Gregory Copyright, 1918, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Brening World.) F 1 could do so without resorting to force, | would have every adult person in the United States begin right away upon the task of read- ing Long's translation of the “Meditations” of Marcus Aurelius. ‘The effect upon the Nation would be jus the one that is sorely needed at this crucial time in the country’s history. The “Meditations” were composed in the midst of one of the busiest lives ever lived by any man on thls earth, and best of all they were written without the remotest idea of their being published. The writer simply put down from day to day his private thoughts about life and about the way it ought to be lived, and not for a monient did he think that the public would get hold of them. = Very wonderful and very beautiful are these “Meditations,” best of it all is, the preaching, fine as it is, character of the preacher, . Many of us know froni actual experience how much easier it is to preach than to practise, but Marcus Aurelius preached. Here we have a man who was master of the whole world. All power lay in his hands, A word, a nod from him was sufficient to have his will instantly obeyed. And yet he was as humble as the sweetest little child! * There is the real test. It is easy for the beggar to be humble, but to be all powerful and humble is quite another matter. As the poet puts it, and the surpassed by the actual lived as grandly as he “O, it is excellent To have a giant's strength, but it is tyrannous To use it like a giant.” The great Emperor had the “giant's strength” {f mortal ever had it, and yet he used it in all humility and meckness, used it not to crush and blast, but to lift up and bless. In Marcus Aurelius the idea of “sweet reasonableness” receives its most perfect human illustration, the carpenter's Son alone excepted. For the first and almost for the last.and only time in all history the | monarch was mastered by the man, and the throne made to be the instru- | “nent of mercy and justice. {And such a modest man! And such unostentatious goodness! 4 With what real pleasure do we recall the following words from the | diary of the noble Emperor's thoughts: “One man, when he has done a) service to another, is ready to set it down to his account as a favor con- ferred. Another is not ready to do this, but still, in his own mind, he , thinks of the man as his debtor, and he knows what he has done. A third does not even know what he has done, but is like a vine which has pro- duced grapes and which seeks for nothing more after it has once produced its proper fruit. So the true man, when he has done a good act, does not call out for others to come and see, but goes on to produce another act, the vine goes on to produce again the grapes in their season.” And so, precisely as the vine gives the grapes, as the ficlds yield their ‘fruits and flowers, as the sun bestows his heat and light, did Marcus Aurelius perform his “little unrecorded deeds of kindness and of love.” The fact that he was master of the world, and that he had but to speak in order to have his will obeyed, never for a moment caused him to forget the other fact—that he was a humansbeing and that he was mor- °. Wearing with meekness the purple that destiny had thrown about him, he used his tremendous power as “ever under the great Taskmaster’s eye,” and when he lay down to die his last word was “Peace,” In a time of universal corruption he kept himself clean and sweet and, surrounded by brutality, he remained gentle and compassionate, thus giv- ing us, perhaps, the finest example known to us of the possibilities of buman nature. The qnly possible adverse criticism of this man—his persecution of the Christians--is tempered by the fact that the persecution was the result ofan honest misunderstanding. He thought that the new sect was plotting against the life of the empire.
