SirJamesCampbell,whoisto-day theheadoftheIrishjudiciary,declared notlaterthanMarch13,1914,ina speechdelivered-atSwansea,that: "Civilwaristhepathofdanger,but itisalsothepathofduty,andI amconvincedthatnootheralternativeislefttotheloyalistsof Ulster."

Whetherthismeansthathefailedto loveHimwholovedhim,Idonot know.Thisisoneofthefirstandlast sorrowsoftheproblem.

Thesequestionswerequitesimple,but notflattering.TheGoodMasterbeganbyaskingHisgoodyoungpupil,in plainEnglish,ifheknewandhadkept theTenCommandments,especially, "Donotcommitadultery.Donotkill. Donotsteal.Bearnotfalsewitness. Donotfraud.Honourthyfatherand mother."Butitwaspreciselyhis riches(andnothissenseofhonour) thatenabledhimtoanswer:"Master" (hehasleftoutthe"Good"Master), "allthesethingsIhaveobservedfrom myyouth."Thereisacertaingravityintheyoungman'slanguagethat suggestsgreatageandperhapsforebodesafall.

SafeguardsoftheWealthy. However,ifwemaytaketheyoung man's'accountofhimself,hisyouthhad beenshelteredbyallthosesafeguards which,byActsofParliamentforthe upliftingofthepoor,arichhomeis supposedtogive.Hehadanexcellenthome,withgrounds.Hisparents employedmanyservantstokeepall evilthings,andevenallpainfulthings, fromhim.Bodilyandmoraldiseases ofacontagiouskindwerecarefully quarantined.Astoadultery,which theEternalTruthfirstquestionshim about,hehadhardlyforthemoment heardtheword(though,tobesure, someoftheladiesandgentlemenwhom hispeopleknewwerenotbigotedin thematterofmatrimony.Again, whyshouldhekill,anddisgracethe familyname?Asforstealing,he hadnoneedtosteal,atleastpersonallyandinsuchfoolishwaysasleadto thedock.Falsewitnesshehadnever borne;hewasproudofthefactthat hispeoplealwaystoldthetruth;sohe said,andIsupposewemusttakehis wordforit.Nordidhedefraud,to supplementtheampleallowancegivenhimbyhisparents.Thethought thatperhapshisparentsdefrauded neverenteredhismind,orenteredonly asaheartlesstemptation.Nowonder thathegavehisparentsthatgracious etiquetteofhonourwhichaddsaspecialcharmtoeverywell-appointed household.

TheLord'sChallenge.

Itissignificantthat,onhearingthe pooryouth'sprofessionofhavingkept alltheTenCommandmentsfromhis "Youth"underhisfather'sroof,the EternalTruth(whoalsowastheSon ofarichFather!)didnotcongratulate himwithsuchwordsas"Begratefulto Godfortheblessingsofwealthyparents.Howmanyothersjustasdeserv. ingasyouarebornpoor."Heoffered nocongratulations,butachallenge.He showedatwhatpointtheyouth'slife fellshortofbeingperfect.

DisappointmentandSorrow.
