Man m the Light of Evolution 



They willed one thing to which all other things 

 were subordinated and made subservient, and 

 therefore they accomplished It. The wedge 

 will rend rocks, but its edge must be sharp and 

 single; If It be double, the wedge Is bruised In 

 pieces, and will rend nothing." 



This is so clearly a truism of success every- 

 where In life that It needs no further proof or 

 Illustration. Yet It should be emphasized espe- 

 cially of the rule of right and duty In the heart. 

 For these will accept no divided allegiance. If 

 they cannot rule supreme they abdicate and for- 

 sake their former kingdom and home. 



To persuade men to such loyalty, and thus to 

 hold them to the only path of permanent prog- 

 ress, is no easy matter. The Individual must 

 establish the closest relation, and conform to 

 and live amid, these Invisible and intangible 

 realities. Motives must be presented which will 

 appeal to the cool judgment of the intellect, but 

 which will go far deeper. Through the intel- 

 lectual Interest they must reach the heart and 

 arouse the glow of feeling, which alone can 

 stimulate the will, and thus permeate and mold 

 the whole being and life. Only thus can con- 

 formity be assured.
