Listen, World!
BY Elsie Robinson

I don't know much about
souls. Some say we haven't
any-that when the body dies,
the game is up. Maybe so.
Maybe not. But Of this. I'm
sure, there's something divine
in every man, something that
stands tall and strong and
bright above his common life
and that will help him over the
bumps, If he'll cling to it. And
that thing is his SELFRE-
SPECT.
Not his pride nor his conceit
pride and conceit are very
different from self-respect.
Pride and conceit, they're tied
up with the flesh, with the
animal beginnings of a man.
Dogs and horses have pride
monkeys and parrots have con-
ceit. B ut Self -Respect-that's
something else, something older
and higher-more mysterious,
Remember the story Of crea-
tion--how God formed man of
the dust Of the ground and
breathed into his nostrils the
breath Of life; and man be-
came a living soul so
God created man in His own
image" A strange story and
q universal one. You'll find
some version of it in the re-
ligion Of every people. AND
YOU'LL FIND THE TRUTH
OF TT IN THE HEART OF
EVERY MAN.
We are of dust, very dusty
dust, at that. But within that
dust there's something finer
than our natural earthiness-a
greater. lovelier Self-than that
moving clay which bears our
name. You know that greater
Self lives in you. I know it
lives In me-. Seldom, seldom do
we prove it In our daily acts.
But we know it is there-we
believe In it. though all the
world doubt. We believe in and
love that secret Self, because it
represents all that we know of
truth, all that we desire of
courage, all that we dream Of
beauty. 1t is the nearest thing
to God. 1t is. indeed, the image
OF God as much Of
God as we are able to compre-
hend. And we wistfully worship
that image.
That Is the true meaning Of
SELFRESPECr. It Is a mans
respect not for his outward self
but for the dream of God which

noble thirst for knowledge
springs from the same soil in
which noble love grows. To

longing, alike of the lover and
the natural discoverer. So that
