Is or 20 years old, and when they hap
pen to have their feelings touched,
pour it forth as a sweet morsel from
beneath their tongue.
In olden times such people were
properly Inundated. The men were
put in stocks; the woman's mouths
were closed with al iron bride called
a Drank. 1t is a pity such a punish
merit could not be reintroduced. 1t
would be a warning sight to see one
or two representatives of our social
set standing on the city hall green
alongside of a Front street scold
bridled with a Drank.
The second meaning has a still wild
Ier application. Love imputeth no evil.
The putting a bad construction upon
language, doings and upon appear
ances. This is far too common in this
community. Some may say all small
towns are the same. Those who have
lived for years in towns of a similar
size will deny this most emphatically.
For sometime past the Life of New
York has been giving prizes for arti-
Giles on the worst city in the United
States in point of climate, political
conditions. morals. opportunities, etc
r~esentative of Life will not visit Lara
mic. The gist of the article would not
be its unhealthy atmosphere, bad
water or i'll drained streets, but rather
putrid hearts. How can this be sub
I~stantiated? Look at the church build
ings, examine the condition Of the
congregations; inquire into the amount
Of money given for church work and
charity. Then compare the conditions
with any town of similar size and i'm
portance in the United States. Appro-
priately summed up in the terse re-
mark of a prominent and worthy citi-
zen, Church and moral sentiment is
idown at the heel"
If you look at objects through smok-
ed glasses they will appear dark. Now
this is the explanation of the words
and actions of those who are disposed
to throw Il i%nsinuations and innuen-
ldos in conversation. Their moral Wis
ion is impure. their hearts are vile,
their thoughts are evil. For out OF
the abundance of the heart the mouth
speaketh." God only a read the
heart, but many people give away the
condition Of their hearts.
By harsh judgment and svil con
struction of others words and actions
they proclaim themselves to be of de-
PRAYED taste and devilish heart.
Some things may have a bad lool
at first sight which are totally differ
ent on close examination. If Gods
love be in the heart, it will always as
sumo that every man and every wo'
man have an explanation of his or hel
conduct that is satisfactory, because
love imputeth no evil but rather the
good apostle goes on to say-"Lovt
rejoiceth not in unrighteousness blu
lrejoiceth with the truth" Love is new
er glad but always sorry when it hear
of unrighteousness. Panied becaus'
1t knows that wrong doing will Away
bring its own punishment. Love would
60 out at such times with quiet step
and seek an opportunity to speal
words of forgiveness and cheer. Tt
say nothing, but If compelled to speal
to do so in carefulness. What shall
we say of those who, not content will
publishing lying stories, like vulture'
and buzzards, go out seeking the pu
trid moral of our social life
Speak out in words of rejoicing whel
men and women are showing allegiance
to Jesus Christ, when truth is triumph
ing, when words of eternal life ar
moving the hearts of the people
There is too much rejoicing over un
righteousness. 1t is difficult to get fire.
