and warmth and companionship within Why should the fire die down the tho cold come ome in and the tho companions leave leac Then thoughtful David Dald draws off to himself and asks why wily an Infinite Ruler did not so set tho the law that a deadened sensation a condition of halt half narcotic peace pea e might be bee kept Indefinitely hid tJ and be he blessed Instead of cursed Wo Ve get et

Indirect Indirect indirect direct proportion to our QUI own control I I We re arc are thus shown sh wn the tho right pathway and the tho man hunting real comfort fol follows follows follows I lows It sure suro to enjoy the rewards There seems to be some opposing spirit at work like a demon of or destruction destruction destruction tion planning to sap the power Ower of tho the strong man manto to reduce the mountain peak to tho the level of or tho range Let a aman aman aman man apply himself work days da s and nights push well to tho the front and be bc become como come successful and famous then too often otten appear the various agents of this demon lemon of destruction Excess stimulation stimulation tion excess s narcotics tobacco mor morphine phine and other forms forma a harem of ot

friendship friendship friendship ship and physical and mental J peace But they are arc dangerous friends and must l be e chained and made mado to bo be sub subservient subservient servient else they govern Overn and ruin So ninny many man of our powerful pressing and valiant men and women have haye been sung sun to sleep by b them hurt beyond measure and reduced from tho the high al to the

times of follow humiliation loss 1058 of poW poWer er weakness and back buck to the tho soil f oll There Thero Is a widespread belief beller that these elements have a well Weil defined purpose In Inthe Inthe Inthe the human economy if there be bo a fixed law of ot moderation and absolute limit But man ordinarily has no fixed rule of procedure and so many times a day daya dnn a n whisper suggests a drink and anda a cigar elal Perhaps congenial friends re recount recount recount count happy days of old ld and mellow up with a drink every evely now and then with no control by b the governor Hurt Burt follows because the little devils found round the governor asleep and stung stun not tho the governor you cant sting him but buthis buthis buthis his physical machine the human body bod Tho The purpose of tho the Governors club Is to equip its members to dominate and rule Instead of or being ruled Only by ruling can man inan gradually grow Into the god his Creator and friends planned for Cor him Any man can do better belter work retain his won position enjoy health assure prosperity generally live to a good goad old ago age and build the character ho Ito aspires to by becoming the absolute ruler and subjecting the opposing forces to his Itis government In order to establish and maintain maln n ment by b the tho members of or this club It Itis Itis is 15 necessary to define a 11 maximum ma mum to be fixed entirely by the member himself with a u penalty for taking t the alternative alternative tive and yet et leave the member free to follow his bent until experience safely I lights the pathway It will be observed that In drafting the tho agreement care caro has been exercised ed to avoid nold a fixed pledge as to tho limit of or use having In mind the spots of human weakness which appear from time to time The agree agreement agreement ment does docs fix a rule of practice with an un alternative It is thus drawn drown to avoid possibility of or that searing as as aA from the fires fired of hell bell which is the penalty for breaking a covenant with ones onos higher self seU It is important that some humilia humiliation humiliation tion follows the act of weakness shown by b neglecting the tho rule and descending descend In Into to the alternative The earnest governor will not per por permit permit mit nit this to occur often otten and hence the contributions to charity charlt are not likely to be bo large Nevertheless t so 80 o long as asmon men mon are human it is to live lIyo constantly quite up to ones ideal Liberty restricted by well balanced Intelligence and In control of ones onos own governor offers tho the best solution The rha man who becomes a member of or orthe the Governors club takes a position as Governor first of self and naturally naturally ally nIl of environment and things He must abide by b the agreement with his fellows felo and himself and cannot tute ute the Ue higher self by b any nn deviation I from Crom rom his agreement for he comes to knoW now that his own o n lord ruler ac nc and executioner resides within a friend who punishes and who vho rewards whom he ho cannot avoid mold or deceive If he ho cares Cores for tor comfort I peace health and happiness he will keep faith with his higher self It Its pays ays s to be bo a consistent member of ot the ho Governors club A report of ot tho the
