 REAL PERSON BY DR. HARRY EMERSON FOSDlCK
We Put On an Endless Masquerade, Because We Want to Feel Important

of self-display is everywhere at work.
 Many deserve Thackeray's de- scription of Pendennis, who, Hay ing a most lively imagination, mis- took himself for person of import ance very easily.' If other means of satisfying this desire fail, some become gangsters, rejoicing in their notoriety and angry if the desired kind of publicity is denied them. So Guiteau, President aGrfield's assas- sin, in his prayer on the scaffold indignantly exclaimed, 'The Amer ican press has large bill to settle with the righteous Father for their vindictiveness in this matter" Fin ally, If desperate measures are cal- led for, some become insane, and imaginning themselves kings, queens or multimillionaires. walk in their fantasies, their desire for self-ag- grandizement happily satisfied. It is small wonder that ethics and re- ligion habitually look askance at this dangerous motive.
 Nevertheless, there is another side to the matter. The finer a family is, the more the home makes every member of it feel that he or she counts. The entire democratic way of life is based upon the proposi- tion that everyone,s opinion ought t matter. Christ endues with im- prtance an endless stream of other wise obscure people. filling fisher men, tax gatherers, and prodigals with the elated conviction that the kind of persons they are and the way they live are momentous for themselves, their friends, their com- munities, and the world.
 The entire Christian idea of life is srtucturally dependent upon the importance of persons. That is to say, self-respectTennyson called it "self elf-reverence"is alike the basis and the consequences of our most saving institutions at their best and of the most redeemnig ideas we have in philosophy and religion. No great living is possible without self-respect. and self-respect is the old, dangerous, misused, and moral ly reprehensible passion for self-ag- grandizemnet, elevated, sublimated, and put to good uses.
 MONDAY: Being needed makes 8 person feel important.
