Discipline

WILLIAM HALE COOMBER

The thought of discipline is often associated with irksome, and even unwilling obedience to rules and regulations devised by those in positions of authority to ensure the successful conduct of a public service, a bank, a business, and so on. Even so, it is generally recognized that such obedience is necessary. It may be that one cannot agree with some of the rules laid down. Nevertheless, here is an opportunity for the practice of selflessness, wisdom, trust in God, and the putting aside of self in order to co-operate with the requirements of an organization.

A dictionary defines "discipline" as "the treatment suited to a disciple or learner; education; training; drill."
