ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Strength of character consists OF
two things-power of will and power Of
self-restraint. 1t requires two things,
therefore, for it's existence-strong feel
ings, and strong command over them.
Now, it is here we make a great mis-
take We mistake strong feelings for
strong character
A man who bears all before him
before whose frown domestics tremble
and the children quake-because he has
his will obeyed. and his own way in
all things, we call strong man.
The~truth is he is a weak man; 1t Is
his passions that are strong He that
is mastered by them is weak.
You must measure the strength of a
man by the power of the feelings he
subdues. not by the power of those
which subdue him. And hence compo-
sure is often the highest result of
strength.
Did we never see a man receive a fia-
grant insult, only growing little pale.
and then reply quietly? This is man
spiritually strong.
Or did we never see man bearing a
hopeless, daily trial remain silent and
never tell the world what cankered his
home peace? That is strength.
He who, keenly sensitive, with many
powers of Indignation in him, can be
provoked and yet restrain himself, and
forgive--he is the strong man, the
spiritual hero.

barely spoke, she tired of the other
mans anecdotes, which had long ceased
to be amusing, and, going to the piano,
