STEERING AND CONTROLLING WHEEL. For the purpose of concentrating the control in a single wheel, which has not alone a turning motion, but is also mounted in such a manner that it will oscillate to and fro, is very desirable, and is adapted for any kind of machine. Pendulum Stabilizers.
We are in a state of anarchy, each of us with a different aim and shaping himself according to a different type; while the uneducated classes are entirely given over to the "natural man." He was firmly persuaded that we need religion, poor and rich alike. We need some controlling influence to bind together our scattered energies. We do not know what we are doing.
Louis took a decisive resolution. He went up to the mate, and, controlling himself with difficulty, said, "Do you know where the lemons are, Vasling?" "In the steward's room, I suppose," returned the mate, without stirring. "You know they are not there, as you have stolen them!" "You are master, Louis Cornbutte, and may say and do anything." "For pity's sake, André Vasling, my father is dying!
Miss Raeburn, controlling herself absolutely, partly because of Aldous's manner, partly because of the servants, took her guest upstairs straightway, put her on the sofa in a cheerful sitting-room with a bright fire, and then, shrewdly guessing that she herself could not possibly be a congenial companion to the girl at such a moment, whatever might have happened or might be going to happen, she looked at her watch, said that she must go down to dinner, and promptly left her to the charge of a kind elderly maid, who was to do and get for her whatever she would.

He said I was his father and his mother, and the direct descendant of all the gods in his Pantheon, besides controlling the destinies of the universe.

In their bewilderment and dismay, the people turned to the Church. Surely the doctrines of Christianity would stand like a barricade against this monstrous cult.

This was merely as it happened. As well get excited because a central hub drives a hundred outer wheels or because the whole universe wheels round the sun.
Miss Mattie slipped out of its wrapper the paper which Roger had brought to her from the post-office that same night, and began to read. Roger sat back in his chair with his eyes closed, meditating upon the theory of Chance, and wondering if, after all, there was a single controlling purpose behind the extraordinary things that happened.
Sybil looked after them with pallid cheeks and darkening brows; then she rushed up into her own chamber, locked her door, threw herself upon her bed and gave way to a storm of sobs and tears.
