doctrine. He must be consistent to this theory for more than a single day. It must always be a new theory to him and kept fresh from day to dayg for if he should allow it to become a thing of the past, he would have to dismiss it as a thing of the past. To believe your own thought,-to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men,-that is genius. That is not only genius but also consistency. A person must think over his thoughts a long while before they become absolute conviction. The person who dismisses without notice his thoughts because they are his does so because he lacks the consistency to retain them the length of time necessary for them to become conviction. This person, lacking the consistency to settle upon a fixed purpose in anything, is restless and dissatisfied. Discontent is the want of self-reliance , says Emerson. It is not so. Discontent is the want of consistency. I hope , says Emerson, in these days we have heard the last of con- sistency! Such an occurence would surely mean the doom of all the best ideals in life-patriotism, religion, and honesty. It is impossible to live in the present without a consistent conformity to the past. The future depends upon cosistency. Self-reliance cannot be obtained except by consistency in conforming to a definite plan whether evolved in the past or in the present. In the end it will not be the little things that will count, but the general aspect. The traveler looking back over the recently crossed valley from a mountain top does not see each detail. It really matters little how a person lives, if he doesn't care. Emerson undoubtedly addressed those who did. Whether a person lives by a definite plan or just lives, the end is seemingly the same either way. It is only that those who know what they are doing are those who more fully express the divine idea. The present is short-lived, and yet all the rules are made just that that second might be lived rightly. The present is no sooner here than is becomes the past. We shall always have lived in that second whether we choose to acknowledge it or not. What we said or did in that second Will always be a part of us in its bearing on our future. Thus, we must retain a consistent conformity to the past. To say that consistency is the obstacle to self-reliance is wrong. Consistency and conformity are all that keep man from fearing the future. With all fears of the future allayed, man can be self-reliant in all else. Emerson, himself, drew on the past when he said, We are now men and must accept-destinyf' JOSEPH GENSER 046
