word, more than one gentle spirit has

The Evil Tongue Untamable.
Man has shown his mastery of the
world by his subjection of it's animal
tribes. Nearly two thousand years ago
James could say, For every kind Of
beasts and birds and of serpents. and Of
things in the sea, is tanned. and hath been
tanned of mankind" but he was compelled
to add. But the tongue can no man tame;
That statement is as true today as 1t was
nineteen hundred "ears ago Man has
made great progress, he has mastered
steam, he has harnessed the lightning
the very winds are his servants. but the
evil tongue mocks every effort to master
1t. And this shows the need of conver-
sion- Man is the brute's master. and the
brute will kneel to him and obey him.
but Christ is master. He alone can
remove the poison of asps from beneath
our tongue. He can sweeten our speech
by giving us the mind which was also in
Christ" No living creature can change
make itself. The lion. the tiger the
leopard may be tanned. but only by the
power of superior nature upon 1t mold
ing ii into tn. nobler form. The only be-
ing who can thus mold man into a nobler
image is God Then there is no excuse
for the evil tongue. Robertson calls ii
a monstrous anomaly in Gods world.
Get rid Of the censorious spirit
