Its office is to call forth power of every kind, power of thought, affection, will, and outward action ; power to observe, to reason, to judge, to contrive ; power to adopt good ends firmly, and to pursue them efficiently ; power to govern ourselves, and to influence others ; power to gain and to spread happiness.
