CHAPTER IX.
NOTORIETY AND THE INGLORIOUS GOOD.
NIE of the chief puerilities of
our time is the love of adver-
To emerge from |
tisement.
obscurity, to be in the public
eye, to make oneself talked of—some
people are so consumed with this desire
that we are justified in declaring them
attacked with an itch for publicity. In
their eyes obscurity is the height of ig-
nominy, so they do their best to keep
their names in every mouth. In their
obscure position they look upon them-
~alves as lost, like shipwrecked sailors
whom a night of tempest has cast on
some lonely rock and who have re-
course to cries, volleys, fire, all the sig-
nals imaginable, to let it be known that
they are there. Not content with set-
ting off crackers and innocent rockets,
many, to make themselves heard at
any cost, have gone to the length of
perfidy and even crime. The incendi-
ary Erostratus has made numerous dis-
ciples. How many men of today have
become notorious for having destroyed
something of mark, pulled down—or
fried to pull down—some man’s high
reputation; signaled their passage, in
short, by a scandal, a meanness or an
atrocity!
This rage {or notoriety does not surge
through cracked brains alone or only
in the worid of adventurers, charla-
tans and pretenders generally. It has
spread abroad in all the domains of
life, spiritual and material. Politics,
literature, even science, and, most odi-
ous of all, philanthropy and religion
are infected. Trumpets announce a
good deed done, and souls must be
saved with din and clamor. Pursuing
its way of destruction,. the rage for
noise has entered places ordinarily si-
lent, troubled spirits naturally serene
and vitiated in large measure all activ-
ity for good. The abuse of showing
everything, or, rather, putting every-
thing on exhibition, the growing inca-
pacity to appreciate that which chooses
to remain hidden and the habit of esti-
mating the value of things by the rack-
et they make have come to corrupt the
judgment of the most earnest men, and
one sometimes wonders if society will
not end by transforming itself into a
great fair. with each one beating his
drum in front of his tent.
Gladly do we quit the dust and din
of like exhibitions to go and breathe
peacefully in some faroff nook of the
woods, all surprise that the brook is so
limpid, the forest so still, the solitude
so enchanting. Thank God there are
yet these uninvaded corners! How-
ever formidable the uproar, however
deafening the babel of merry andrews,
it cannot carry beyond a certain limit.
It grows faint and dies away. The
realm of silence is vaster than the
realm of noise. Herein is our consola-
tion.
Rest a moment on the threshold of
this infinite world of inglorious good,
of quiet activities. Instantly we are
under the charm we feel in stretches
of untrodden snow, in hiding wood
flowers, in disappearing pathways that
seen tn lead to horizons without bourn.
The world is so made that the engines
of labor, the most active agencies, are
everywhere concealed. Nature affects
a sort of coquetry in masking her op-
erations. [It costs you pains to spy her
out, ingenuity to surprise her. if you
would see anything but results and
penetrate the secrets of her laborato-
ries. Likewise in human society the
forces which move for good remain in-
visible,’ and even in our individual
lives; what is best in us is incom-
municable, buried in the depths of us.
And the more vital are these sensibil-
ities and intuitions, confounding them-
selves with the very source of our be-
ing. the less ostentatious they are.
They think themselves profaned by ex-
posure to the light of day.
‘There is a secret and inexpressible
joy in possessing at the heart of one's
being. an interior world known only
to God, whence, nevertheless, come im-
———
pulses, enthusiasms, the daily renewal !
of courage and the miost powerful! 1o-
tives for activity among our fellow
men. When this intimate life loses in
intensity, when man neglects it for
what is superficial, he forfeits in worth
all that he gains in appearance. By a
sad fatality it happens that in this
way we often become less admirable
in proportion as we are more admired.
And we remain convinced that what is
best in the world is unknown there,
for only those know it who possess it,
and If they speak of it in so doing they
-«destroy its charm.
There are passionate lovers of nature
“whom she fascinates most in byplaces,
dn the cool of forests, in the clefts of
©anyqas, evelywhere that the careless
tion. Forgetting time and the life of
the world they pass days in these in-
violate stillnesses, watching a bird
build its nest or brood over its young
or some little groundling at its gra-
clous play. So to seek the good within
himself one must go where he no lon-
ger finds constraint or pose or “gallery”
of any sort, but the simple fact of a
life made up of wishing to be what it
is good for it .to be, without troubling
ut anything else.
rh A permitted to record here
some obgervations made from life? As
no names are given they cannot be
considered indiscreet.
