It has been said, "The person who grows up without discipline is a slave the rest of his life." By observation we are led to believe this is true.

Any fair, impartial observer of the life of our day must admit that a lack of discipline of every sort parades itself before us daily. In such a world, personal discipline is not easily achieved. Yet it is clearly written into the marching orders of the Christian, and should be everybody's aim. For, contrary to certain opinions, true manhood and true womanhood are not reached along the path of unbridled indulgence. They are the rewards of unwavering loyalty to high ideals, unceasing resistance to temptation, and ever vigilant self-discipline.
