SPEAKING TRUTH IN LOVE.

How the Habit of Frankness May Savor
of Rudeness and Even Brutality.
1t is not uncommon to hear one who
has just uttered bitter remark add, as
If offering sufficient excuse: "Tm a
plain-spoken man, and speak out ex-
actly what believe" Upon this habit
Of frankness many pride themselves, as
If its justification were self-evident. To
others, however, it savors of rudeness,
sometimes even of brutality. There is
q certain meanness in trying to clothe
a harsh and unlovely action in the garh
Of a virtue. Christ certainly command
ed truthfulness. That is beyond dis
pute. Were the Importance of veracity
generally disregarded, social chaos also
would ensue, and in very short time.
If every one were to speak and act
truth, and only the truth, some of the
worst evils of our age would be greatly
diminished, if not wholly reformed.
But it must not be forgotten that
Christ insisted upon kindness as posi-
lively as upon truthfulness. To sacri-
flee the former for the latter is as wicked
as to neglect the latter for the sake OF
the former. But, in point of fact, it is
not necessary to sacr flee either on ac-
count of the other. They are entirely
and always consistent mutually. BY
speaking truth in love" as the apostle
expressed it in his letter to the Ephe-
SLAMS, the claims of accuracy and kind
ness both are honored. Love shows it.
self Enthusiastically in ones tone and
manner of speech. 1t does not tamper
with truth. 1t neither prevaricates nor
omits any thing which ought in honor
to be mentioned. Sometimes it speaks
with severity and in rebuke. But the
good will which is Leneath and behind
1t always Is evident. 1t has no tone of
bitterness nor any-even the faintest-
accent of Pharisaic exultation.
1t always commands respect, there
fore, and usually it wins regard also.
Mere truthfulness docs not necessarily
secure either, for its possible harshness
is too revolving. But the truth spoken
in love always has certain winsome-
ness, no matter how reluctantly one
listen to it; and it always is spiritually
helpful, in recollection if not in its i'm
mediate impression. To speak the
truth merely may be to throw away
good influence. and to repel Others
from the standards of life which we de-
sire them to accept. But to speak the
truth in love is very likely to win, both
for ourselves and for the truth. the re.
spect and affection which are desired

The Watchman Clubbing List.

To accommodate subscribers who desire
to obtain one or more periodicals through
one agency and at reduced rates, we will,
until further notice, receive subscriptions
for the WATCHMAN and any of the publica-
| Itions named below at the prices given in the
column headed With WATERMAN" The
terms are cash in advance. The subscrip-
| tion price of the WATCHMAN is $500 year
| in advance, or $3.50 when not paid within
three months.
The premium business has been greatly
overdone, and is being quite generally dis
carded by publishers of country papers, who
feel that they cannot longer afford to give
something for nothing lit having proved,
in most instances, a positive loss rather
than substantial gain to them. We will,
however, continue for the present our offer
of the WATCHMAN one year and set of
family scales for $500.
Any person sending us $500 for four
strictly ne,c subscribers will receive copy of
the WATcHMAN free for one year.
Subscribers who are in arrears on their
payments for the paper will confer favor
by sending an early remittance. Let no
one think his or her remittance of little ac-
count to us, as the aggregate of these over
due subscriptions is large and indispensable
to our business No paper discontinued
until all arrearages are paid, except at the
option of the publisher. In ordering paper
discontinued, the amount of arrearages if
any, should accompany the order, and thus
save annoyance to both subscriber and
publisher.

To Those in Arrears.

Will every subscriber be so kind as to ex-
mime the date on his paper affixed to his
lame? If he is not credited to date, or to
|he close of the year, he is in arrears. There
(ppear no substantial reasons why all over
lue subscriptions should not be paid within
|he next thirty days, since the amounts
bwing from the greater number of sub
|cribers are severally small. As we much
iesire to put our subscription list upon a
founder business basis, we appeal to every
subscriber to remit at once what may be
lue from him, and to resolve that hereafter
le will pay in advance or within reason
,ble time. We are glad to say that ma
ority of subscribers pay promptly, or at
least seasonably, and this should be the
practice of all Then there would be little
occasion for duns and other unpleasant
of the credit system.

Such a thing would not have been dreamt
of five years ago.
The popularity OF milk as a bev erage is
due also TO the fact that it is not only fat

better vitallzer than any phOsphateS or
other medicines the doctor can prescribe
for you. 1t stimulates without intuXicat
ing, which is IA further recommendation

think it good joke when a newspaper
