CONFINEMENT

IT EACHERS of the past, paid and

contentment. They urged the poor to
be content with their lot. They dis
couraged ambition In the peasant.
They besought the common people to
remain AZ they were and not 60
aspire to the comfort and Injuries Of
the rich.
II was an excellent gospel--for the
rulers As long as the bondman was
contented. the noble had no fear that
the right to plumber would be I'M
periied. II the peasant could be kept
satisfied with q hovel and a pittance
there would be less danger that his
sons would nourish q dangerous desire

Epictetus. the Greek slave whose
teachings were all that his master
could wish. had no yearning for In
dependence himself. and could not see
why Il should be craved by others. He
said:
III you were born In Persia. 700
would not endeavor to live In Greece.
but to be happy In the place where
you were. Why then, II you were born
In poverty, do you yearn to be rich.
and not rather happy In the condition

And again: "If therefore you ac-
Quire q habit Of reasoning. you will
neither desire riches nor complain Of
poverty"
Beautiful doctrine, which IL faith
fully practiced, would have held back
the world for centuries.
II Is the desire for independence.
the desire for better conditions that
has brought the human race out Of
slavery.
Great riches do not bring happiness.
Il is true. But there can be no happi-
ness without a degree of independence.
and the man who is contented with
who and what he In. will never be In
dependent.
The poets and philosophers who
preach contentment practice 1t very
little. II was their discomfort with
what they were, that made them what
they are.
No thoroughly contented person will
ever progress. His contentment will
tie him to his present condition for
ever.
There can be no such thing as con-
tented poverty. for poverty Is horrible.
and u breeder Of horrors. And as
long ss II exists. no man, whether he
suffers IL himself, or beholds others
