unruled by Principle. This enemy
of the individual and the common
good appears early in human life,
and is ever seeking to control us,
binding us to the government of |
God. 1t is often manifest in the |
early acts of the infant insisting |
upon its own desires. The youth Is
frequently obsessed by this unseen
evil in influence, and goes his err
ing way, his thought shut to any
counsel but his own selfish, willful |
purpose The adult often mistakes
this mental usurper for true manli-
ness, believes he must gain success
by it, dominate those about him
with it, and in general be little god
bossing his own little kindom and
his subjects with this unholy power.
The human will is the autocrat
ruler, the tyrant, and the criminal
of the mental realm.
A friend once owned a parrot which
would say day after day, 81 want
what want, | want what I want"
This Is ever the cry of the human
will. 1t wants its way, no other.
Blind, selfish, unreasoning 1t drives
its victims headlong into the pit
falls Of destruction and furnishes
The impetus for the basest of hui
man passions, malice and lust. Chris
tian Science binds with everlasting
chains this conspirator against hap
piness, goodness, and brotherhood.
1t dethrones any belief in or submis-
sion to mortal or evil mind and
establishes in our thought the will
)f God to be the one determining
power.
