Democracy's Appeal to Culture.
(Continued from page 3.)
But the people, I think, have a right
to appeal to the cultured for truthful
ness. It is true today, as it has been
in times past, that cultured men as
sume themselves superior becauso'of
their culture, and not satisfied with
the advantage which this larger edu
cation gives them, they seem to be
grudge the smaller advantages and
pleasures of those less educated. Pres
ident Wilson, of Princeton University,
in his history with which you are
doubtless familiar, thus describes
Thomas Jefferaon: "MivJofferson was
an interesting mixture of democrat,
philosopher and politician. In taste
and occupation and habit, he touched
and was familiar with the life of the
cultured and moneyed classes, the ar
istocracy of the young nation which
constituted the. federalist 3tr,ength. In
creed and principle he was the com
rade and work-fellow of tho people."
I commend his example to the educat
ed men of today. His culture connect
ed him with tho educated and the re
fined, and yet his creed and principles
made him tho comrade and work fel
low of the people; I am praying today
that in our college communities we
shall raise up an increasing number
of men who can be cultured without
being weaned away from their sym
pathy with the common people. Why
was Jefferson a comrade with tho peo
ple? Because he believed in inalien
able human rights; because he recog
nized that all were made in the image
of the same God whoso likeness ho
bore; because he wanted nothing for
himself that he was not willing that
they should also have. He had not
one dollar in his purse that had been
secured by doing injustice to another
man, and, therefore, ho wa3 not afraid
to trust all ho had to laws made by
the people. If there are in this coun
try today those who doubt tho capa
city of the people for self-government,
you do not find them among tho com
mon people you find thorn among the
cultured. If there are those who are
not willing that tho people shall gov
ern themselves, you "will find them not
among the masses but among the cul
tured. When Jefferson made himself
immortal by tho declaration of these
truths of human brotherhood applied
to government, he was not popular
among the cultured. Jackson, when he
thundered forth the same doctrine
was not popular among tho cultured.
Even Lincoln, when he dared to say
that ho didnot have a political prin
ciple that he had not drawn from the
Declaration of Independence, was not
popular among tho cultured. Those
Who have been pleading the cause of
the people have not received as kindly
hearing among tho cultured as they
have -among the poor. Why is it? It
ought not to be. Il seems to me that
if those who are cultured appreciated
as they ought to the obligation which
their culture imposes they would be
brought into even closer touch with
those who need their help, but they
too often libel the plain people and
criticise uncouth honesty more se
verely than they do polite rascality.
I suppose, however, that the great
est indictment against Uie cultured is
not that they do wrong knowingly,
either directly or remotely it is not
that they have a contempt for tho
rights of the masses it is not that
hoy distrust them that is not tho
greatest or tte severest indictment
that can be brought against them: 'I
believe that tho severest Indictment to
day is that they stand idle, in the vine
yard and do not employ In helpful ser
vice the power that they possess. There
never was a day when service was
more needed than today. If I had my
choice of all the ages of tho world in
which, to live, I would rather live to
day. No age in theapast has furnished
the' oDDortunity for usefulness that
this ace does. A man who desires toJ
use a thorough education for a great
purpose has a larger opportunity to
daythan any ono before him over had.
Tho manner in which tho news is to
day conveyed lrom ono quarter of tho
world to tho other makes it possible
for good to be multiplied moro rapidly
than over before. Tho electric current
and the printing press theao have
brought all parts of the earth close
together,.,and what is done well any
where Is soon known everywhere. And
yet today many of tho educated people
of this country seem indifferent in the
presence of tho greatest problems that
ever pressed upon this country for so
lution. It ought not to bo so. And
why is it so? I beliovo it is because
our colleges have relatively given too
much attention to the mind, and not
enough attention to tho heart It is
because hey do not understand that
a man simply equipped with a great
mind, without a noble purpose behlntl
it, goes forth an injury to society,
rather than a blessing. It were better
that our institutions of learning were
closed; it were better that our boys
and girls wero unablo to read and writo
than that thoy should bo sent forth
with the idea that their greatness is
to be measured by tho amount of
money thoy can quickly accumulate,
regardless of the means by which they
gathered it together. The Syracuse
University is a Christian institution,
and I believe today that we need to
have the fundamental principles of
Christianity impressed upon those who
are going out as our educated and cul
tured men and women. The Bible
definition of greatness is tho only true
one, and that i3 service. When thoy
Inquired of the Master who would bo
chiefest among the disciples, He re
plied: "Let him who would bo chief
est among you be the servant of all."
That is tho definition of greatness; it
always has been true, it is true today,
it always will bo true, that he is great
est who does the most of good. Are
our cultured, people aiming at this kind
of greatness? Are they devoting them
selves to great causes? Some of them
travel abroad do they bring homo
suggestions to make our own govern
ment better? Some of them travel
over this country and como into con
tact with people of all sections, but
what are they doing to bring the
classes of society together and to solve
the great question that we must meet
the question between the rich and
the poor? I have sometimes been ac
cused of arraying class against class.
Tho man who accuses metf it ha3 nev
er read what I said. I have never
intentionally and I think I can even
say I never have unintentionally
said anything that could be properly
construed as an attempt to array class
against class. I have many descrip
tions of Heaven, but I have never yet
read a description of Heaven where
there were two one for the rich and
one for fche poor. If the rich and poor
must live together forever in one
heaven hereafter, can not we do some
thing towards getting them acquaint
ed hero, so that they will not have to
be introduced when they reach the
other side? What are we doing to
solve this question? I believe that Tol
stoy is right when he says that the
great trouble today a trouble that
manifests itself in alUthese questions
is the lack of sympathy between man
.and man. Lack of sympathy, and for
twenty-nine years, clad in the garb of
a peasant and living the simple life of
a peasant, he has been preaching out
unto all the world a philosophy that
rests upon the doctrine "Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart -and thy neighbor as thyself."
The scholar must be something more
than a mental machine; he must be
something more than an expert cal
culator; he must be something more
than a shrewd and successful business
man. I think : sometimes we are in
clined to bestow upon a cultured man
