When a man fails in life he usually says, I am as God made me. When he succeeds, he proudly proclaims himself a self_rr'iade man. Man is never truly great merely for what he is, butiever for what he may be- come. Until man be truly lled with tl1e knowledge of the maj- .-esty of his possibility, until there comes to him the glow of realization of his privilege to live the life committed to him, as an individual life, for which he is individiually responsible,` he is merely groping through the years.

The exercises may. be very simple- dropping for a time an intensely interesting book at the most thr_i'lling ,page of the story; jumping .-`out of bed at the first moment of waking; talking to some disagreeable person and trying to make the conversation pleasant. These daily exercises in moral discipline will have a wondrous tonic effect on man s whole moral nature. The indiv- idual can attain self-control in great things only through self- control in little things. He must study himself to discover what is the weak point in his armour, what is the element within him that ever keeps him from his fullest success. Is it selsh- ness, vanity, cowardice, morbid- ness, temper, laziness, worry, 'mind-wandering, lack o.f pur- pose`? Whatever form hum-an weakness takes he must discov; er. He must then live each day a.s if his whole. existence were telescoped down to the single day before him.

' If a rich mantgive 'a donation to some charity they say He is doing it to get his name talked about, to help his business. If he give it anonymously, they say, Oh, it s some millionaire who is clever enough to know that refraining from giving his name will pique curiosity; he will see that the public is infor- med later. If he does not give -to charity, they say: Oh, he s stingy with_ his. money, of course, like the rest of the mil- lionaires.

I , fI-_3_.I &\JL Anau \&\AIvI4I-A\(\4I People are apt to lose their I self-control in the form of Wm`. j ry. Worry is the most popular . form of suicide- It impairs ap- petite, ` disturbs sleep, makes respiration irregular, spoils di- gestjon ,ir-ritates disposition, warps character, weakens the mind, stimulates `disease, and saps bodily health. It is the`| "real cause ofvdeath in thous-, ands of. instances where some, other disease is named in the death certificate. `Worry is men- tal poison; work is mental food. When- a child's absorption in his studies keeps him from sleep- ing, or .whenr he tosses and turns from side to side, mutter- ing the multiplication table , or` `spelling words aloud when sleep does come, that child is worry-I ing. It is one of Nature s' ways! of warning parents. The burden ' of that/child s daily tasks should be lightened" and the hours of its slavery to education cut short.

Then there is but one thing to do--we must stop that worry; we must kill it. ` ' To cure worry, the individual must be his own physician; he must. give the case heroic treat- ment. Ancl here our power of self-control is severely tested. He must realize wi_th every fibre of his being, the utter useless- ness ofeworry. He must fully understand that if it were pos- sible for him to spend a whole [series of eternities in worry, it `would not change `the fact one `of the day s duties. When, all jot or tittle. It is a time for ac- tion, not worry, because worry paralyzes thought and action, LUU. ' lfa man do, day by day, ever the best he can by the light he has, he has no need to fear, no -need to regret, no need to worry. lNeithe1! mortal nor angel can do more than hisvbest. To cure one s self of worry is not an easy task; it is not to be removed in two or three applications of the quack medicine of any cheap philosophy. but it requires only clear, simple common-sense ap- plied to the business of life. Manhas no right to waste his own energies, to weaken his own powers and influence, for he has inalienable duties to himself, to his family, to society, and to the` world. . _ - ` If l\l\~n\`v|r\1 Anwo l.-Ht!

Each day there should be fresh resolutions, new strength, and renewed enthus- iasm. Just for Today," might be the daily motto of thousands of societies through the coun- try, composed of members bound together to make the world bet- ter through constant simple acts of kindness, constant deeds of sweetness and love. "And Hap- piness would come to them, in `its highest and best form, not because they would seek to ah- 'sorb it, but_because they seek to radiate it.
