of the common wind which blows.

IT IS A QUESTION OF THE USE OF THE RUDDER.

Two ships pass, each with its sails filled out by the same wind.
The difference in direction is accounted for by the handling of
the rudder and the adjustment of the sails.

What the force of the wind is to the ship, our varying emotions,
passions, ambitions, appetites and aspirations are to us. All of
these constitute the power which may be called HUMAN FORCE.

This power differs in different individuals, as the wind differs
on different days. It may blow from the east or the west or the
north or the south. However it may blow, it can be forced, by
proper steering, to send the ship in any direction desired.

It is harder to beat against the wind, of course, and many men
have hard struggles to steer themselves to a good port in the
face of an adverse start, a hard beginning, or inclinations
difficult to overcome. ----

But in all of us the force exists which can be made to move us in
the right direction--the force within us can be MADE to obey
our will, if the will be strong and the hand on the rudder
steady. This can be proved--for instance:

There is a certain force in human beings called LOVE. This
force leads sometimes, and happily it leads usually, to
domesticity, morality, care of children and lifelong devotion.
