Sins OF the Tongue.

The Episcopal Register says " We all ad-
init the positive sin and culpability of speak
ing evil of others falsely and regard the
person who is guilty of it as deserving of the
most severe condemnation. Certainly the in
jury that is thus inflicted is very great and
often causes lifelong affliction and suffering.
Yet we are accustomed to tolerate those
who do not hesitate at any time to give cur
rency to the evil reports which they hear
without investigating their foundation
There is probably more harm done by such
indirect censure than by the purest inven
tions. Certainly if there were no strict ac
countability for our words, we cannot be in
different to the happiness and well-being Of
others. As Christian men we are bound tc
consider how the rumors we repeat will af
feet the character and interest of those con
cerning whom we speak. We cannot acqui
ourselves of injustice by saying that 'w'
thought it was true or believed it. This
furnishes no sufficient excuse for the propa
gator of that which is not true in fact. Blu
more than this, it is not our duty to la,
open or reveal everywhere what may prov
prejudicial to another. The latter may pos
sibly have done an act entirely out of har
mony with his usual course of conduct, o
may have so repented, that the matte
should no more be brought forward to hi
discredit, than are the sins which we hav
committed, charged against us by him VIII
forgiveth our iniquities."

Teaching Hints.

Peace with God is something the world
cannot give nor take away. Paul tells us of
the only true ground of peace. Many may
cry Peace, peace, when there is no peace
but here in the lesson which we have from
Pauls letter to the Romans, he tells us that,
" being justified by faith, we have peace
with God through our Lord Jesus Christ"
Such peace, and such only, can be sure aud
lasting. In the three first verses of the fifth
chapter Of the epistle to the Romans Paul
not only tells us that we may have peace for
the past, but also grace for the present, and,
still better, glory for the future. There
could be no peace until sin had been atoned
for, and this was done on Calvary when
Christ took the sinners place and bore the
punishment due to us. The message to the
shepherds of the birth of the Saviour came
to them with message of peace, and when
ready to return to the Father, Jesus leaves
his disciples with his legacy of peace with
them. Peace is much spoken of in Scrip
ture. We are told who may not expect it,
and then we are told again where it alone
can be found. In the third chapter of this
epistle Paul describes the natural man.
Both Jew and Gentle had been pronounced
as "under sin and all gone out of the
way" lie says of them, "The way of peace
have they not known" We see also in this
same chapter that peace was not to be OBJ
tanned through the law, which had been
broken. We read that the law being just
and holy only condemned the sinner and
therefore justification or peace with God
could not be attained by the works of the
law, and " therefore it is of faith that it
might be by grace" Romans iv; 10. With
this faith in our Lord Jesus Christ as our
Saviour, and one who has met the claims Of
the law for us, we have the peace that is
| here spoken ola peace that can even glory
| in tribulation. 1t is what Christ is to Us
that brings us peace. If Christ is our Mas
ter, and il we know his service, we may have
his peace; but if we know nothing of hi,
service we cannot expect his peace. So
also, If one of his servants turns aside from
his service and denies his Master as Peter
did, so will he lose his peace as Peter did
until the sin is confessed and forgiven. W.
may be disciples OF Christ, but our peace i
very much in proportion to our obedience
We cannot enjoy the peace promised if w
are disobedient to his will. Sin cannot b.
entered into and peace retained. The two
cannot dwell together. No man eau serv'
two masters; neither can sin and peace
which are 80 opposed TO each other, dwell
within the same heart "The wicked ar
like the troubled sea when it cannot rest
wave after wave OF the sea comes aud goes
and the tide has no sooner gone than i
comes again so il is with those who ar
seeking after peace away from Christ. |
is he alone that can stretch forth the hand
and say to the troubled waters, Peace, b
still I'D. J.. Moody.

Filial Love.

