THE GODS ALWAYS PLAY
WITH LOADED DICE
We received a circular from a
large clothing firm the other
with the above quotation and the
explanation that it was another
way of saying that it is no use
bucking fate.
The saying has been stick ini'
in our mind since and a hall
wonder whether or not it is true.
Is our destiny shaped for us and
our slightest move mapped out
age be for we are born?
Do we move as pieces on a n
enormous chess board, propelled
by the unseen hands of Fate?
We have met many fata is s,
so called, and some wlu> rei!l.\
had faith in their com icl ions. Kn
it isn’t a pleasant thougnt that
all our striving is in vam; liia.
all our teachings and ideals are
useless except in so Liras they
also are a decree of Fate. It would
be a rude jolt to the believers ot
the doctrine:
1 am the Captain of my fate, I
I am the Master of my soul.;
Most ot us wish to think that!
we are responsible for our posi ;
tion when we have sueeeedea in;
life and wish lo blame itoir’Luek’-!
