The Master
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright 1915. by Frank Crane)

Egotism is incompatible with great
ness.
Two things are to be sharply distin-
guished-greatness itself and the an
pearance OF greatness. Real greatness ia
marked by humility; in fact, humility is
the touchstone by which we can tell pre-
cisely how much dross, adulteration.
fraud, or fools gold is interu,ixed in its
texture.
The very first effects greatness Is to
move one to rise above self. When fire
man rescues life in disregard of his own.
when the policeman or soldier rushes in
to danger careless Of his safety, when a
man dives into the water TO save one who
Is drowning, or in any such case, we
get the impression of greatness because
the doer loses consideration for himself.
Grandeur of spirit is only reached by
remuneration. He that saveth his life
shall lose it,"
Egotism is the exact reverse of this.
II is the effort of the really petty to seem
great II is the timid soul with mask
Of courage. 1t is the jackdaw with pea
cock feathers stuck in his tail.
In Arnold Daly's fine presentation Of
The Master" We are shown good pic
ture Of small soul who is under the
common delusion that mastery is the i'm
posing of self upon others, instead Of the
service of self to others. Conquest. DOM
nance, is to the mob always admirable,
but they do not see that any dominance
is tawdry and shabby that is not first of
all dominance Of self.
The ideal greatness of the false kind
is that of Goethe's Mephistopheles; his
way is by ruthless disregard of all but
himself; his end is and can be but the
cold horror Of isolation.
The sort Of greatness we find in Metz
sche, furthered by Bernhard and other
German propagandists of the super
man theory. and illustrated usually by
the "war lord" type. Is this hollow Me-
phistophelian, plaster-of- Paris. counter
felt kind
The other kind is exhibited in Jesus
of Nazareth. and altho the world has but
mperfectly understood and has often dis
'orted his character. yet it has persist
emily felt that somehow it is the Christ
spirit and not the Mephistopheles-spirit
that is the aim of normal ambition.
There can be no greatness without
love. and egotism kills love; no greatness
without the humanities, and egotism
dehumanizes; no greatness without
merging into the universal heart OF
things, and egotism isolates.
Whoever will be the Ruler Of An die
tating commanding, may take the devil
for his master, fer the devils ltfst is to
rule: but whoever will come TO real great
ness must take for his master the God
who is the Servant Of ALL for only 30
can he come TO that sublimity of nature
where his greatness can mean perfect
love, perfect sympathy, and perfect
peace.
For what shall it profit man if he
gain the whole world and lose his own
