to the neighbour demands so small a sacri-
fee at your hands. We cannot too strong
ly bear in mind that this principle of self
sacrifice is essential to all true amiabilitv,
There can be no real %neighborly love with
out it. Sacrifice in little daily matters.
This may be called " laying down our life
(our selfish willis for our friends"
Beware of alteration! Our subtle
tempters lead US on gradually. but soon
fan the fame of anger. The first unkind
word leads to a second, that to a third.
until you find yourself involved in a quar-
rel, which may perhaps last for hours, and
leave bitter traces behind. Check your.
self, therefore, at the first word, give your
evil passions no tine to get Roadway.
Watch against what may be called
disagreeable states Of mind, when one is
disposed to indulge in disagreeable remarks
Retain your thoughts, which too often
lead to hard words. A thousand thoughts
may pass through your mind during the
day. Utter none but such as are good and
true and useful. Keep back the unkind and
uncharitable thought. Acting on this rule,
you will save yourself and others much
misery.
Persons sometimes find themselves in a

cooked instaneously, fires go out some-
times, and a thousand mishaps occur to
prevent our wishes being carried out to the
moment. Avoid, therefore, hasty COM
plants, and learn to be patient.
There should be no reading at meals
It IS the time for social conversation. 1t is
selfish tor a husband to sit reading his news
paper, leaving his wife to her own thoughts.
Even ln what seems triGes, it is impor-
tant to be on our guard. Do not worry
about shutting the door in cold weather,
get up aud close it quietly yourself. Never
ring the parIor bell in anger. 1" Greater
IS he that ruleth bis spirit, than he that
taketh a city.
When one Of your own family enters
the room, look up and speak, or, if need
be close your book and show an interest
IN him. This is probably how you would
wish to be received yourself.
1t is a good test of amiability to be able
to receive kindly unlooked-for callers at
what seems an announcement time-when,
for instance, you are on the point Of going
out, or are engaged in some pleasant en-
ployment, etc. At such times cudeavour

state OF iIl-humour, and fancy they. may
give way to it, because it is something
natural But these natural dispositions
are all evil. Our natures are corrupt and
tuIl OF evils. 1t is our business to change
them, not by indulgence, but by resistance.
Ill humor IS simply a portion of our evil
coming out, and it is to be resisted by
restraining ourselves in word and deed;
compelling ourselves to look and speak
pleasantly.
So-doing, we shall in a short time find it
pass away, and thus a great conquest will
have been effected.
