. does not admit
that he was. He says that In per.
scouting the Christians he did what
he felt at the time he ought to do,
and yet in one Of his letters, written
later, he declares that just because
he prosecuted them he was not At to
be called an Apostle. This throws
rather lurid light on the much be-
trumpeted virtue of conscientious
ness. Paul did what he thought he
ought to do, and yet afterward went
down in dust and ashes for having
done it.
Then conscience Is not reliable?
Exactly SO; that Is precisely the
point. Conscientiousnes Is not a
