You notice there is a tendency
among the people Of the present day
to get back to the one tongue. Some
people seem to think that the day will
never come, but you can not tell how
soon the Lord may change the people
back to the present tongue when every
one will speak alike. l thoroughly
believe that we are drifting toward the
time when every one will speak the
same language. There are so many
different kinds of tongues in the world
today, that our time will only allow
us to speak a few. There is the evil,
slanderous tongue which Is terrible
thing. The slanderous tongue is a
fire-a world of iniquity; and the
tongue has a mighty influence. Death
and life are in the power of the
tongue. There is the lying tongue.
How easy 1t was for us to tell lie
in preference to telling the truth.
There is the double twisted tongue, a
tongue that gets a story all twisted up
so that YOU do not know when they
are telling you correct stories, and
the swivel tongue, the tattling tongue.
All these with many others are unre-
generate tongues. But when the
whole man becomes new in Christ Je-
sus then he begins to pray, set a

PARASITES OF DISEASE,
Curious 'Maladies Traced TO Insec-
tiVOrOus Activity.

From Popular Science Monthly.
Texas fever, an infectious disease of
cattle which prevails as an endemic
disease In certain regions in the south
ern portion of the United States, has
been shown, by the researches of The
obald Smith and other bacteriologists
belonging to the Agricultural depart
ment to be due to a blood parasite be-
longing to the protozoa- In this dis
ease the tick has been shown to be the
intermediate host of the parasite. The
ticks which fall from infected animals
give birth to numerous progeny In
the pastures frequented by them, and
these young ticks attach themselves
to other animals which subsequently,
feed In the same pastures and trans
NIT to them the fatal infection.
The tsetse fly disease of Africa has
recently been shown by the researches
or Bruce to be due to a flagellate in
fusorium which is found in the blood
OF infected animals. This disease is
fatal to the OK, the horse, the dog,
the sheer, and the ass, but not to the
Indigenous wild animals in the re-
searches of Bruce indicate that the fly
acts as a carrier of the parasite from
ulsedsSu 10 nealtny ANIMALS. he mas
shown by experiment that after feed
ing on the blood of an infected animal
the tsetse fly can communicate the
disease to a healthy animal by it's
bite. After a short period of incuba-
tion the haemataZoa appear in the
blood concurrently with the develop
ment of fever, and followed by rapidly
progressive anaemia, dropsy and
death.
The so-called "surra disease" which
prevails In certain portions of India,
is believed to be due TO a similar par
asitic protozoan. According to LIN
gard, this intusorium exists as an in
nocuous parasite In the blood of rats
in India 1t is not pathogenic, or only
fesbly so. for the native OK of India,
but gives rise to a fatal infectious dis
ease in horses, dogs and camels.
