W e Vg ; You can never become a great dealer nor a person of in- fluence in the cause of justice until you have Qeveloped‘ great -gelf-control: - | ; Before you.can ] 3 any capacity you must master the commo! -anger, intolerance and cynicism. ; : : i When you permit’ another person to make you angry you .are allowing that person to dominate you and drag you down o his level. o et 1", To develop self-control you must make liberal a y ‘tematic use of the:Golden:Rule philosophy; you must acquire }fbe habit of forgiving those who annoy and arouse you to:gnger. ! sIntolerance and selfishness make very poor bed—fellqws, for igelf-control.

He remains.calm and deliberate under all conditions. . Such a person can succeed in all legitimate undertakings! _To master conditions you must first master self! A person who « exercises great self-control never slanders his neighbor. His tendency is to build up and not to tear down. Are you a person of self-control? If not why do you- not develop this great virtue? can ‘be of greét service to y@ur fellowmen in : n:human. tendency of —_— e g AS OTHERS SEE US. s A stranger judges this towh mainly by it8 appearance.
