MMiss Lavatryce A. Martin
To rule the feelings, the head
and heart should work together.
Ali of our emotions are some
times said sometimes to come
from the heart, and the other
is set into action by the head.
There are time when a man feels
like boiling over" as it is
called, but policy and good judge
ment warn him to have self con-
troll.
1t is our sentiment and passion
that needs a guiding hand, our
opinions can take care of them
selves. When our feelings and our
mental tranquility go together
there is no trouble, for then duty
and inclination go together, but
when our feelings are not regu-
lated and controlled, they be-
come unstable and shifting, like
winds that blow where they list
and whether no man can tell.
Our lack of self control may
drive us to the most violent acts.
We become the sport of chance,
desire and vagrant impulses.
Control is essential because
from our ill-regulated acts much
injustice and harm may be done.
not only to ourselves bzut to
others. A man who stands whims
and caprice is a superior one
in strength to a man who per-
mits his caprice to direct him.
What we call character has emo
tons, its affections and intense
sympathies, but mastered and
controlled into whole of outward
justice and fairness. The true
freeman fights himself free from

There was King of the Kings

and young, rich and poor alike.
Sine the two dominions were far

elder brother yearned for the
sight of his younger brother, and
since it was unadvisable for him
Ito travel such a distance, he wrote
la letter expressing his warm love
and great desire to see the young
Shah. In those days costly gifts
were sent to expected guests as
additional impetus to an invita-

King Shahryer sent handsome
gifts, such as horses with saddles
of gem-encrusted gold; slaves,
handmaidens, by his minister. In
making ready to leave, the young
Shah, thinking he had forgotten
at the palace, returned,
and in his apartments found the
queen, his wife asleep with her
consort Black with rage, he slew
them both. The story continued,
that on his arrival at King Shahr-
yer, he was i'll, bearing his grief
and mental anguish alone. His
brother did everything to please
him to no avail, but after he re-
turned from ahunting trip he
found that the Shah's illness had
