The Ruling Passion is a novel written by Henry Van Dyke. The story is set in the early 20th century and follows the life of a successful businessman named John Hodder. Hodder is a devout Christian who struggles to reconcile his faith with his desire for material success. He is torn between his love for his wife and his ambition to climb the social ladder. As he becomes more successful, he begins to question the morality of his actions and the values of the society he lives in. The novel explores themes of morality, faith, and the pursuit of wealth and power. Through Hodder's journey, the reader is forced to confront their own beliefs and values, and question the true meaning of success and happiness. The Ruling Passion is a thought-provoking and introspective novel that delves deep into the human psyche and the complexities of modern society.It was a magical performance. No one could withstand it. They all danced together, like the leaves on the shivering poplars when the wind blows through them. The gentle Serena was swept away from her stool at the organ as if she were a little canoe drawn into the rapids, and Bill Moody stepped high and cut pigeon-wings that had been forgotten for a generation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