In my ‘country of Alsace, on the soli-
tary route whose interminable ribbon
. stretches on and on under the forests
of the Voszes, there is a stonebreaker
whom I have seen at his work for
thirty years. The first time I came
upon him I was a young student set-
ting out with swelling heart for the
great city. The sight of this man did
me good, for he was humming a song
as he broke his stones. We exchanged
a few words, and he said at the end:
“Well, goodby, my boy! Good courage
and good luck!” Since then I have
passed and repassed along that same
route, under circumstances the most
diverse, painful and joyful. The stu-
dent has finished his course, the break-
er of stones remains what he was. He
has taken a few more precautions
against the seasons’ storms, a rush
mat protects his back, and his felt hat
is drawn farther down to shield his
face. But the forest is always send-
ing back the echo of his valiant ham-
mer. How many sudden tempests have
broken over his bent back, how much
adverse fate has fallen on his head,
on his house, on his country! He con-
tinues to break his stones, and coming
and going I find him by the roadside,
smiling in spite of his age and his
wrinkles, benevolent, speaking—above
all in dark days—those simple words
of brave men, which have so much ef-
fect when they are scanned to the
breaking of stones.
It would be quite impossible to ex-
press the emotion the sight of this sim-
ple man gives me, and certainly he
has no suspicion of it. T know of noth-
ing more reassuring and at the same
time more searching for the vanity
which ferments in our hearts than this
coming face to face with an obscure
worker who does his task as the oak
grows and as the good God makes his
sun to rise, without asking who is
looking on.
TI have known, too, a number of old
teachers, men and women who have
passed their whole life at the same oc-
cupation, making the rudiments of hu-
man knowledge and a few principles
of conduct penetrate heads sometimes
harder than the rocks. They have done
it with their whole soul throughout the
length of a hard life in which the at-
tention of men had little piace. When
they lie in their unknown graves nc
one remembers them but a few humble
people like themselves, but their rec
ompense is in their love. No one is
greater than these unknown.
How many hidden virtues may one
not discover—if he know how to search
—among people of a class he often rid-
icules without perceiving that in so do-
ing he is guilty of cruelty, ingratitude
and stupidity! I mean old maids. Peo-
ple amuse themselves with renrarking
the surprising dress and ways of some
of them—things of no consequence, for
that matter. They persist also in re-
minding us that others, very selfish,
take interest in nothing but their own
comfort and that of some cat or canary
upon which their powers of affection
center, and certainly these are not out-
done in egoism by the most hardened
celibates of the stronger sex. But what
we oftenest forget is the amount of
self sacrifice hidden modestly away in
so many of these truly admirable lives.
Is it nothing to be without home and
its love, without future, without per-
sonal ambition? to take upon oneself
that cross of solitary life so hard to
bear, especially when there is added
the solitude of the heart? to forget
oneself and have no other interests
than the care of the old, of orphans,
the poor, the infirm—those whom the
brutal mechanism of life casts out
among its waste? Seen from without
these apparently tame and lusterless
lives rouse pity rather than envy.
Those who approach gently sometimes
divine sad secrets, great trials under-
gone, heavy burdens beneath which
too fragile shoulders bend; but this is
only the side of shadow.
We should learn to know and value
this richness of heart, this pure good-
ness, this power to love, to console, to
hope, this joyful giving up of self, this
persistence in sweetness and forgive-
ness even toward the unworthy. Poor
old maids!
How many wrecked lives |
have you rescued, how many wounded! |
have you healed, how many wanderers
have you gently led aright, how many
naked have you clothed, how many
orphans have you taken in, and how
many strangers who would have been
alone in the world but for you—you
who yourself are often remembered
of no one. 1 mistake. Some one
knows you: It is that great mysterious
Pity which keeps watch over our lives
and suffers in our misfortunes, TFor-
gotten like you, often blasphemed, it
has confided to you some of its heav-
enliest messages, and that perhaps is
why above your gentle comings and
goings we sometimes scem to hear the
rustling wings of ministering angels.
