more necdn and (logins u man has
the more occasions he finds for con
flicts with his fellow-men, and these
conflicts are more bitter In propor
tion to the lack of Justice In the

It Is limited to rudimentary cruelti"8.
All other Is a battle for the super!l.i
ous: for ambition, privilege, caprice,
and for material pleasure. Hunger
alone never caused m.in to descend to
the baseness which ambition will
cause him to commit, or avarice, or
thirst for unhealthy pleasures, i-go!-isin
becomes more maleficent as It
iHVories more refined. We have
therefore, in these days beheld an ag
Knivatlon of the spirit of hostility
among our fellow-beings and our
hearts are less at peace than ever.
It Is useless to ask if we have be
come better. Does not the "nerve of
goodness" lie in the capacity of man
to love something besides himself?
And what place would remain for the
neighbor In a life sacrificed to mater
ial cares, to needs mostly fictitious,
to the satisfaction of ambitions, ha
trerts and fantasies? The man who
gives himself up entirely to the ser
vice of his appetites makes them grow
and multiply so rapidly that they be
come stronger than he. He Is deliv
ered to an Internal anarchy, from
which Is born at last an outward and
visible anarchy. Moral life cousists in
the government of one's self. Im
morality consists In the government
of ourselves by our needs and our pas
sions. Thus, little by little, the basos
of the moral life are displaced, and
the rule of Judgment Is deviated from.
For a man, slave to numerous an.l
exacting needs, to possess is the great- j
est good, source of all other good
things It Is true that in the fl ;roe
struggle for possession, we come toi
hate those who possess, and deny the
right of property when that right is in
the hands of another, and not our own.
But the ferocity In attacking the pos
sessions of others Is a new proof of
the extraordinary importance which
we attach to possession Itself. Things
and men end by being estimated at
their selling price, and the profit to be
made therefrom.
That which brings nothing is worth
nothing, and he who has nothing is
nothing. Honest poverty risks pas
ing for-ahame, and even unciean mon
ey has little difficulty in passing for
merit.
"Then," some one objects, "you con
demn modern progress by wholesale,
and you would lead us to the good old
tlme3, to asceticism, perhaps?" Not
at all. It Is the most sterile and dan
gerous of Utopias to wish to resusci
tate the past, and the art -of right liv
ing does not consists in withdrawing
oneself from life. But, we are seeking
to bring to light, with the aim of find
ing a remedy for it, one of those er
rors, which weigh heaviest on social
progress, and that is, that man be
comes happier and better by increas-s
of his outward well-being. Nothing
Is falser than this pretended social
axiom. On the contrary. The dimin
ishing of the capacity for being happy,
and the debasement of characters by
material well-being without counter
weight. Is a fact which a thousand, ex
amples are at hand to establish. A
civilization is valued by what the man
installed in its center is worth. When
that man lacks moral direction, all
progress but serves to make the evil
worse and to further embroil problems.

Do You Contemplate Building?
This principle may be verified In
other domains than that of well-being.
We will mention but those of Instruc
tion and liberty. We remember the
time when prophets who were believ
ed announced that to transform a bar
ren land Into an abode fit for the gods
It would suffice to overthrow those
coa'.escent old powers: misery, ignor
ance and tyranny. Other prophets to
day repeat the same predictions. We
have just seen that the evident de
crease of misery haa not made man
better nor happier. Has this result

We mast seek out, set free, and re
store tc honor the real life assign all
things to their proper places, and re

good lamp? It is not the one most
ornamented, the best carved or that
which is made of the most precious
metal. A good lamp Is the one that
gives good light. And so, also, we
are men and citizens not by the num
ber of goods or pleasures that we pro
cure for ourselves, not through our
Intellectual and artistic culture, nor by
the honors or the independence we
enjoy, but by the solidity of our moral
fibre. And this, after all, is not a
truth of to-day, but a truth of all
times. .
At no epoch have exterior conditions

the state of his Inner life. The face
