=Grow the fruits of the spirit:= Love, Joy, Peace, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance, against such there is no law.  Do not sit down and wish for them, nor wait for someone to bring them to you, even God will not bring them to you.  Grow them.  Cultivate them.  Produce them.  No power on this earth can defeat you, make you fail, or over-throw you if you fill your Spirit with them.  As you work, use them.  Take them with you to the store, the factory, the shop, the mill, to your bench.  Take them with you to the office, the counting-room, the court-room, and to your throne-room.  Take them with you to the battle field, to the halls of justice, to the senate chamber, to the presidential chair.  Take them with you thru the streets, along the highways, and over the unbeaten paths of your life.  Take them with you down the rivers, and out into the storm driven sea.  Chain them to the wheel of your ship, sail on thru the starless night alone.  Trust them, for they are the initiative of the Supreme in you.

=Train your voice:= Take your snarling, growling, snapping, whining voice away into the jungle and leave it to the wild beasts.  Take your sobbing, sniveling, trembling, dolorous, sanctimonious voice down into some dismal swamp and bury it.  Train your voice as you would tune a harp.  Your voice is an index of character.  Keep it on the level.  Let it “speak as one having authority.”  Charm it with modulation.  Make it ripple with music.  Allow no thrust of anger to ruffle it.  Intensify it with determination.  Strengthen it with courage.  Give it dominion and power.  When other voices are hot and spuming around you, keep your voice cool.  Never allow your voice to become dull, dubious, uncertain, shrinking, or hollow.  Voice tones that are round, rhythmic, full measured.  Have a serene and reposeful voice.  Look at what you speak.  Reflect your soul in your voice.  Let the manner of your voice be calm, smooth, collected, but energized with positive forces.  Have a cheerful voice, a voice that makes one think of sunshine and smiles.

=How to love relatives:= To love your relatives be away from home all you can.  To have them love you keep about three hundred miles between you and them.  Thousands of homes and lives are wrecked by two families of the same family trying to live under the same roof.  Noah would have foundered with the Ark ten days after the flood started if he had taken more than two out of any one family with him.  Cain would never have killed Abel if Adam hadn’t made the fool blunder of trying to keep his two sons everlastingly with him.  Of course there was some excuse in the fact that in those days New York and Paris were not brilliantly attractive cities.  If there is any one thing outside a church row, that tickles the devil into a frenzy of laughter it is when a young married couple go home to live with the family.  There is about as much real
