Serenity is Power. Every time we yield to an irritable impulse we find our- selves out of harmony with the universe.
Quick temper is an indication of a lack of men- tal and moral culture.
The ill-tempered Christian is not a Christian at all, no matter what his faith may be. There is but one evidence, I believe, in all His life that the gentle Christ ever showed even righteous indignation. Anger is crude, and is an element of our early savage ancestry, when men tore at each other like brutes. Many people imagine it is an evidence of a high spirit to be quick-tempered. It is merely an indication of crudity.
