Therefore, the superior man being sincere and reverential, the whole world is conducted to a state of happy tranquillity. 6. It is said in the Book of Poetry, "I regard with pleasure your brilliant virtue, making no great display of itself in sounds and appearances." The Master said, " Among the appliances to transform the people, sounds and appearances are but trivial influences. It is said in another ode, 'His virtue is light as a hair.' Still, a hair will admit of comparison as to its size. "The doings of the supreme Heaven have neither sound nor smell.'-That is perfect virtue.” The above is the thirty-third chapter.

Thus it is that a con stant shuffle of terms seems to be going on, and the subject before us is all at once raised to a higher, and inaccessible platform. 6. Virtue in its highest degree and influence. 詩云一 -see the She-king, III, i. Ode VII. st. 7. The 'I' is God, who announces to king Wăn the reasons why he had called him to execute his judgments. Wan's virtue, not sounded nor emblazoned, might come near to the of last par., but Confucius fixes on the to show its shortcoming. It had some, though not large exhibition. He therefore quotes again from III, iii. Ode VI. st. 6, though away from the original intention of the words. But it does not satisfy him that virtue should be likened even to a hair. He therefore finally quotes III, i. Ode I, st. 7, where the imperceptible working of Hea ven (載=事), in producing the overthrow of the Yin dynasty, is set forth as without sound or smell. That is his highest conception of the nature and power of virtue. again from the work of the learner, free from all selfishness, watchful over himself when he is alone, he carries out his descrip tion, till by easy steps he brings it to the consummation of the whole empire tranquillized by simple and sincere reverentialness. He farther eulogizes its mysteriousness, till he speaks of it at last as without sound or smell. He here takes up the sum of his whole Work, and speaks of it in a compendious manner. Most deep and earnest was he in thus going again over his ground, admonishing and instructing men:-shall the learner not do his utmost in the study of the Work? INDEXES. INDEX I.
