SELF CONTROL.
1t Is One OF the Projections of the
Gentleman.


Gentleman.
A gentleman is gentle, slow to sur
mise evil, slow to take offense and
slower still to give it. A gentleman
subdues his feelings and controls his
speech. It is sometimes said Of a man
that 'he can be a gentleman if he
wants to be-" but a man who can be
a gentleman when he wants never
wants to be anything else, says the
Pittsburg Press.
In the cultivation of courtesy self
respect must play a prominent part.
We must never pass for more than the
value we place upon ourselves. To re
spect others we must first respect our
selves. Whittier said, Il felt that l
was in the world to do something, and
l thought l must"
One of the PROJECTIONS of the gallant
man lies in the supremacy Of self con-
troll Herbert Spencer, speaking Of this
important attitude of man as u moral
being, said, Not to be impulsive, not
to be SpurTed hither and thither by
each desire that in turn comes upper
most, but to be self contained, self
balanced, governed by the joint de-
cision Of the feelings in council as
sembled, before which every action
shall have been fully debated and
calmly determined-tha it is which
education, moral education at least,
strives to produce"
