Many people consider that "bad temper
is entirely voluntary on the part Of the
person who displaysit AS a matter Of
fact, it is often to a very great extent in
voluntary, and no one is more angry at it
than the bud tempered person himself OF
course every one, whether he is born with
bad temper or has acquired one from
habit, or has been visited with one as the
result of disease or injury, should at least
try TO control 1t But bis friends should
also bear in mind that temper may be, and
often Is, an afiiction to be sympathized
with, not an offense to be punished. New
