The Barrier of Personality Edna Miller, '17 VER since the study of science has fired the ambitions of man, he has spent his chief efforts in making the world conform to his scientific rules. He has mastered the natural elements until God's power seems almost overruled. He has investigated, experimented and proved, until every creature of the universe has surrendered his pedigree and biology smiles in triumph. The laws ruling man's action, the impulse behind the deed, are all card catalogued. Even man's intellect, that throned monarch, has yielded the key to its laboratory, and psychology will soon be an exact science. Yet man still stands like . \lexander, gazing for more worlds to conquer, but one there is which defies him! In the battlescarred field of man's scientific frenzy, one noble fortress stands impregnable. To speak in Emerson's tongue, "The philosophy of six thousand years has not searched the chambers and magazines of the soul." Personality-soul, still is indefinable. What is it that distinguishes one man from another? How does it chance that in all the wide world no two human beings are exactly alike? There are twins so similar that one almost mistakes one for the other. There are strange coincidences of look or manner bet"·een two :itizens of opposite sides of the globe. Yet there is always some difference, some elusive quality that proves the uniqueness of character, and it is this endless variety that has capitalized Personalit) and made it a word so adored.

It is 1lmost amusing to note how the commercial and professional worlds ,t re making an asset of this unpro t'• sional quality . . \pplications for teachers, sale . men, doctors or la,\ yers demand tint magic qualification "personality'' a, \' di as those other stock ph;ases, "e ;ficiency" and "specialization." In other words, since man cannot dissect and ca talogue personality, he is tr} ing to chain the winged Pegasus to the eart h-bound car of materialism; and m: ,.re trulJ thankful that the ste ul is stronge r than the chariot, else his wing~ would be broken and his spirit crushed. In every field of activity the personality man wins the game. Without it he has no chance of success; pos;;cs!'>ing 1t his victory is already won. The world rushes to adore the forceful, magm tic character, no matter whether hL be a king of virtue or a rascallv knavC' . Indeed we are so accustomed to thi lockstone of power that ambition rises still higher and demands, "Personality plus," admitting in its indefinite "plus" the final sovereignt) of the soul itself. It is one of the fallacies of our et. ucational sy.,,tem that we speak of the ''average'' child, the ''average" man. There is no such creation for the real man is hi s personality, and that admits of no average. There is as much variety of soul as there is number of men. Personality is the expression of the soul- the divine in man that hold · him to dt, inity. "The soul that rises with us. our hfe's star

Hath had elsewhere its setting, and cometh from afar." T o quote Emerson again from his "Oversoul :" "When it breathes through his intellect it is genius; when it breathes through his will it is virtue; when it flows through his affection it is love. And the blindness of the intellect begins when it would be something of itself. The weakness of the will begins when the individual would be something of himself." Unless the soul rule the man, he is base. I f someone question the wisdom of the soul rule, let him seek the answer in himself. "We know better than we do. We do not possess ourselves, and we know at the same time that we are much more. I feel the same truth how often in my trivial conversations with my neighbors that something higher in each of us overlooks this by-play and Jove nods to Jove from behind each of us." There are always motives and impulses in us that are higher than our expression of them. If it were humanly possible to live up to the best there is in us, if our high impulses ruled every action, our heaven would be on earth. It is only in rare moments that we feel the thrill and ecstacy of perfect accord with divine will, yet always its message is in our hearts and tends to elevate our actions, and the degree with which it influences us determines the value of our personality. Harry Emerson Fosdick has so beautifully put it thus : "No man should ever grope outside of his best self to find God. The thinker is of nobler worth than any external thing that he can think about; the seer is more wonderful than all he sees. Per~ sonality is the one infinitely valuable treasure in the universe." Now you are wondering why, after all this eulogy I have called personality a barrier, and if it is such a barrier to what? Let me ask in reply then what Jesus

Christ meant when He said, ".\ man's foes shall be they of his own household." Why does it so ofte n happen that the pcvple who attract us most by the f urcc of their personality, those \\ ho are most closely connected with us b) common interests are so rare!) our real intimates? W hy? Becau~e we are too sdfish to grant to another the right to his personality. Let me illustrate. see a flash of genius in a fr llow studen t and an· attracled at once by the promise of greater wealth in store. Yd, unless we are rarely unselfish, the moment we try to sound the depth. o f that genius it exposes our own small measure and shame breeds envy that creates a barrier to real friendship. Or perhaps an acquaintance standB a severe test of will power and conquers a battle that has tried his soul. That magnificent strength fascinau!~ us, creates an admiration that craves a doseF bond. So aga in t wo personalities approach, ready to en joy each other's com pany. But the strength of will which gained the big Yictory will shame our own weak will which has lost smaller ones, and rather than open our weakness to the strengthening influrncc of a larger soul, we shrink back in proud aloofness, and anothe r ba rrier is made. Prrhaps some common interest cl ra,YS two isolated men. T hr art ist's mind has been granted to both, and thi ,; brm,\ would at• tract thLm. Bul sdf-p reservat ion demands the dest ruct ion of a ll ri vals nn the road to fa me a 111I Lht.: common k :tr of the other's success wi ll free ze the warm friendship that should be there. The e, sence of e,·en pcrsoa lity bar· rier, when reduced to its lowest term~. is selfishness, :m cl in .:; o fru· as sclfi shnc~s kills man's highest ~elf will he he cut off from the per~ona lities thaL ;.tlract h[s own.

