Man's Personality.

Someone here queried the advisability of allowing men freedom to develop their personalities. Dr. Mitchell pointed out that it was useless forcing a man to be good: he must learn to be good of his own free will. If God had not realised the necessity of allowing man to exert his will freely, surely He would have "stuck up a notice and planted a policeman to stop Eve from eating the apple!" Self-imposed discipline is essential to the development of strong personality. So the individual must learn to govern and control his personal aims and ambitions according to the effect he wishes to have on the whole of society.

Just as the discussion was getting really interesting, Mr. Brooks' "Lights out!" brought the meeting to a close. All present accorded Dr. Mitchell a hearty vote of thanks for promoting one of the best discussions of the year.
