Our conduct is largely governed by a system of emotional attractions. Orators hold sway oyer large audiences by their great power of emotional - attraction. Fakers'rob us of our valuables be- h' cause -they are able %to direct the n< trend 4f our emotions along the path tc that malte war and' lead us into it. We go gladly, because of their pbwer" di of arousing that primitive .uj-ge to Ci fight which lies embedded* within us. w Our moral conduct is- largely con- e< trolled by emotional persuasion. Chris tl tiunitfy as practiced is built upon an Pi snmtionaf -base?' ^ ' , in Education tends to lead us' away .cs from the complete control,of emotions. w In other words to a degree it tends P? to ma^e us the masters of our cmo- n< tions instead of oue emotionn .'the mas -in lers of us. i Such is well, for nature is quite an ri enemy to use when flit is not under control but a friend when directed in et the proper channels. Don't mi&un- ai [lerstand us tcr mean that we predict to or eVen hope for' the time to come li1 when our, emotions will b6 put the background or destroyed, for such w in impossible as well as undesirable.
