s.HEALTH KEELING"
The duty of health is one on which al
others in part depend. A mind can no
be much better than its body. We ART
given our bodies to look after as well a
our outward duties and to keep ourselves
in condition is necessary for every othel
duty.
COURAGE.
A requisite qualification for our success
as teachers is cOurage-courage to say
what we think is true and to do what we
think is right. We should never be
afraid of our opinions, and to this end
should not have opinions to be afraid of.
When sure we are right we are doubly
fortified in our position aud can never be
made to appear ridiculous.
We should make our opinions respect
ed and not cringe to those we believe
false.
People respect courageous man, even
when differing from him; and the man
who is right can always afford to make
others give in. If we are wrong, we
should change to the right that we may
take on courage, for to hold out when
wrong is only stubbornness. While it
is not advisable to obtrude our opinion or
defend them on needless occasions, it is
never necessary either for pollteness or
peace, to defend them or appear to yield
them. The man who causes you to sur
render to him has little respect for you.
In society we should aim to be the in
flucncing rather than the Influenced one.
The courageous man will be leader of his
companions and will seem the ADLER one
whether he is or not. Timidity follows
self assertion and vice is bold only to a
coward. Instead of fearing temptation
we should lead the tempters to our side
and be ourselves the person Of influence,
instead of the others. 1t is only the
weaker Of the two that is tempted; and
instead of being ashamed to resist, we
should be proud to be formidable.
1t is never necessary to go wrong in
order to be a good companion or popular |
friend. What We want at the present
time is mere men of independence, they
are respected by the good and bad, by
friends and by oppo ents, by those who
agree with them and BY those who do not.
We should try then Instead of consent
ing to wrong 70 attack the wrong and in.
stead Of yielding to others, to make them
follow us; for in 80 doing we give VIC
tory not only to ourselves but to the
right.
There is no occasion where lack of
is an advantage for the world
hates neanness and one of the worst
forms of meanness is the surrender of one
who is right to one who is wrong, which
IS adding wickedness to weakness.
