THE LITTLE MEMBER.
A study of the Tongue From Several Point
Of Wow.

A Study of the Tongue From Several Points
Of Wow.
When one makes a study OF the
tongue from all points OF view, he will
be most impressed by its two character
istics. One is that it is, though little
member, full OF iniquity, and the other
is that in it's soft answer 1t Is the most
potent means OF turning away wrath
This double-edged power and propensity
is q marvellous gift, and it requires q
great struggle by every one to prevent
the soft answer from being entirely sub
jugated to the iniquity.
1t is so easy to permit the light jest to
intrude upon most solemn occasion; to
turn, by flippant, careless remark, the
most sacred belief OF another into ridi-
cule and TO pollute the lips with pro-
family and obscenity. Then that bit Of
SANDER about ones neighbor, how easy
it is for the little member of iniquity
to aid in its circulation each repetition
magnifying the original remark, until
some soul which might have been saved
by kind word is lost-driven to des-
pair by unwilling liars. With the tongue
may wounds be inflicted upon the mind
more bitter, because more lasting, than
those made by a keen-edged sword upon
the body. Nothing rankles like the
sneer or undeserved rebule. Nothing
is more insidious than the untruth told
in such a way about body that
he may never hear it to DO able
to disprove it. He may notice his
former friends drifting from him and
old acquaintance passing him without
recognition. He had been guilty Of no
crime or offense against propriety, but
the little memory of its secret work has
brought the shadow into his life.
Though it is difficult to give the soft
answer to wrath, the man who can do so
may find satisfaction in feeling not only
that he has done right, but that he has
had the advantage. Humanity is very
inflammable, and anger can arise from
spontaneous combustion. When two
persons unite in kindling the fires OF
wrath, there is going to be a heap OF
fire, injuring both of them. But II one
of them holds his tongue altogether, or
gives the retort courteous, he either
causes the other to work himself into
rage, which makes him impotent for the
time, or may turn away his wrath
altogether. This is the better result,
as it relieves the self-controlling indi-
vidual of the faint suspicion of having
been in the contrary instance partly
participant in the others lapse.
One word of encouragement is worth
more to the overworl1ed employe than
an additional wage given in business
way; gentle phrase will cause him or
her to forget hours of worry and re-
sponsibility, and kind 'thank you"
means a relief to the mind of the toiler.
Thoughtfulness for others, sympathy
with them in weakness and self-control,
which outwardly marks the man as q
man, will result frequently in the much
desired but scarce soft answer" sub
DUNG the world Of iniquity.-Rich-
mond (Va.) Times.

The State Of washington

The Salt Lake Tribune of late date
has the following barring one word which
Is changed to make the article more point
ed: Speaking Of that northwest coun-
try, the state Of Washington shows more
magnificent advance during the past ten
years than any other state did In this
union. Its population ten years ago was
but about 1900. Now IL Is Just q bout five
times 1900 people, showing an increase
Of nearly 400 per cent. No one can APP
preciate the rush and roar there who has
not been there to see. There Is probably
not another so interesting a spot In the
union today, to the business man, as tho
Puget sound country. Great cities are
springing up all around IL, and when
asked what Is to support those cities, the
people exultingly point 10 their timber, to
their agricultural lands, 10 their mines.
TO their fisheries. and TO the great ocean
that rolls before them. In the matter of
mines, an old shrewd miner told "a friend
OF the writer Of this. a few days since.
that up back OF Fairhaven they had a
new Leadville.as they would demonstrate
within the next year. A letter received
from another OLD friend speaks in the
most enthusiastic manner of some coal
measures he Is opening up back of What
com. Eastern Washington has room for
more wheat fields than any two eastern
states possess, and the land produces
about twice as much per acre as anyw here
In tho east. The timber long ago estab-
lished its own reputation. Ii Is measured
by counties almost. 1t Is practically in
exhaustible, and in quality has no rival
In the world. or course the fisheries are
as yet only half developed. but they will
in the near future rival those of New
foundland. No wonder the people are ex-
ultant; no wonder they are hopeful; no
wonder new men are fiOcking there by
thousands every week TO take part in the
grand advance, for the elements Of wealth
are there. II Is as fair land as ever the
eyes looked upon, and 1t is surrounded by
promises as rich as ever came to cheer
the hearts Of waiting people.-Salt Lake
