GOSHEN COLLEGE RECORD. 7 which the individual should live if he expected to be of proper standing in his tribe. The man who would continue to persecute a vanquished and weaken- ed foe was branded a coward. The half-civilized man of the old Asiatic na- tions and strict rules, conformity or non-conformity to what were the dis- tinguishing characteristics which plac- ed the individual into higher or lower grades of society. The Greek with his finely developed aesthetic nature Went a step farther in making the criterion a. subjective love of the beautiful rather than a rigid adherance to an external law. Here a distinctadvance was made in coming nearer a spontaenously worked out standard that tended to elevate the in- dividual and so the race. Beautiful sculpture and architecture appealed to the cultured Greek but did not even provide a moral code or social stand- ardard of sufficient strength to pre- serve the integrity of the nation. Gul- ture had not taken possession of the entire individual and consequently not of the entire race. The objective in- ducement for a high standard of living was strong and vivid but the subjective impelling force was not of sufficient vitality. The Grecian heart was yet a clot untroubled by a spark. The Roman law-giver and warrior with courage and the sterner qualities developed made his contribution to our modern civilization by virtue of an un- daunted aggressiveness and fixcdness of purpose. Courageous and virile he conquered nation after nation and was successful as a colonial administrator. Organization in his hands was effective and promoted justice. Pride of nation and race throbbed in every breast. And yet We see a nation suddenly decaying because of social. evil and unable to per- petuate itself because of the rotteness of its own domestic social standards. The objective inducement was strong and inspired many of the noblier vir- tues of the luunan soul but was not spontaneous or from Within, effecting the Whole man. Culture must plainly have an ele- ment so far not developed to give it the quality of perpetuating itself. This the great Arnold holds to be spontaneity or what We find is called in Holy W1'it the regenerated life. No nation today has maintained her integrity so fully and passed through so many stages when radical changes were required as England. This no doubt is due to the spontaneity of her national ideals. At the same time no nation 's influence is so Wide and its ad- ministration so far reaching as those of England. The spontaneity of her na- tional culture expresses itself in ser- vice in the form of a colonial. adminis- tration noted for justice, sincerity and efficiency. ls the case different with the indivi- dual. A trained mind and heart sus- ceptible to beauty and nobility and spontaneously giving itself in service for mankind constitutes a cultured in- dividual. Service emenates from true culture as its normal expression. A man does what he does because of what he is, and is not what he is be- cause of what he does so far as actuat- ing motives are concerned. Man cannot respond to abstract laws and rules of conduct so easily when he cannot visualize them into concrete ob- jects in the forms of social conventions, traditions, symbols or emblems. Form of some kind is necessary for the eX- pression of our religious devotions. S0-
