I to grow angry, do not yield to
the temptation. It may for a min-
ute or two be difficult to control
j yourself, but try it. Force your-
self to do nothing, to say nothing,
and the rising temper will be
obliged to go down because it has
1 nothing to hold it up.
What is gained by yielding to
temper? For a moment there is a
feeling of relief, but soon comes a
sense of sorrow and shame with a
wish that the temper had been
controlled. Friends are separated
by a bad temper, trouble is caused
by it, and pain is given to others
as well as to self. The p.tin too
oi'te lasts for days, even years—
sometimes for life. An outburst
of temper is like the bursting of a
i steaniboiler: it is impossible to
tell beforehand what will be the
result. The evil done may never
be remedied. Starve your tem-
per. It is not worth keeping
alive. Let it die. -Ex.
