3 by introspection as by is bothered little by self-analysis and self-criticism,

intently interworld.

volving person- WE al praise or Dr. Fosdick blame, is given to brooding, introspection, self-analysis, self-crifi-cism, sées all experiences through the coloring medium of his own feelings, and in general is more vividly aware of the subjective than of the - objective world.

_ These two types do not consti-

tute two mutually exclusive temperaments with a clear boundary between. Each of us is more or less both. i Nor is the advantage altogether on either side. The balanced man

“ 1s a synthesis of the two. The ex-

treme “introvert,” unable to escape from his self-centered broodings, has a morbid mind. The extreme “extravert,” however, is unhealthy, too. He becomes an insensitive blunderer, a bull in a china shop. He is seldom at home with himself, Meditation is to him an alien art, and he has little of religion, His typical technique in facing life is to blow on his hands and lustily tackle it. He may be hearty but he is not deep; he may give himself to objective aims but the self he gives has limited dimensions.

Comes a Cropper

No exaggerated “extravert” ever wrote a great poem or symphony; he could not possibly be Wilber-

- force or Lincoln or Pasteur; and

in helping his friends, while he may outwardly give indispensable service, he cannot sustain them inwardly in trouble. He commonly comes a cropper when he himself faces situations that his outgoing, explosive energy‘is un-

RATION

fitted to handle, for then he tries with busy, mercurial activity to deal with profound sorrows or inner conflicts that cannot be so resolved. : Fundamentally he lacks a finelyshaded, sensitive emotional life, so that, not inwardly understanding himself, he fails in understanding others, In presenting the liberating experience by which the egocentric: man forgets himself into real personality, we are not asking the “introvert” to become an “extravert.” Neither type in its exaggerated form is desirable, and the ideal consummation includes the better elements of both.

Lincoln's Problem

emotional conflicts were fierce and sustained. In his early manhood he was not a unified and coherent person but a cave of Aeolus, full of storms. He had the makings of neurotic ruin in him. In 1841 he said, “I am now the most miserable man living. If what I feel were equally distributed to the whole human family, there would not be one cheerful face on earth.” He could easily have been an extreme example of the morbid “introvert,” but he was not. Obviously he did not solve his obsessing inner problems merely by tinkering with them. He outflanked them. The amazing development of his latter years into great personality came not so much by centering attention on himself as by forgetting himself. The mirrors of his mind turned more and more to windows. His devotion to a cause greater than himself transformed what he had learned in his long struggle with himself into insight,
