Cloudiness, the Incompetence, the Inepti-
tude of the Human Mind
By PRESIDENT ADA LOUISE coMsTocK, in New York Herald.

WINE 0O1oA ~ IA ANSW 4oh CI1as
VIFIdE last decade has given the Western World, l suppose, a almost
parayzng revelation Of certain Of its own weaknesses. To the
IL idea that the human heart was wicked it was not 81 unaccus.
toned; perhaps one Of its major falacies was the cool assump-
ton of such a state.
The most striking revelation has been less moral than intellectual
the revelation of the cloudiness, the Incompetence, the ~ineptitude of the
human mind. The actual fact of iliteracy here and in other countries,
the sensational disclosures of mental tests have been only minor details
in the general exhibition of the incapaciy Of masses Of people to think
at all even in the defense Of their property and lives.
Nor among those fitted by training and experience to be leaders has
the exhibition of human capacity been much more gratifying. Failure to
reach any agreement, to get beyond the consideration Of the welfare
of a particular group, to surmount native or acquired prejudice, to
unite in a constructive program has been the common phenomenon.
1t has sometimes seemed as if truth in such essential matters al economic
and social questions and relations among countries either did not exist or
could not be so conveyed to masses of people a to be accepted. More
than one writer of Importance has seen democracy and civilization
hanging in the balance.
One point of agreement there seems to be-that education, more
widely difused, more effective is the only trustworthy means of relief.
In that faith we of America have been bred. We see it now worldwide
In scope and among ourselves revived and quickened.
For the demand that is made is not SO much for special knowl-
edges, for preparation for skilled workers in any profession or calling
as it is for wisdom-for men and women who have the capacity, the
training and the will to think. 1t is such men and women whom the
college of liberal arts aims to develop.

away, and sad stlll over the thousands
that reject Him today. And why does
this Interview end SO differently from
the others?
1t was not that the Savior's grace
and power were not all-sufficient for
him, as for all other sinners, nor that
the yearning of His mighty heart was
diminished. 1t is expressly declared
that Jesus loved him. 1t was not be-
cause the young nan was rich nor be-
cause he was a ruler, for many of
these classes were saved. And In ap-
pearance, at least, he was eager. for
he "came running" and there was the
attitude Of humility, for he "kneeled
at Jesus feet" But alas he came as

viction of sin but full Of s~elf-eonf-

Teacher" he said, what good
thing shall do that / may have eter-
nal life?" He has no doubt that some
good thing is needed, in the doing of
which he can earn eternal life. And
as so many are on that road, he thinks
1t must surely be the right one. 1t is
not to confess himself a sinner, help
less and undone, that he comes, but to
ask what ne can do. Yes, men are
thronging that hopeless road, forget
ting that 1t Is sinners for whom Christ
has died, that 1t Is their sin that gives
them a claim upon Him, and that eter-
nal life Is His gracious gift, not q
thing to be earned or paid for.
Not only does he ask what he can
do, but boasts In what he has done.
"All these have l observed from my
YOUTH" he replies to the Lords re-
eital of the commandments. Honest
In this he was. no doubt, and, with
Saul of Tarsus, he was touching the
righteousness which is In the law,
blameless." And this he estimates as
establishing a claim upon God.
And we u not overlook one sig
nihcant clause In the text. He came
running and "kneeled to Jesus in the
way" What way? 1t was the wal

chapter declare. He blocks the Lord's]
