Try, dear child, to be constantly on the watch against it. "'Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation,' Jesus said.
The moment that you feel the rising of anger in your breast lift up your heart to him for strength to resist." "I do intend to always, papa," she sighed, tightening her clasp of his neck and laying her cheek to his, "but oh it is so, so easy to forget!" "I know it, dear child, but I can only encourage you to continue the fight with your evil nature, looking ever unto Jesus for help.
Press forward in the heavenly way, and if you fall, get up again and go on with redoubled energy and determination; and you will win the victory at last; for 'in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.'

"So you've come back," remarked Sydney.
