Cost Of 0nng Roads.

A recently published report of the
Boston park commission Is interest
ing In 1906 twelve miles OF road
were treated with oil to keep down
the dust. and the result was so salts
factory that In 1907 the whole extent
OF more than forty miles was treated
IN this way. Mr.. Putnam, the engi-
neer, has carefully calculated the cost,
and he says that the annual cost Of
sprinkling q thirty-foot roadway was
$4S9 a mile, whereas the cost Of oil
ing the same roadway thirty feet wide
was 1915. In addition to laying the
dust the asphaltum in the oil had a
binding effect on the surface Of the
road, and very materially lessened
the cost for repairs. The oil Is put
on In an emulsion in which fifteen
gallons of water Is mixed with 100
gallons of crude oil, the whole being
agitated to the proper point OF cmui-
sion. and then $50 gallonn mixed With
450 gallons of water and eprinkled
on the roads. The plan has given
the very best of satisfaction In Boston,
and might be tried elsewhere with
correspondingly satisfactory results

(James. 81 This brings us to the sub
ject of our lesson. 1t is called The
Power of the Tongue Let us change
the phra seology.
The Purpose Of Speech.
We aim TO be simple and practical. The
obvious purpose of speech seems to be
that we may communicate our thoughts.
desires and purposes to our fellows. In
some sort. language is universal. but in
man is found it's fullest. ripest develop
ment 1t is the greatest gift that God
has Bestowed upon man. for without 1t
all other gifts would have been impossi
Bile. Speech is the revelation of the man.
A great educator once said that to a culti-
waited man a simple sentence would reveal
the whole of the speakers life. 'As he
thinketh in his heart" says the proverb.
so he is" but language is simply the ex
preston of thought. 1t is the revelation
of the man. and for that reason Jesus
said tMatt., 13:36-3D that every idle
word that men shall speak they shall
give an account thereof in the day of
Judgment. For by thy words thou shalt
ne justified. and by thy words thou shalt
universally recognized. Ii is TO enlighten,
persuade and ennoble. Instances of its
power are everywhere. You may begin
with the Garden Of Eden. 1t was Ewes
persuasion that led Adam TO partake of
the forbiddeni fruit. Demosthenes fired al
Greece with his words: and Peter the Her
NIT stirred Europe and raised an army of
forty thousand men for the recovery Of
Jerusalem by the same means. Every

helm. and you are being directed by the
base and vile.
The Evil of an Uncontrolled Tongue.
A man who does not control himself
is a moving magazine of evil. He is in
danger of explosion anywhere and at any
time. James says Verse 81: THE tongue
is fire. 2 world of iniquity fire that is
kindled and fed by the fires of hell This
is strong language If the minister should
today use this language in the pulpit it is
possible that some would say that 1t was
too strong. You will not think so when
you come to study the effect of human
more deadly and destructive than fire? 1t
may be small in its beginning, but spark
of fire and tinder. and. as in Portland,
Me. and in Chicago, the confagration
may be ppalling. spark of fire from
the engine. as the train dashed through
the forest, has kindled a blaze that has
destroyed millions of trees. And so the
feudS that have grown until they have
rent nations and caused the shedding of
rivers of blood have all been the result
of an evil tongue. The dreadful massacres
of the Christians by the Turks. which
are such a reproach and disgrace to the
Christians. the divisions of neighborhoods
and of families. the embitterment of
friends. all this, and more. is the result
of the evil tongue. Matthew Henry thinks
that James may have been referring to
censorious speech. How much of ii there
is the severe. unkind. cutting speech. SO
thoughtlessly uttered, but which as Paul
says e Tim, HID. doth eat a cank
err" One has well said. "A kind word

where are illustra tions of this truth. The
missionary abroad relies upon this power.
The minister at home. the Sunday school
teacher. the parent. the friend, all rely
upon 1t as means to accomplish their
ends. And how important is often a sin
gle monosyliable. the maiden's Yes or
No: the young man in temptation-all.
How little we understand the purpose and
the power of speech.
Speech Should Be Subject to Our
Control.
Speech is not laWless power that takes
possession of the man. and compels him
to utter what ii will. Speech is the Ian
euaee of spirit. The spirit uses speech
for the accomplishment of it's purposes.
This is the meaning of James. Behold.
we put bits in the horses mouths, that
they may obey u.s. Notice the words
we and us" We put bits in the
horses mouths, we turn about their whole
body. The bit is simply an instrument
by which the man accomplishes his pur-
pose The bits turn the horses. but they
are used by the rider for that purpose.
And so with the ships. They are turned
in any direction by the helm, but the helm
is used by the pilot. And SO in every case
we come back to that which is central in
man. Speech. have said, reveals the
man. but man must show his nobleness
and purity by the right use of words. The
oath, the lie, that impure speech, shows
that ali that IS noble and true has left the
Evening star., 1909-06-05
The Power Of the Tongue. James,
S.1-12

The burden OF the Epistle of st. James
is the absolute necessity of moral recti-
tude. The Christian world was then
young, but already evils of most
serious nature had crept into the church.
Against these Ii was his business to pro-
test. He demanded that there should be
harmony between doctrine and practice.
For instance, it is the doctrine of the
church that God Is no respecter of per-
sons Acts, 10:3A), but Determinations
had already begun. The man with a
gold ring and goodly raiment was hon
ored with prominent position In the
church and the poor were placed in OBJ
scure corners. Then, too, some were in
cIined to a sentimental fatalism-to say
that temptation is of God and so that
resistance is useless. Still others were
hearers but not doers of the word. while
others boasted of their faith and despised
work as unnecessary. Against all these
James protested. Religion as taui by
him is yital-it permeates every fiber of
cur being and controls every act of our
life. So wide is its influence that ii must
control the tongue. IF any man among
not his tongue, but deceiveth his own
heart. this mans religion is vain"
DANES, :-6D Here is his description Of
the perfec, man: IF any man offend not
in wcrd. tie same is perfect man.