There is not on earth more lovely sight
than the unwearied care and attention Of
children to their parents. Where flial love
is found in the heart, we will answer for all
the other virtues. No young man or woman
will ever turn out basely, we sincerely be-
levc, who has parents respected and beloved.
A child, affectionate and dutiful, will never
bring the gray hairs of its parents to the
grave. The wretch who breaks forth from
wholesome restraint, and dsregards the laws
of his country, must have first disobeyed his
parents, showing neither love nor respect for
them 1t is seldom the case that dutiful
son is found in the ranks of vice, among the
wretched and degraded. Filial love will
keep men from sin and crime. There never
will come time, while your parents live,
when you will not be under obligations to
them. The older they grow the more need
will there be for your assistance, care and at
tention TO their wants. The venerable brow
and frosty hair speak loudly to the love and
compassion of the child. II sickness and
intirmity make them at times fretful, beal
with them patiently, not forgetting that
time ere long may bring you to need the
same care aud attention. Filial love will
never go unrewarded. .-Amethya.

The Power Of a No."

The most tremendous word in the English
language is the short yet mighty word NO.
1t has been the pivot on which innumerable
destinies have turned for this world and the
next. Spoken at the right moment, it has
saved multitudes from disgrace, from ruin
yes, from untold suffering The splendid
career of Joseph turned on the prompt " no, "
spoken at the very nick of time. Had he
stopped to parley with that wanton woman
(as too many young men stop to talk with a
brighteyed temptress in the streeD he would
have been lost. How can do this great
wickedness and sin against God ?" saved
him from the dizzy edge of the precipice.
Daniel might easily have said TO himself,
" Oh, everybody about the court here drinks
wine and lives high on the kings meat
do not want TO be thought queer or Puritan
ical" lie dared to be singular, At the end
of two weeks he had cleaner countenance
aud a sweeter breath than any of the fast
livers in the palace. So did not was
the motto of this sturdy young teetotaler
If he had yielded to the current of teInpta
tiou, and drifted with it, we never should
have heard of such a man as Daniel. All
the people who make a marked success in
| life and who achieve any good work for God
are the people who are not ashamed to be
thought singular The man who runs with
the crowd counts for nothing. 1t is when
he turns about and faces the multitude who
are rushing on to do evil that he commands
every eye. Then by bold protest he may
"put thousand 10 flight" So the young
monk, Luther, turned about and faced the

Mind Over Matter.

During flying visit to Waukesha, Wis,
DIR. Robert Boyd related to us an incident
from the life of that prince of preachers,
Robert Hall, which is one of the finest
illustrations of the power of mind over mat
ter we have ever seen. As is well known,
Mr.. Hall was hardly ever free from suffer-
ing. His disease, so obscure as TO battle all
physicians, steadily tightened its hold upon
him, and many of his great sermons were
preached under circumstances that would
entirely have prostrated man of feeble
nerve. One Sunday morning when, as
usual, the church was packed to hear the
great preacher, one of his deacons, entering
the room at the rear of the pulpit, found
Mr.. Hall lying on the floor enveloped in
perfect cloud of smoke by which he was
endeavoring to deaden the pain. A student
went into the pulpit to conduct the opening
services. Mr.. Hall fingered in the vestry to
the very last moment wrestling with ex-
cruciating pain. At length as the last hymn
was being sung, he rose, or was lifted from
the floor. His eye was heavy with narcotics
his cheeks hung fabby, and his whole ex-
preston was lifeless. The sexton put his
coat on him and opened the door, Slowly
and laboriously pulling hand over hand he
climbed the pulpit stairs. With one hand

Fathers aud Sons.

"If you wish TO train up your child in the
way he should go, just skirmish ahead on
that line yourself" said wise Josh Billings,
and if he was not addressing fathers aud
thinking of boys, he ought to have been. The
writer was present once at social religious
meeting, when very large man, with
very large nose, and no doubt very large
heart also, arose and used his space of time
to tell what good mother he had and how
her influence had guided him, and finished
with an exhortation to all mothers to make
good men of their boys.
Two divines followed in q similar strain
and ended with the same exhortation. All
the brethren settled themselves more com
fortably into their seats and all the sisters
bowed their heads with meek faces as if
sweetly taking up the heavy burden thus
flatteringly laid upon their frail shoulders.
No, not all, for one sat bolt upright too in
dgnant for speech, TO see those great broad
shouldered men thus calmly shirking the
greatest responsibility God ever called them
| to bear.
Because some mothers, blessed with mighty
| faith and powerful will, have borne their
sons triumphantly over the quicksands OF
youthful temptations and planted their feet

