rejecting them. But Dr. Jekyll was the whole man; with both higher and lower impulses. To the latter he yielded, turning himself for a time into Mr. Hyde, with a sly wink at his own cleverness. He did not, indeed, want to be found out, but had not supposed that he was doing anything very bad until at last he allowed the evil habit to grow so strong that he could not resist it, and he was a permanent Hyde.

"Call it searing the conscience, call it dimming the moral sight, call it what you will, the process, in greater or less degree, is not confined to fiction. Men have started in life with good intentions and ended reprobates. When the catastrophy comes in such cases. When, for example; an embezzlement is discovered, a long series of gradually increasing malversations appear, beginning with a self-pretence of borrowing money to be replaced, growing by degrees more reckless and ending in desperation. All along there is a series also of excuses causing the edge of the conscience to become gradually dulled. The end was not willed from the beginning; there was no deliberate choice between honesty and a life of crime. One step led to another as with Dr. Jekyll, and till near the close the true state of affairs was not appreciated. That this is true is evident from the fact that the defaulter sometimes continues to hold a respected position, or even to be an active church member. Such a contradiction is certainly not always, and from the outset, conscious hypocrisy. There has been a gradual numbring of moral sensibility, a growing blindness of the soul, and when the light of such a man is darkness, how great is that darkness.

"On purpose I have sketched an extreme and sombre picture of trifling with that eye that started single; but in lesser degree every man must guard his vision jealously lest he fall short of the highest character that he would reach; for a dimness of the moral sight, a blunting of the keen edge of sensibility, is the most insidious of perils. This, I think, is what Phillips Brooks meant in a sermon I heard him preach half a century ago, when he spoke of the difference between a man's falling within his resolution and outside of it. The former is a conscious fault; recognized by the man as such, which he thoroughly regrets and resolves not to commit again; the latter an excused fault, condoned by himself, and therefore likely to be repeated. Such a fault may be small, but small faults gradually dim the keenness of discrimination between right' and wrong. Well did the old testament singer exclaim, "Take us the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vines.

"How should we keep our eye single and our vision clear? We cannot see our selves as others see us. Perhaps it would be neither pleasant nor profitable if we could. It might merely substitute one distorted image for another. But we can
