Building a Character
AnalogyObject Lesson★★★★With cobs a child can build a play-house, or nothing, as it wills. So we can all, with the opportunities of life, build ourselves a character which others will either love or detest, one in which purity or vice predominates, just as we may decide.
The point
Just as a child can build from cobs or build nothing, we have the power to build ourselves a character others will love or detest—purity or vice, the choice is ours.
