GREAT SELF CONTROL. esson from His Life in Shop Talk by Rev. Dr. Slocum. Under the auspices of the Y. M. C.' Rev. Dr. Joel B. Slocum addressed a large gatherinz of men at the Cres- cent Arms company Thursday noon. He based his talk on control, and in rart he said: = In baseball language there is an in- teresting word—the word “control.” It is used especlally in reference to that remarkable ability by which the pitch- er compels the ball to do his bidding. Watch a good game of baseball from a seat in the grandstand just back of the home plate. Anybody could throw a ball somewhere and somehow In the Vvicinity of that home base. It is not @ Qquestion of somewhere and some- how; it is a question of a particular area’ whose vertical and _horizontal field lies within narrow. confines. It not simply a problem of getting the ball over the plate, but getting it over safely; getting it over swiftiy or very slowly, as the particular moment ma decide; getting it over in a straight line or in a curve; get it past the most skilful batter whose keen eye and practical judgment dispute the way. The Price of Control. This_is the pitcher's job, one who knows anything ut i knows that it is a big one. Before the pitcher reaches the professional he must secure the proper develop- ment, not simply of his arm, but of his arm and his brain; a very swift understa the two. Then, too, his arm with the cally every o All this is the price comes about that a thing which we nd any- wding betwe n back up practi- his boc about is_self con control there certainly e 1o control of the known men who started out with a good deal of promise as pitchers and had to gi it up ber they could not control themselv And after ail that's what I want to talk about todsy. The baseball se son will have to wait a little till t cold snap gets by. But there is a place for s day; winter, sprin right through the y to control, more « direction, speed and curves tle American institution whicl baseball is something desirable, som: fr nd dollars other 1 51 is a priceless ual who has it. thing that is worth all the three thousand to ten t a year, then surely th which we call self cont possession of the indivi Control of the Human Machine. Our human machines often get pret- ty near the bursting point. Too much steam? Possibly. t more likely is a case of poor control. I can imagine a man temper. He would be a v under all circumstances. So would a dead man be harmless. It is not that We need to get rid of our tempers, but we do need to control them. 1t is not a sin to get mad, but it is a #in when our madness runs away with us and we get into all sorts of tro ble as a consequence. There is a log- ical process in the development of that strange power within us by which we lose our self control. The trouble be- gins with our feelings. Somethi arouses them-and they push up the safety valve and, as a consequ out fly some sizzling hot words. safe man nce, Then before the words are cold, other words, still hotter, follow; and inflamed feel- ings and scorching words lssue in de- structive actions—actions that have things all their own way, because will and judgment have their calm | throne and are hopel mixed up in the unrestrained turmoil. There was a very wise man whose prayer was: “Set thou a guard upon my lips, lest I sin against thee.” That is the place for the beginning of our control. If we succeed there, at the feelings, we shall be victorious at every point along the journey. Lincoln an Example. In closing, Dr. Slocum referred to Lincoln as one of the finest examples of self control in all history and asked the men to join with him in a deter- mination to retain control of self and to keep the temper under restraint so that only good actions may be the r sult of our right thinking and whole- some speaking. Selections on the Victrola were heard with great interest. GOLDEN JUBILEE OF KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.. Members Coming Here for Celebration by Norwich Lodges.
