Just now you are Tearing control or

God controls the world and II we
would control ourselves, we must hitch

Habit Il no. resisted soon becomes a
necessity. Rev. Wells told story at
this point TO illustrate the strength Of
combined goodness. There we're seven
sons-always Quarreling. Their father
brought them a bundle Of sticks and
told them 10 break them all together.
None OF the sons was able to dc it.
The father then took each stick out
and these could easily be broken by
themselves Ii this way he showed
them how combined love aud worthless
made up an unbreakable whole. You
are building up habits stick by stick

years. Just now you can take those
habits apart and break the unworthy
ones.
