Topic.-SeIf mastery.--I Cor. tx. Is; Cal
y, le-zs Temperance meeting.)
Self mastery Is necessary to success.
The man who would control human
enterprises or destinies must nrst
learn to control himself. He must be
moderate and temperate IN Oh things,
This was true OF the athlete IN The
Erecian games. Using the contestants
in these games as an illustration, Paul
says. Every man that strivegh Ter the
mastery II temperate in al things"
Necessity was laid upon a man under
these conditions of life 10 be temper
ate Tho least Indulgence ia that
which was harmful would weaken tine
cne who stroye for the crown. II
would deprive him Of his powers % en-
durance. and who could expect 10 win
without strength 10 endure7 Temper
ance Is just as necessary In the might
Ter battles OF life. The glutton ana the
dIunkard have little chance Ia the
race OF life. The evils that accom-
pany and flow from excessive iudul-
gence in food or In drink unfit man
for the duties and responsibilities Of
life. Like the weakling in the race, be
IS soon left behind, and when the
crown Is awarded it does not rest upon
his brow. To master life we must
first master ourselves. We must be
temperate in all things.
- But, though self mastery Is so ira-
portant and necessary In the race OF
life. II Is not so easily attained. Solo
mon declares that the man who con.
trolls himself Is greater than the one
who takes a city. II must be easier,
therefore. 10 capture a fortified city
than to be complete master of ones
self. And II Is. Many great generals
who have been most successful Ia win
ming battles have lost In the greatest
conflict of life--the conflict with self
One OF the worlds greatest cnnquerors
died a victim to his lack OF self mas
terry. II we expect to master and 10
control ourselves, let us not imagine
that we are to engage in an insignia
cant contest. Battles are lost by IN
derrating the strength and resources OF
the enemy. Let us not lose the battle
lof life In this way. The human pas
sions are strong and powerful and can
only be overcome by trust In God, by
prayer, by constant vigilance and the
exercise Of all the power that God has
given to us.
!. No matter what the cost. we should
Ny the grace of God be masters OF our
selves. In the end II win pay. Gladly

denial and sacrifice. and for whatf A

MODERN FL " MING g.
BEFORE HEALTH

The chief evil nowadays lies in
the well-nigh universal fawning
and covering before wealth, in the
blind scramble for fortune and IA
vor. We are taught to act part,
when we should embody a princi-
pie We stoop over and walk on
all fours when we should stand
erect remembering the stars above
US. Many of the hangers-on of the
millionaire are mere fawners and
fiatterers seeking to push their way Y
into the social swim. Other classes
who bend at his feet are working
people who are dependent on him
for food and shelter.
Thomas Hughes said long ago
that we may not be able to hinder
people in general from being help
less and vulgar-from letting them
selves fall into slavery to things
about them, if they are rich, or
from aping the habits and vices of
the rich, if they are poor. But, as
he says, we may live simple,
manly lives ourselves, speaking
our own thoughts, paying our own
way and doing our own work what
ever that may be. We shall re-
main gentlemen as long rs we fol-
low these rules even if we have to
sweep crossing for a livelihood.
The mortal bane in all this mon
ey worship, this toadyism and time
serving is the effect it has on the
soul Of the toady and time-server.
1t calls his attention away from the
real and the permanent in life to
the false and the fleeting. It robs
him Of the idea that character is
the chief glory of man. When to
character we add culture we come
into an inheritance more durable
than time and richer than all the
kingdoms of this world.-Edwin
Markham, in Success.
