Show Selfishness. One of tho most noteworthy of the baccnlaurcnto addresses of the year was that by President Iliulley of Yale, In which ho offered n Just erltlelsui of tho tendencies of this "ago of Helen-title Helen-title progress nnd material prosperity." Kuch mi nge, ho says, limit "the old dogmas by which tlNelpllne was supported sup-ported undermined." Most men are so constituted that with discipline relaxed re-laxed they are not "at the mercy of blind passion," but they lire "at the mercy of nn almost equally folfflil spirit of selllsb calculation." The result Is disastrous: It Is nn unfortunate fnct tlint Very few nations have achieved wealth or dominion without sufrcrliiK" Inns of faith nml oiithii-' oiithii-' nlasm nnd remaining with the empty luisk of sr-'iitnosa nt the cr- moment when they ilecmeil thvniaelvt-H most powerful, pow-erful, lor nloriK with tho iu-iuIhIIIoii of power theft) Is apt to come n ri-laxlm; of illHclpllue. .Moiib with the nclileve-ment nclileve-ment of llio menus of Iiulimtrlnl enso tliero t-onies a iihllosopliy of life wlileh makes InUustrlnl ease the kouI and end of human effort. The iiortents of these things Dr. Iliulley mhh In our own country nml In our own time: "Almost every evil, political, social or commercial, which constitutes a serious menace to the permanent prosperity of our country can be traced directly to our tolerant acceptance of selllshness ns a basis of morality " Is this warning unnecded? Is the doctrine of "enlightened self Interest," so confidently advanced, a standard lofty enough to guide the race to Its great objectives? "The philosophy philoso-phy of life which makes industrial ease the goal and end of human effort" Is It ns a philosophy either complete or wholesome? In icply the New York Mall says: To ask these questions Is to answer them, even before ttio backwash of nn ndv.incliiK Industrial ago brliiKs the answer an-swer Into. lew on Its own wreckage. Tho era which exalts overmuch tho gospel of success ami neglects the gospel of servlca carries In It tho Identical trugedy that poisons, nt the moment of victory, the rnreer of the Individual to whom the world is only Pistol's ojstcr. The age of selfishness Is passing out. It has brought to the world all the evils under which men now suffer. From It grow war, greed with ull Its attendant Industrial and social Injustice ami every ev-ery species of crime known to mini. Each, If traced to Its logical source, will bo found to proceed from tho taproot tap-root of selfishness, (iood men and women wo-men everywhere are perceiving this truth and are raising their voices against this enemy of mankind. Tho progress must go on till the motto will be, "Everything for the nation, for the ruce, for (iod nothing for self," |
