No. 4 SIMPLE DUTY. (Extract from "The Simple Life.") We have yearly three or four high feast days, and many ordinary ones; there are like wise some very great and dark combats to wage, but beside these is the multitude of plain and simple duties. Now, while in the great encounters our equipment is generally adequate, it is precisely in the little emergencies that we are found wanting. Without fear of being misled by a paradoxical form of thought, I affirm, then, that the essential thing is to fulfill our simple duties and exercise elementary justice. In general, those who lose their souls do so not because they fail to rise to difficult duty, but because they neglect to perform that which is simple. Let us illustrate this truth. He who tries to penetrate into the humble underworld of society is not slow to discover great misery, physical and moral. And the closer he looks, the greater number of unfortunatesdoes he discover-, till in the end this assembly of the wretched appears to him like a great black world, in whose presence the individual and his means of relief are reduced to helplessness. It is true that he feels impelled to run to the succor of these unfortunates, but at the same time he asks himself, "what is the use?" The case is certainly heartrending. Some, in despair, end by doing nothing. They lack neither- pity nor good intention, but these bear no fruit. They are wrong. Often a man has not the means to do good on a large scale, but that is not a reason for failing to do it at all. So many people absolve themselves from any action, on the ground that there is too: much to do! They should be recalled to simple duty, and this duty in the case of which we speak is that each one. according to his resources, leisure and capacity, should create relations for himself among the world's disinherited.
