of our loved ones as they pass from us into eternity.
 Used by all, they become the chan nel of communication ibstw ween the in habitants of earth. They convey the ideas fone mind to that of another. As said by one: They are the mother of knowledge, the bond of friendship, the commerce of hearts. the daughter of reason. the crowning gift of animate creation. They are an index to char acter, hence We have that old express sion, His word is as good as his bond. the bond of his character. his life. As a channel of communication between mind and mind. they must be under stood. Words mean nothing to us un- less We understand them. Understand ing the words spoken. they have an in fluence. "A word has set nations afire, caused blood to flow like a river. touched the chord of soul and caused it to vibrate with a higher life. The simpler they are, the more powerful. They lift up and cast down, make the home delightful place of refinement or degradation, lead men to success or failure, plant in the heart flowers or thorns. We will never know their in- fuence until we stand at the judgment.
 ''The text presents to us two classes of words-thoae that condemn and those that justify. Notice words of con- demnation-a perversion to ignoble uses of the faculty of speech Of this the whole bible Is emphatic in its denuncia- tion. Notice some of the words under this division of the subject: Idle words no good to self or others. They express the same to my mind as an idle fellow. 'Jesting'-go where men congregate and you will possibly hear words that would make Satan himself blush with shame Let neither filthiness nor foolish talk ing proceed out of your mouth Society talk'-the small chitchat of the draw ing room. Even in homes of refinement where you would expect them to talk of art, science, literature, etc, nothing but nothingnesa Not educational, re- fining or uplifting. 'Blasphemous words, swearing calling God into judgment. Sometimes will not use Gods name but some king. Swear not at all.' It helps you none and frequently is very harsh to others. Hypocrisy'-o thing to
 
 your face, another to your back Sian derous words'-speaking evil of one. Tell of faults and leave unsaid the good qualities. Speaking iies'-circulat.ng things not true. "A liar io an abomina- ton in the sight of God. An individual that will lie canont be trusted. Gossip ing'-dispensing and hearing something about our neighbors. l do not know of any class that finds so much pleasure in their occupation-and we find so many engaged in it. An editor sent out this circular: Send in the news. If any person runs away, steals anything, gets divorced or does anything remarkable, let us know, for this helps to make good home paper
 "Such words as have mentioned will bring you. friend. into condemnation Words of justification'-words of truth. You need have no fear of the truthful man; he will deal with you right. Kind word9'-they turn away anger, ease the wounded heart, stay and support of the discouraged and downcast Words that lift up, that fall upon the ears of those to whom spoken and bless are words. that will justify us.
 By your words you shall stand Justified or condemned"
