10, "FOur Red Flags"-Text, Rom.
xii, 10; Prov. vi, "a; Phil. Ill, 3.

The chief difference between an ego
list and a wise man is that one thinks
he knows a great deal, and the other
thinks there is a great deal which he
does not know.
The dangers in self conceit are vari-
Gus. If one thinks he knows much, he
will be apt to close his eyes to what he
does not know and think it of little ac-
count when, in fact, it may be far more
important than all he has learned.
Again, he will be quite likely to look
contemptuously on those whom he
rates as less learned than himself and
in despising them fail to gain friend
ships Of great value. His conceit will
lead him to make false estimates OF
himself and his knowledge and so lead
him into embarrassments and perhaps
dangers which juster view of matters
would have led him to avoid. Self con-
ceit makes one ridiculous, uncompan-
ionable and unreliable.
2. Prejudice. BE of the same mind
one toward another John Wesley rem
dered this, agree to the same affection
toward each other"
This danger signal follows close aft
er the previous one of self conceit.
That danger lies in misjudging oneself;
this lies in misjudging others. 1t is IA
tai to all fraternity and destroys the
base of unity and is utterly un-Chris-
tan. Judge not that ye be not Judg-
ed" is the Masters way of stating the
warning. What skill it needs to right
" estimate others at their true value!
Rather let us say what love it needs to
esteem others as they deserve! The
common lack is in ourselves and not in
others. They are more worthy than we
think Prejudice jaundices the judg-
ment. The disease is in us. Beware
of prejudice!
8. Jealousy. Jealousy is the rage of
man. He will not spare in the day
Of vengeance; he will not regard any
ransom"
This lies the next station beyond
prejudice Dislike has risen to anger
and hatred. The vision is not now dis
torted but resentment has blinded
sight. This is a torment of hell. The
soul that feels jealousy has reached
the antithesis of love. Jealousy is
cruel as sheol; the flashes thereof are
flashes of fire." Who passes this dan
ger flag rushes to ruin. Yet what liza
bility the common affairs of life give
for jealousy unless the warning is
needed in time! A little self conceit
switches us from the main track, some
petty prejudice throws us still farther
over, and the first thing any one knows
we are on the track of jealousy and
far from the road of righteousness and
love-
4. Reckless handling of another's
name. Speak not evil one of anoth-
err" Is not this caution often neglect
ed2 With what carelessness are Incl
dents related to the injury of the abb
sent one! The itching tongue is respon-
sible for much Of it. We must talk to
be sociable and be thought witty, and
"in the multitude of words there
wanteth not SIM Let a watch upon
thy lips. Better still, let thy heart be
pure and right with God Then shall
these signals guide to safety.