The good hides itself’ under so many
different forms that one has often as
much pains to discover it as to unearth
the best concealed crimes. A Rus-
sian doctor who had passed ten years
of his life in Siberia, condemned for
political reasons to forced labor, used
to find great pleasure in telling of the
generosity, courage and humanity he
had observed, not only among a large
number of the condemned, but also
among the convict guards. For the
moment one is tempted” to ‘exclaim,
“Where will not the good hide away!”
And, in truth, life offers here great
surprises and embarrassing contrasts.
There are good men, officially so rec-
ognized, quoted among theif associ-
ates—I had almost said guaranteed by
. the government or the church — who
can be reproached with nothing but
dry and hard hearts, while we are as-
tonished to encounter in certain fallen
human beings the most genuine ten-
derness and, as it were, a thirst for
self devotion.
I should like to speak next, apropos
of the inglorious good. of a class that
today it is thought quite fitting to
treat with the utmre * one sidedness. I
mean the rich. Some people think the
last word is said when they have stig-
matized that infamy, capital. For
them, all who possess great fortunes
are monsters gorged with the blood of
the miserable. Others, not so declama-
tory, persist, however, in confounding
riches with egoism and insensibility.
Justice should be visited on these er-
rors, be they involuntary or calculated.
No doubt there are rich men who con-
cern themselves with nobody else, and
others who do good only with osten-
tation. Indeed, we know it too well.
But does their inhumanity or hypocrisy
take away the value of the good that
sthers do and that they often hide with
a modesty so perfect?
I knew a man to whom every mis-
fortune had come which can strike us
in our affections. He had lost a be-
loved wife, had seen all his children
buried one after another. But he had
a great fortune, the result of his own
labor. Living in the utmost simplic-
ity, almost without personal wants, he
spent his time in searching for oppor-
tunities to do good and profiting by
them. How many people he surprised
in flagrant poverty, what means he
combined for relieving distress and
lighting up dark lives, with what
kindly thoughtfulness he took his
friends unawares, no one can imagine.
He liked to do good to others and en-
joy their surprise when they did not
know whence the relief came. It
pleased him to repair the injustices of
fortune, to bring tears of happiness in
families pursued by mischance. He
was continually plotting, contriving,
machinating in the dark, with a child-
ish fear of being caught with his hand
in the bag. The greater part of these
fine deeds were not known till after
his death; the whole of them we shall
never know.
He was a socialist of the right sort,
for there are two kinds of them. Those
who aspire to appropriate to them-
selves a part of the goods of others
are numerous and commonplace. To
belong to their order it suffices to have
a big appetite. Those who are hun-
gering to divide their own goods with
men who have none are rare and pre-
cious, for to enter this choice company
there is need of a brave and noble
heart free from selfishness and sensi-
tive to both the happiness and unhappi-
ness of its fellows. Fortunately the race
of these socialists is not extinct, and I
feel an unalloyed satisfaction in offer-
ing them a tribute they never claim.
I must be pardoned for dwelling up-
on this. Tt does one good to offset the
bitterness of so many infamies, so
many calumnies, so much charlatan-
ism, by resting the eyes upon some-
thing more beautiful, breathing the
perfume of these stray corners where
simple goodness flowers.
A lady, a foreigner, doubtless little
used to Parisian life, just now told me
with what horror the things she sees
here inspire her — these vile posters,
these “yellow” journals, these women
with bleached hair, this crowd rushing
to the races, to dance halls, to roulette
tables, to corruption—the whole flood
of superficial and mundane life. She
did not speak the word Babylon, but
doubtless it was out of pity for one of
the inhabitants of this city of per.
dition.
“Alas, yes, madam; these things are
sad, but you have not seen all.”
“Heaven preserve me from that!”
“On the contrary, I wish you could
see everything, for, if the dark side
is very ugly, there is so much to
atone for it. And, believe me, madam,
you have simply to change your quar-
ter or observe it at another hour. For
instance, take the Paris of early morn-
ing. It will offer much to correct
your impressions of the Paris of the
night. Go see, among so many other
working people, the street sweepers,
who come out at the hour when the
revelers and malefactors go in. Ob-
serve beneath these rags those cary
atid bodies, those austere faces! How
serious they are at their work of
sweeping away the refuse of the
night's revelry! One might liken
them to the prophets at Ahasuerus’
gates. There are women among them,
many old people. When the air is cold
they stop to blow their fingers and-then
go at it again. So it is every day. And
they, too, are inhabitants of Paris:
“Go next to the faubourgs, to the
factories, especially the smaller ones, |
where the children or the employers
labor with the men.
