Der Of the league:
Topic-"Good and Bad Habits. Rom
viii, Is.
Paul gives us pictures of two men, one in
whom habits are governed by the flesh"
and one in whom habits are governed by the
Spirit" Habits are often the outgrowth
of gratified desires. We desire to do some
thing and crafty that desire. Each time it
becomes easier to acquiesce than to resist.
and eventually it becomes habit. When
these desires are governed by the "hesh."
bad habits are more often formed than
good, but when they are governed by the
Spirit" good habits are formed.
The success in life of many a man can be
traced to habits formed in youth-some
times unconsciously, but often through the
influence of an older person. The failure
of many man is also due to habits
formed in youth which might have been
-counteracted by some one whose habits
were governed by the Spirit.
Am 1 my brothers keeper" Yes, ac-
cording to Christs teachings. On your
habits depends your own character and des-
tiny, and possibly the destiny of your
brother.