justice it might be demanded of every
woman that she write books like Mrs. Stowe,
entrance large audiences like Miss Willard
and Anna Dickinson, or be brilliant news
paper correspondent like Mary Clemmer
What weight has mothers word when
weighed against a fathers example The
mother says, "My son, do not smoke, it j:
bad for the health, bad for the purse, bad fol
the morals, and the pleasure it affords is
trifling compared 10 the evil it works"
"What does ma know about smoking 2
reasons the boy; "she never smokes, pI
smokes, and | am going to-"
"Don't spend your evenings about the ba

mother, the conversation there is not suci

"What does ma know about bar room

the feelings of the average boy when he en-

Humility.

Christianity does not set men at any work
of mere resolution, saying, "Come, now, let
us be humble;" that would but multiply the
endless specimens of useless self-mortifca-
ton. But true Christianity puts men face
to face with the humbling facts, the great
realities of God and his TRUTH and then hu-
mility comes upon the soul as darkness
comes on the face Of the earth not because
the earth has made up its mind to be dark,
but because it has rolled into the great
shadow. 1t is the narrowness of our life
that makes us proud. You merchants would
be proud of your successful business If you
saw nothing beyond it, and you men and
women proud of your splendid houses if you
look no further. But If you could only see
God forever present in your life, and Jesus
dying for your soul, and your soul worth
Jesus dying for, and the souls of your breth
ren precious in his sight, aud the whole uni
verse teeming with work for him, then must
come the humility of the Christian. Tc
that humility let us devote ourselves, fol
in humility like that alone is peace

seems to have arrived at that age which he men
toned when boys learn that this Is not the only

on d" Masters" showed herself to be mistress"
Of the situation She noted that great masters
are not met every day, yet II we are masters OF
our own position and especially OF ourselves,
there are no greater and II we make proper use
of time and talents we may be masters Of both.
The vaedictory was given oy Will A. Holden
Of Middlesex with Freedom" subject ad-
mirably handled. His addresses to Professor
shipmap. president of the trustees, to Professor
Priest and each Of the teachers in order, and to
the steward, recounted many kndnesses for which
the class wished to express thanks As they sepa-
rated and went away-some to college, some into
business others to engage in teaching-they
would hold dear the memory Of their stay at God
dard, where so much pains has been taken to
make 1t pleasant and profitable In turn, they
wish to be remembered as friends. His talk TO
his classmates was especially touching, and not
few in the audience shed with them tear as
they thought Of the happy associations now to be
broken up, the tender ties to be severed, the bit
ter good-bys that must so soon be said.
The class now took It's place upon the stage and
with few well chosen words was commended to
Professor Shipman, who presented the diplomas.
These, he said, were records Of each members
work, measures of their attainments and pre-
dictions of their future After further re-
marks the members formed around the piano and
sang together the class song, composed by Miss
Eva T. Skinner and set to tune malvern" after
which Rev. Mr.. Shipman pronounced the bene-
diction.
The exercises throughout were Of the highest
order, and were compimented generally by those
competent TO Judge. The ladies' dresses were Of
white muslin, tasty and pretty sensibly lacking
trails and other things known only by technical
name and often seen on such occasions, intended,
we suppose to attract attention while the lady
reads an essay. The friends Of the class were
remarkably lavish with floral offerings and the
usher came up nearly every time with hands full
OF perfect beauties
At the annual meeting in the afternoon the
band furnished music and Rev J. Edward Wright
of Montpelier offered prayer Rev. Henry Banch-
ard Of Worcester, Mass, delivered one OF the
finest addresses to which 1t has ever been our
pleasure to listen. "The Study Of History" was
his theme Whatever enables us to read the
history of the past is history. This is not con-
fined to books. Coins, pictures, statues ruins,
| songs and ballads can be studied with as much
profit and perhaps more interest. The study Of
history secures more of the elements Of culture
than any other study By very apt illustration
| he showed how it increases onr ability to pay con-
slant attention. how it strengthens memory, and
how invaluable a good memory is. Nothing gives
better opportunity for cultivating reasoning
