The Secret of Calmness
James 1:19-21
Why, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:…


It is said of the Rev. Mr. Clarke, of Chesham Bets, that when one observed to him "there was a good deal in a person's natural disposition," he made this answer: "Natural disposition! Why, I am naturally as irritable as any; but when I find anger, or passion, or any other evil temper arise in my mind, immediately I go to my Redeemer, and, confessing my sins, I give myself up to be managed by Him. This is the way that I have taken to get the mastery of my passions."

(K. Arvine.)
