The law of gravity is not hurt by every acci- dent, though our leg be broken. No more is the law of justice by our departure from it.
We are to know that we are never without a pilot. When we know not how to steer, and dare not hoist a sail, we can drift. The current knows the way, though we do not. When the stars and sun appear, when we have conversed with navigators who know the coast, we may begin to put out an oar and trim a sail. The ship of heaven guides itself, and will not accept a wood...en rudder.' Have you said to yourself ever : ' I abdicate all choice, I see it is not for me to interfere. I see that I have been one of the crowd ; that I have been a pitiful person, because I have wished to be my own master, and to dress and order my whole way and system of living. I thought I managed it very well. I see that my neighbors think so. I have heard prayers, I have prayed THE SOVEREIGNTY OF ETHICS 197 even, but I have never until now dreamed that this undertaking the entire management of my own aiFairs was not commendable.
