WHETHER we consciously acknowledge this power or not, it is generally admitted that
There's a divinity that shapes our ends,
Rough-hew them how we will,
and each, in the working out of his destiny, holds in view the possible disappointment of his plans, however well laid or satisfactorily formulated. Some call it accident, chance; others, a spiritual law, ever operative, which when understood and obeyed brings harmony, but when violated, results in inevitable discord and desturction.
