Many of us have some little, contemptible weakness which -offsets our strong qualities and ruins their effectiveness. What n pity to see a giant in tied down by some little, contemptible weakness which what might have been a mag- career If parent or teach- would only point out to a child a weakness which perhaps will be fa- if not remedied and teach it how to guard against it, how to strengthen the detective quality by mental exercise, what u tremendous help it would give to the child, per- haps preserving it from failure It is pitiable to see u young man bowing to what he culls which he thinks been fixed by the con- tour of his bruin or in bis hereditary tendencies. Why should we drag our weaknesses through life when a little common sense, a little right thinking in fixing new habits of thought, will soon remedy them If you arc conscious of a mental weakness, a deficient faculty, using a little concentration, thinking in the opposite direction and dwelling upon the perfect faculties you de- sire would soon put you in a nor- condition.
