Beware Of Making Promises,

The habit Of promising tends to
weaken the will. 1t gives n false and
transient kind of strength which Is,
essentially. weakness. The men that
promise easily are certain to be- easy
breakers Of promises. But how about
people who sign n pledge or. under CIT.
cumstanccs of dire extremity. promise
to reform in some other way? There
are many Instances where by such
means characters have been reformed
for life. Trre, indeed. hut the very e1-
trGmlty of the situation operates as n
stimulus here The promise lifts them
out Of themselves and enables them
tn reach another plane. To stay there
requires. OF course, persistent effort Of
will extending over n long period. Ono
victory Of this kind unQucstionnbly
leads 10 other victories. But the proc.
ess ls slow and very different from the
promisc-making which through rcpeat.
cd failure becomes an indulgence, like
