Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 37, Number 22, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 March 1905 — Serenity of Temper. [ARTICLE]

Serenity of Temper.

One sign of mental health is serenity of temper and a self control that enables us to bear with equanimity and unruffled temper the petty trials and Jars of life, especially those arising from contact with scolding, Irascible, irritating folk. It is well to remember at such times that these unfortunates are their own worst enemies, and a cultivation of the art of not bearing will help us very much. It is a very useful art all through life and well worth some trouble to acquire.
