There IS, AND ALWASY HAS BEEN A WIDESPREAD belief in Fate or Destiny, that is and eternal and inscrutable Power which apportions definite ends to both individuals and nations. This belief has arisen from long obversation of the facts of life. Men are conscious that there are certain occurrrences which they cannot control and are power less to avert.
Birth and Death for instance are inevitable and many of the incidents of life appear equally inevitable. Men strain every nerve for the attainment of certain ends and gradually they become conscious of a Power which seems to be not of themselves, which frustrates their puny efforts and laughs as it were at their fruitless striving and struggle.
