He who willn learn from exper-

Many man complains of depress-
ing ailments, when in truth his on
ly ailment is shiftlessness.
The man that masters self control
is the man that will master and d.
rect his life to fullest advantage and
fruitfulness. It is seldom that crises
in life are overcome when self con-
troll is lacking. Most all men of
achievement are men who have brot
self-control to bear upon the prob
lens of life to a successful solution.
The spirit to not tolerate the tribu-
latlons one meets in life's game is
the spirit that goes hand in hand
with failure. To look about us and
find proof of this fact it is only nee
essary to search the records contain
ing the histories of the inmates of
correctional and penal institutions,
most Of whom will frankly admit
that had they brot the factors of self
control and self-denial to bear upon
their lives, and circumstances that
resulted in violating legal or moral
law they would have had better
past" to turn to the condemning
eyes of the world. 1t is easy to
preach upon this subject, but not so
easy to practice this attitude toward
untoward circumstances that arise
to greet one with renewed challeng-
es to overcome contending situations
with self control. But as nothing
is gained by not striving for it, so
will self-control never be mastered
without trying again and again to
overcome the disposition to not toll
crate and make the best of any sit
uation however glowering or una
voidable. 1t takes determination
and an Il will" spirit to accomplish
gain in elf-control, but it is worth
while to try and in the trying to find
oneself growing stronger in the ad-
vantage of self-mastery.
The most tender hearted and hu-
name people that cannot bear to see
anything put to death without
qualms of conscience, will show the
most hardened heart at the killing
of time.

Some folks are so set on having

1t is a splendid thing to have
credit of some kind, upon which to
draw, when the hour of need arrives.
This can also be said of the moral
character and worth of our daily In
tercourse with our associates. 1t is
humiliating when such aid is sudden
ly needed to find we have no bal
ance to our credit; our past lives of
misconduct having wiped out the
margin that would have saved our
standing. How many overlook this
most important asset while hurrying
thru the quickly changing scenes of
life, how many neglect to lay by a
bit of friendly actions towards others
to later be drawn out of the Bank
of Life with interest? It is folly to
expect dividends on credit we do
not possess credit to the gain
side of the ledger that are neglected
by omission of helpful, charitable
and brotherly acts and speeches.
