Nep Years, 1917 &c

See how for instance, out of unpromiSlng
material known as raw-recruits, steady
discipline will bring out unsuspected
qualities of courage and endurance. In the
great test of battle such men find them
selves measuring up to standards they did
for remarkable qualities of bravery and
heroism. Equally important then that the
moral side OF mans nature should be
called upon to select his course of action,
he may choose according to a proper
system which regulates his life.
The most self-reliant, self-governing
man is always under discipline; and the
more perfect the discipline the higher will
be his moral condition. He has to drill
his desires, and ''keep them in subjection'
to the higher powers of nature. They
must obey the word of command of the
internal monitor, the conscience, otherwise
they will be mere slaves Of their incl-
nations. s'In the supremacy of self-con-
troll, ," says Herbert Spencer, Consists of
one of the perfections of the ideal man.
Not to be impulsive not to be spurred
hither and thither by each desire that in
turn comes uppermost-but to be self
restrained, self balanced, governed by the
feelings in council assembled, before
whom every action shall have been fully
debated and calmly determined it is
which education, moral education at least
strives to produce.
Thus the strongest and most explosive
natures can be brought into subsection.
Although the moral character depends in
a great degree on temperament and on
physical health, as we'll as on domestic and
early training and the example of COM
panons, it is also in the power of each in
dividual to regulate, to restrain, and to
discipline it by watchful and persevering
self-control. A great deal depends on our
power of comparison. We may accustom
ourselves TO exaggerate small evils and TO
underestimate great blessings.
Cuisines success depends in no small
degree upon that regulation of temper and
careful self-discipline which gives wise
man not only command over himself but
over Others" A strong temper is not nee
essarily a bad temper. But the stronger
the temper the greater the need of self-dis-
cipline and self-control. 1t is not mems

by his watch pocket, meanwhile cursing
his ''beloved sea- But let me return to
the entertainment. After several solos
had been sung, and other forms of amuse-
ments had been carried out, the crew were
ordered forward, where each man was
given good cigar, and an extra ration of
grog. All this be it understood, at the
Captains expense. In the salon the
passenger had dance, and refreshments
after the crew had retired to the forecastle
to sleep or else had gone on watch.
1t is the usual thing for the steamship
companies to make arrangements for the
amusement of the passengers who go to
sea on their vessels when the weather per-
mits. There are games of different kinds
played on deck; but during the winter
months, and especially during the Xmas
holidays, there are moving pictures, dane
ing, singing, and many indoor games of
fered for the amusement of the passengers.
But for Jack there is no amusement, unless
the Captain chooses to furnish it for him.
But as rule, on board the big liners, the
passengers and Captain, together with his
assistants manage in some way to observe
the day so that 1t will be day of feasting
if nothing more for the hard working ships
crew that voyage over the deeps on every
day of the year.
There are ships sailing the seas today,
in which the men are not given any better
food on holidays than they receive on any
other day, and on those ''other days. as
term them, the bill-of-fare usually consists
of cracker-hash hard bread, or sea biscuits.
and concoction that is honored with the
name of coffee. Such ships, however,
are becoming scarce, as the different ma
tions are establishing Boards or Com
missions to look after the welfare of the
seamen who go to sea under the various
flags.
Aboard a naval vessel, Jack usually en-
joys his Xmas almost as much as he would
if he were home. For all drills are
suspended for the day, and there is always
an abundance of good things to eat, and
nearly always an entertainment of some
kind. The ships of the United States
Navy are equipped with small libraries,
and each vessel has one or more phona
graphs, and a motion picture machine.
Besides these things, there are always a
number of musical instruments owned by
members of the ships crew and such
ships as rated carry marine band. With

- but he is wise man who will not"
The tools, then, are scarce, for you seldom
meet a person who cannot get angry upon
occasions, and you will meet many who
can get angry without any occasion.
The most disagreeable people are those
who cannot control themselves. No man
will buy a horse who cannot control him
self. 1t is true that man seems to be the
controlling agent with all animals and yet
man is very helpless before the strength of
a horse, and before purchasing the animal,
he asks if he is gentle.
Self-control might we'll be considered
one of the highest virtues in man, for with
out it he cannot be depended upon. The
main force of disappointment and failure
in many lives is due to the lack of self
control. No man is able to control others
until ne can control himself The man who
is easily frustrated or in a passion can
not be taken seriously. He unmans him.
self and loses his influence in the activities
of life
Self-control is only courage under an
other form. 1t may almost be regarded
as the primary essence of character. 1t is
in this quality that Shakespeare defines
man as being '1ooked before and after. ~
Let man give the reins to his impulses,
passions, and from that moment he yields
up his moral freedom. He is carried
along the current of life, and becomes the
slave of his strongest desire for the time
being.
To be morally free-to be more than an
animal-man must be able to resist in
stinctive impulses, and this can only be
done by the exercises of self-control. 1t
is this power which constitutes the real
distinction between the physical and moral
life, and that forms the primary basis of
individual character.
In the Bible, praise is given, not to the
strong who "taketh city, but to the
stronger man who "ruleth his own spirit.
This stronger man is he who, by discipline,
exercises a constant control over his
thoughts, his speech, and his acts. Nine
tenths of the vicious desires that degrade
society and which, when INDUCED, swell
into crimes that disgrace it, would shrink
into into insign6cance before the advance
of self discipline and sef-control. By the
watchful exercise of these virtues, purity
of heart and mind become habtual, and
the character is built up in chastity, virtue
and temperance.
