Ousting the Self Family

HELEN L. CONNELLY

"Another family is trying to move in with us," I told my husband one day, "and this house isn't big enough for both them and us!"

He looked quizzically at me for a moment.

"It's the self family," I explained, and we both broke into laughter. We had awakened to a perfect spring morning, but soon the air seemed filled with small bickerings, unlike the usual peaceful, harmonious atmosphere in the household. We were grateful we had discovered the selfs when we did, for soon, by acknowledging that God alone was in control of our thoughts and actions, they had entirely disappeared again.
