Language IL a wonderful revslator.
1t shows personal and racial condi-

ought to be engaged in linguistic
studies. But 1 purpose giving a few
practical and spiritual suggestions
rather than a technical treatise.
Our words-the product Of our
hearts and minds, the utterances OF
our tongues. Have you studied the
Bible with this theme before you?
Notice the multiplicity of expressions.
as to thinking and speaking. No won

Words exhibit the heart. "Out OF,
the abundance of the heart the mouth
speaketh." II ones words pertaining
to the true and good are soon ex-
hausted, this is an index that Of such
elements his heart supply is scant.
I would that our young people
might be conscious OF the fact that
they are known by their language.
All these should understand that pure
words carry with them strength and
reveal him as a lovely character who
constantly uses such words.
It seems to me that the sublimese.
expression Of pure heart and Of
complete self-mastery is found in dis
erection in speech. Bacon said: 'Dis-
erection in speech is more than elo-
quence." Solomon said: 1.-THE words
of mans mouth are as deep waters,
