On I'rlday nfloruefin Iho piiplltofthe high
ch(,eli vvere tieiiled ten lecture by I lev. Dr.
Themas 0. Apple, of Prnnldlii anil Man hall
college, his mibjcct In'lng "the cultivation of
virtue."
Dr. Apple started out by defining virtue
as "Ihnstmigthorthe will, te de the right,
and the geed." Tlm t.alin word rrrdM,
1 irtuli; used by Cleser Ie denefe alrciifith,
has (his Hlgnlllcallen In Htigll-h j also, since
It requires great strength mid courage te
resist evil, nt nil time, and the yielding te
temptation Is cowardly.
He. also defined virtue as "tlm Internal
meraf state,"
Viitttu Is iliisV.Jj'-saJicdjIeiluty. They are
related, us tlm Inward flint"! In! outward, as
thu Internal and the external, as the; sold ill ill
the body. They are Inseparable as cause and
t llect,
Although thcre are many virtues of
(piupcnitiiis the vlitue of humility, the
virtuoef teiuiHirniicf, the virtue el henpsty,
etc., yet virtue Isslngloeveiiasntreocovertd
with branches Is yet 0110 tree. All virtues
xprlng from euu soilrce the moral strength
of the vvjlL, If wi wish te lie virtuous at all
we must hsess all the virtues.
Virtues, like tlm Intellect, thu imagination,
eel., must Ixi cultivated, in order te be dp dp
veles'd. Hut unlike the Inlelhst and thu
imagination, it cannot Is) cultivated by read
ing, mid meditation, but nelely by praeficn.
In order te cultivate virtue we must first
cultivate the liedy; for In inuiycisesn weak
Ixsly contains a weak xv 111, nml consequently
weak morality. Dietetic and gv mnastit's
me two excellent means of cultiv'.itiug the
strength of the body. These should be used
te enable us the mere easily tecultlvate that
diamond of tlm soul virtue.
Secendly: we nheuld cultivate vlttuelu
the will. "'Ihellrst Ktage In this prixs-sH is
the uiiKclflng of the will. 'Ibis is nirom nirem
plishcd In chlldhe'sl by the discipline In the
family and in the nchoel. Thus) In Iho first
stage of iiuselllng the will, tlm authority Is
ever ns. The wsend stage is when the
authority Is in use; that Is when we govern
ourselves by hearkening te the voice of con
science, anil els-ying It precepts. ' his Is
nilhsl self-government, which means that
self governs and self Is governed.
ThisKelf-geverninent may be attained bv
etieying the commandments of the Lord anil
rtsdstlngevll.
There Is a negative and lswdive side of
governing the will. The former Is by re
sisting evil; the latter by doing tlm right.
Hy the former alone we are safe. The niga
live side comes first ; aid we must resist
evil befeie we can degiKMl. By doing both
we build up n moral character, which is mi
ai-cnptable tnltcruacle unto the I.erd.
Prem the time of Plate Iho virtues have
bet n classliied as ;
Pint, wisdom, the virtue of rcivm ; see
eud, valor, tlie v it tue of spirit ; tlilnl, temp
erance, the x Irttin ever the body ; fourth, jus
tice, the virtuoever all the faculties.
In conclusion, Dr. Apple admonished his
veung hearers that, as they w ere growing in
knowledge, they should glow also in virtue;
that as they cultivated tlm mind, they should
likewise cultivate the soul : for knewledge Is
power ; but vlrtue is happiness.
