To be self-controlled is 20 have com
mand over all thoughts. 10 be poised
under all seeming disturbance
It's attributes Of permanence ar. only
identified in the development Of our own
selves. We are only crude beings until
we master our selhshness. Through lack
OF faith We stir up all manner OF evil
propensities: hence we lose control. and
the few good attributes we have cannot
manifest
Absence OF self-control often brings
poverty. not only 10 materially but SO
often TO the soul How many good men
and women have become prey 10 TIE
clutches Of poverty Hundreds OF illus
trations are heard every day: examine
yourselves and you VIII see the want or
lack Of control. Temptation loses IFS
power when we know we can control
and rob II OF its power
The Creator has created all things 10
Dc under our control II must be our
constant endeavor TO overcome all OBJ
stacles and. with patience run the race
that is set before US. IN controlling our
own inner being We shall gain the vic
tory. but II must be through ourselves
that we can demonstrate.
Self-control is one Of the greatest mas
terpieces Of to-day.
Let us try each day to cultivate the
spirit OF restfulness which viii enable

able 10 do. and 10 dare. through. self
