So I come back again to the condition that the Golden Rule, if one adopts it, is a difficult master to serve. The ships captain will not throw the compass overboard because the wind blows fair and the day is funny. For he knows, from the experiences of the oceans instability, that the danger days of storm are always just ahead. So the compass must always be handy and obedience to it must always be loyal. And so with the Golden Rullethe compass must be ever at hand through lifes journey. It will see us through trying times. And perhaps the most trying of all times comes when success is riding high and we may be tempted to throw the compass overboard. It is then we must remember that all good days in human life come from the mastery of the days of trouble that are forever recurrent.
