The higher or ethical and spiritual Ufe of man is social. Personality requires for its growth and healthy functioning communion with others, mutual intercourse, and service. The social institutions — family, community, church, and nation — are instruments or means of personal development and activity, and thence, so far, have an ethical character. The meaning and value of society is expressed in its mdividual members. The spiritual individual is at once, as potential spirit, the point of depart...ure for social activity and reform and, as actual spirit, the point of return, the living centre or core of social life. The final touchstone of a civilization's value is the men it produces. Digitized by Google THE CONDUCT OF THE SOCIAL LIFE 95 And these, I take it, are the principles of Jesus' social teaching.

He does not sketch out an ecclesiastical polity.