How ready and willing these young
irls seem as they come gayly down
from their distant quarters to the
shops and stores and offices of the
city! Then vigit the homes from which
they come. See the woman of the
people at her work. Her husband's
wages are modest, their dwelling is
cramped, the children are many, the
father is often harsh. Make a collec-
tion of the biographies of lowly peo-
ple, budgets of modest family life;
loook at them attentively and long.
“After that go see the students. Those |
who have scandalized you in the streets
are numerous, but those who labor
hard are legion, only they stay at
home and are not talked about. If
you knew the toil and dig of the Latin
quarter! You find the papers full of
the rumpus made by a certain set of
youths who call themselves students.
The papers say enough of those who
break windows, but why do they make
no mention of those who: spend th
nights toiling over problems? Becauseif
it wouldn’t interest the public. Yes,
when now and then one of them, a "ijt
medical student perhaps, dies a victim
Wateh the army 1
of workers marching to their tasks. j
te professional duty the matter has
two lines in the dailies. A drunken
brawl gets half a column, with every
detail elaborated. Nothing is lacking
but the portraits of the heroes, and not
always that.
“I should never end were I to try
to point out to you all that you must
go to see if you would see all. You
would needs make the tour of society
at large, rich and poor, wise and ig-
norant. And certainly you would not
judge so severely then. Paris is a
world, and here, as in the world in
general, the good hides away while the
evil flaunts itself. Observing only the
surface, you sometimes ask how there
can possibly be so much riffraff. When,
on the contrary, you look into the
depths you are astonished that in this
troublous, obscure and sometimes
frightful life there can be so much
virtue.”
But why linger over these things?
Am I not blowing trumpets for those
who hold trumpet blowing in horror?
Do not understand me so. My aim is
this: To make men think about un-
ostentatious goodness—above all, to
make them love it and practice it.
The man who finds his satisfaction in
things which glitter and hold his eyes
is lost, first, because he will thus see
evil before all else, then because he
gets accustomed to the sight of only
such good as seeks for notice, and there-
fore easily succumbs to the temptation
to live himself for appearances. Not
only must one be resigned to obscurity;
he must love it if he does not wish to
slip insensibly into the ranks of figu-
rants, who preserve their parts only
while under the eyes of the spectators
and put off in the wings the restraints
imposed on the stage.
Here we are in the presence of one
of the essential elements of the moral
life. And this which we say is true
not only for those who are called hum-
ble and whose lot it is to pass unre-
marked; it is just as true, and more
so, for the chief actors. If you would
not be a brilliant inutility, a man of
gold lace and plumes, but empty inside,
you must play the star role in the sim.
ple spirit of the most obscure of your
collaborators. He who is nothing worth
except on hours of parade is worth less
than nothing. Have we the perilous
honor of being always in view, of
marching in the front ranks? Let us
take so much the greater care of the
sanctuary of silent good within us; let
us give to the structure whose facade
is seen of our fellow men a wide foun-
dation of simplicity, of humble fidel-
ity, and then, out of sympathy, out of
gratitude, let us stay near our broth-
ers who are unknown to fame. We
owe everything to them, do we not? 1
call to witness every one who has
found in life this encouraging experi-
ence—that stones hidden in the soil hold
up the whole edifice. All those who
arrive at having a public and recog-
nized value owe it to some humble
spiritual ancestors, to some forgotten
inspirers. A small number of the good,
among them simple women, peasants,
vanquished heroes, parents as modest
as they are revered, personify for us
beautiful and noble living; their exam-
ple inspires us and gives us strength.
The remembrance of them is forever
inseparable from that conscience be-
fore which we arraign ourselves. In
our hours of trial we think of them,
courageous ahd serene, and our bur-
dens lighten. In clouds they compass
us about, these witnesses invisible and
beloved who keep us from stumbling
and our feet from falling in the battle,
and day by day do they prove to us
that the treasure of humanity is its
hidden goodness.
