Beware of Making Promises.

The habit of promising tends to
weaken the will. 1t gives false and
transient kind of strength which is,
essentially, weakness. The men fhat
promise easily are certain to be easy
breakers of promises. But how about
people who sign pledge or, under cir
cumstances of dire extremity, promise
to reform in some other way? There
are many instances where by such
means characters have been reformed
for life. True, indeed, but the very ex-
tremity of the situation operates as a
stimulus here. The promise lifts them
out of themselves and enables them
to reach another plane. To stay there
requires, of course, persistent effort OF
will extending over II long period. One
victory of this kind unquestionabiy
leads to other victories. But the proc
ess is slow and very different from the
promise milking which through repeat
ed failure becomes an indulgence, like
d vice.

Influence on Character.

In the molding of character nothing
matters so much as influence. 1t is
the heart of all education, the inner
secret of home and of school. More
than any wit or genius is the value

thoughtfulness." Surround life with
its rays and dormant goodness will not
