EVIL SPEAKING!

\
Many a man despises another, with
whom he never had dealings, or to whom
he scarcely ever spoke. Some person
has whispered sIander in his ear. He
believes the i'll report and thus .shuns
and despises bis heighbor. A SANDER
Stops not here. This man has intimate
friends to whom lie opens his heart, and
! who catch his feelings and also become
prejudiced against one, who perhaps
may be one Of The best men in the COM
muuity. "BehuId how great a fire d
little spark kindleth," says the Apostle.
A. man who brealhes a word against
another, is little aware Of the danger he
produces. He cannot recall that word
if lie would. L, has gone forth and is
repealed and. believed by scores. Men
are mol careful when they speak, and
The SANDER is added 10, until the chars
acler of one comparatively pure, is,
made black and offensive in The extreme.
Stop man! Do not speak at random:
Utter no falschood, no matter what may
be you feelings towards another. Evil
speaking is sin of which hundreds are
guilty, who are not sensible ofthe in--
jury they are. producing. They mag.
inc thar language dies, when ii falls from
their lips. Not SO T; il lives, and is ever
active for good or FOR evil. Be careful
then when you speak and how YOU
speak. Misrepresent nobody. It isa
good rule to obserrc-if you cannot
speak we'll Of another, not 10 speak i'll.
A little care will save a deal OF trouble
and prevent these animoslies and:ha-
tredslhat embitter The sweets oflife, and
are never healed this side of the grave.

we never disire your acquaintance. We