I11 Biblieal history there stands forth a r har;icter possessing all the stern simplicit1 and stately majesty of a classical hero. Ile li ,·cd in an age when Law and (.;overnment were unknown; when individuals did that which seemed right in their n eyes. From birth he was di sciplined in the practice of temperance and he grew up with the strength of a H ercules and the patience of a Job. Men of force are generally men of fa ults and we find that Samson's feelings and impulses rose with the might of mountain freshets. With ease came selfindulgence and his passions were friends, that lurked in ambush within his bod) . The temion of his Moral nature being loosened, he plunged into sin, and soon Delilah, charming him with her beaut y, was able to deliver him to his enemie;:;. Then for years, bereft, forlorn, blind, Samson ~oiled as a slave, grinding corn for the soldiers who kept him prisoner. The essence of the story is that the neglect or improper use of our divinely endowed faculties sees them removed from the sphere o f our control-sometimes en :n entirely destroyed. It is an inexorable la,v of God and Nature, that he who disuses or misuses a faculty must

Whet11er there be other less conspicuous object , about the room I know not. for the sunlight is so discouraged before it squeez~s thru the ten-year old soot on the windows that it is impossible for one to see at all until he or she has had his or her l'yes turnl'd down to the dimness. Bm there is always ample time for that, as the intervab between the exits of the patients are ahrnys long and aggravating-. But ,vhen the summons actually com,·s - ,vhen the "Next, please," becom,:s painfully personal, when y ou are ushered into the inner chamber, as it 1n ·rL·. 'tis then that all the horror of the situation is burned into your soul. Oh! that red plush chair! That awful UJ>-UJ>up to regions whence no retreat is possible! An I while your friend, the dentist, collects the required utensil~. you sta•·l· in consternation at the wall in front co ,·ered with all manner of electric buttons at the little bmd on one side with the water running around for you to spit in, and that great big grinder glowering down from above. Then " ·ith inexpressible calmness he brings f~rth the pinchers, the pliers, the squeezers, the cotton jar, the squirter. and while you stifkn your legs and thro,,· back your head h"tween the two little biscuit cushion s, hi.' most securely fastens the iron l'ag-e about your tomh. the rubber mask about your chin, the linen towd about your neck. an i with a look of imperturbable g rimness begins, "Open your mouth.'' ,In

THE PLODDER

"·1-:

often mis-jmke men, for the brilliant, congenial and talented man, we re tdily pn:did a succi.:ss ful career; while for the seemingly slow and untalented m .1.n we unhi.:s itating-ly express our doubts. But repeatedly in e\·cr) walk of life, thl' plo•lckr has excdlcd the shining light both in qualitv and quantity of work. For this appan:nt contradiction there is a reason. Eve1 y indh•idual is more or less conscious of his ability or lack of abilit,·. Too often the ta.lentL-d man conscious of his natural abilitr, depends entirely on that to get him throu~h life. Thus he drifts follo\\'inl-!' the line of least resistance, never dc,·elc,ping his God gin;n ,,,iwcrs, ancl a,; his brillance fades he fades. On the othi.:r hand, the plmldcr, c-.mscious of his ddicH.:ncil.'s rcalir.cs if ht.! ever gets anywhere that he mu,;t pay the price of hard and uncc-isin.~ toil. As he pays it, dormant powers ·within awaken, unfold and develop, and \\ ith the passing of time mt•n learn to recogni'.'.e am! apprcci.Ltc his real worth. So foJ],,w ·)!rnldcr take c mrw.::-c, for it is a kn·,wn fact tlnt men in colk:g-e were in the C D and F class, have been, by continu-'d effort, winners in the long run of life. Fur after all the rl'al test is a willingncs~ to work and an effort to pul into life your bi.:st.

the strong Denison aggregation in th 1 first game of what promises to be ; splendid season. For years Otterbem has succumbed to Denison, but at last th· SJK'ed is broken. The Granville team w.1 s othplayed at every point uf the game. Only once was the Tan and Cardinal goal threatened; by a series of speul} passes the oval was advanced to Otterbein'. ten y, rd line, but our line held and took the ball when a touchback was called for 111 incomplete pass over Otterbein's goal line. The scoring came in the middle of the second quarter by means of a 30 ya n i pass b) Lingrel to Ream. Ling-rel kicked goal. Throughout the contest th; s mighty ex-captain was the dazzling star. :\tiller and Peden at emls did exceptional work at blocking and tackling.

Janet Gilbert is going home to act as bridesmaid at a wedding. \II the girls are green with envy, for being a bridesmaid is absolutely the most exciting thing-next to being the bride!

Y. W. C. A. NOTES. Edna Miller, our president, had charge of the "\\ elcome Meeting" the first Tue,day evening. lt was 1,lanned primarily to interest the new girls, and we had a , en nice meeting. "Excuses" was the subject which Gladys Lake ably discussed. She succeeded in driving the lesson pretty "close home." "College Thie, es"- a queer subject, isn't it? But Janet Gilbert persuaded us that we all belong to that class by cau,ing to others as loss of time, character and opportunity. "Is it for Me?" Twenty-fi, e new girls an,wered in the affirmati,e and joined Y. \\. at our · Recognition Meeting." \\' e ,urely are gratified to see such splendid ntere,t manifested. \nnette Brane was cader for the evening.
