There was curious Incident near

A native was riding along pathway
at sunrise when he saw the head and
arms OF man sticking out of the
ground. the arms waving wildly In sig.

prisoned in an ant-bear hole and was
half dead. When he was resuscitated
ne told how he had been coming back
on foot from Johannesburg with some
friends when he was taken ILL., His
friends thought he was going to die
and stuck him In the ant-bear hole and
deserted him. When he recovered he
prosecuted his friends and they went
to prison.

1t is when our faith in God the
Father, Son and Holy Ghost is quietly
expressed in daily action that it can
and does bear fruit in and tell upon the
faith and life of other men. The man
who should definitely regulate his re-
ligious life and devotion with the
thought mainly before him of how he
will thus by example be influencing
other people is. 1 think, approaching
the whole question from wrong side,
and is in grave danger OF doing positive
harm first to himself ana then to 9TH
ers. But it remains true that in this,
as in other matters, "No man liyeth to
himself" and that the attitude he Wis.,
IDLY and habitually takes in religious
matters must, whether he wishes it or
not, tell, for good or ill. upon those
about him. How infinitely that en-
hances the Importance of what every
one OF us believes and does - Arch

ness The Lord was set forth as
nigh TO "all that call upon him."
Every word OF the mouth to the
psalmist was to be spoken to the hon.
or of God. In Matthew we have de.
clared the fact that whosoever,
whether preacher or hearer, who
"confesses" Christ, acknowledges In
the face of persecution his Lord and
Master. shall be confessed by him
He who fails to do this, and thus de.
nies Christ, may expect nothing but
denial by the Master The heart may
believe unto righteousness. but with
the mouth" confession must be made
unto salvation. The whole trend of
these Scriptures is that the words we
speak are an important factor in the
destiny of the soul. Two months ago
we considered the birth as related 10
the making of a Christian; now
we are 10 study his speech as related
to that same end.
No factor is more important i'm
character making than that of speech.
Many man is destroyed by an wn.

l will take heed unto my ways, that /
sin not with my tongue" "How for
chile" said job, "are right words!"
And Solomon declared, "a word fit.
ly spoken is like apples of gold in pic

lives are sins of the tongue. And

Things 70 avoid in Speech. This

Ialsehood. gossip and slander. oh.
scenity and unkindness. and all the
lnnumerable kinds of uncharitable

careful to "cut out" certain things in
his speech as well as to incorporate

ia ughtin the Trap.

In certain New England city the
license forces gained the victory by q
Il majority of thirteen. That Overturu
was an astonishment 10 the citizens of
mo mean city" From u majority of
hundreds for no-license for a series of
ten years the opposition had won by
very small margin. What did it
mean?
Just this The sense OF security Oh
The part of many who had helped win
the victory for q decade. They failed
to 90 to the polls. believing that the
large annual majority could not, or, at
least. would not, be overcome. And
thus did they make their great mistake.
They forgot that eternal vigilance is
the price Of liberty"
Then again, there were others who
had voted year after year for no-lieense
who thought they would change and
vote the other way: for no good reason
to be sure. Some tried TO persuade
themselves that il might be good
thing for the city; that the license fees
would increase the city's revenue: that
certain desirable improvements
could thus he secured without addi-
tional taxes!
And so the pendulum. lifted to a
high point on one side, swung far over
to the opposite point. for there was Il
transfer Of 574 votes that year from
the no-license to the license column.
When that saloon victory was an
nounced and the people came to realize
what had happened. II gloom seemed TO
settle upon the city. and this was iuten.

A president of a Christian Endeayor

during that year. One of the voters
who thought change might be de
sirable, at the opening of the saloon
year. had two sober and promising
sons. When his ballot was cast estab-
fishing the saloons he seemingly never
took into consideration the possibility
of danger coming to his own home,

his distress and persistence came to be

wretchedness he was heard 70 say.

1t is not always eloquencc that is
needed to witness for Christ any
tongue that can utter word may be

tion.
We may confess Christ by our
words. but we should confirm the
words We speak, and the signs by
which we should do it are holy
and consistent life.
Selections.
Have you spoken word for Jesus,
And told to some around,
Who do not care about him,
What a Savior you have found?
Have you lifted up the lamp for others
That has guided your own glad feet?
Have you echoed the loving message
That seemed to you so sweet?
1t is a great thing to know when
to speak and when to keep silence.
A good word. spoken out of season,
is like an arrow shot When the game
has flown past. Know thine oppor.
tunity" was written on the temple at
Delphos. First. do not speak until
the right moment second, do not al.
low the right moment to go without
speaking.
When Latimer was on trial for
heresy, he heard the scratch of pen
behind the tapestry. In moment he
bethought himself that every word
he spoke was taken down, and he
says he was very careful what words
he uttered. Behind the veil that hides
eternity is a record-book in which our
every syllable is taken down. Even
the most trivial are not forgotten, for
the Lord Jesus tells us that every
idle word that mon shall speak, they
shall give account thereof in the day
of judgment"
Never think kind words are wasted ::
Bread on waters cast are they.
