They are the party denoted several times in the New Testament by the term "the High Priests." The nearest analogy to their position is supplied by the political popes and bishops of the Middle Ages. Their interests were political rather than spiritual. A considerable amount of independence had been left to the Jews in their own land.
The energetic, active characteristics of the West are due, then, to the high development of individualism. The entire Occidental civilization is an expression of free will. The communal nature of the Orient has not systematically given room for individual progress. The independent, driving man has been condemned socially.
"Oh, Louis!" she cried one morning, and her voice was full of pain, "how you are wasting this beautiful life that God has given you!"
