Should Be Swift to Hear.

BE not many teachers" Wernow
Lurn to a paragraph from the Eplstle
Of James which has its peculiar value
and interest as showing the diff Guilty
OF mastering the tongue. In the
church of Christ there must of neces-
sity be a great many more disciples
(learners) than teachers. Every man
should be swift to hear, but the posi-
ton of teacher carries with 1t such
a burden OF responsibility that no one
should audaciously assume 1t, see
Eph. All, etc. With this responsible
ity Is also a correspondingly heavier
Judgment if we stumble. He that
stumbles not In teaching, In the use
OF his tongue, is indeed a perfect man
and One that Is able to bride the
whole body; to guide the ship OF life.
Of state. and Of the church. amidst
the t~iercest storms.
The tongue is a fire" 1t is in
deed for it int1ames with anger the
whole body, the family, society and
the nation. History is ablaZe with the
cont1agrations that are a consequence
of untimely words and OF unbridIed
tongues. Prov. ISL, etc. The tongue
giving utterance to the thoughts OF the
heart (for out or the abundance OF the
heart it speaks), will intiame lust,
wither purity and consume strength.
1t fires jealousy and burns the sweet
bonds OF friendship. 1t will sever the
ties of home, burn away the tounda-
tons Of character, of commercial in
tegrity, social purity and destroy the
bonds of civic righteousness. 1t is
indeed "a world of iniquity among u
members" Let us quote from DR.. K.
A. Torrey: The fires OF hell are
thinking wrong about God and sin and
Christ and the Bible. Men usually
careful in handling fire are careless
about the tongue. Whence come the
words that intiame the Imagination
and the passions? Whence come the
words that undermine faith and the
credibility Of the Bible? If any man
question James words that the tongue
can no man tame he has evidently
never tried it himself" This does no
mean, however, that the tongue can
not be tanned, for what is impossible
with man is possible with God. James
draws a frightful picture OF the I'M
tanned tongue and OF its evil conse-
quences. He shows us that 1t has
proved a physical, moral, spiritual
eternal death to the whole circle Of
life. He also draws attention to an
other alternative, for with the tongue
we may also bless God. James is
the most intensely practical OF the
New Testament writer's and when he
alludes to the sixth commandment he
strikes at the root Of the whole mat
ter.

HOW LAWS ARE MADE.
$4,000 Bills firm The Last Congress.

In an interesting article in the
March Woman's Home Companion,
entitled How Laws Are Made" the
Vice President of the United States,
James s. Sherman, tells exactly how
the mechanism of legislation works at
Washington. He goes on to say that
| in the last session of Congress 49,
600 bills were introduced. Were
Congress in session 300 days year
and working hours a day, it could
devote only half an hour To each OF
these measures. Where the average
annual session il five months and
Congress sits less than five hours al
day, each bill could receive but eight
minutes consideration The major
portion Of this mass Of bills il OF q
private nature, relating to pensions
and claims against the government,
but there are thousands of measures
pertaining to general subjects, such
as the tariff and other important mat
| tiers.
It is obvious that this Immense
number of bills cannot be consider
ed individually. Mr.. Sherman says:
ut is in a committee that most Of
the real work Of lawmakng is done.
Debate, al a rule, has little effect
upon the fate of a measure. Tit i
largely the froth Of legislation; The
substance IL the work performed by
the committee which has the particu-
lar matter in charge On political
questions members vote their party
convictions, Oh are supposed to do %,
while upon other and non-political
matters, or those which have no par
tizan significance, they almost always
follow the recommendations of the
committees. Variation from this
practice is the exception and not the
rule.
I'm the early days of our Republic
member arose in his place and
formally introduced his bill, which
was read by title and appropriately
referred to committee. Tt was found,
however, by the House, with it, large
membership, that this practice con-
sumed a great amount of time, and
accomplished 40 good purpose, and
years ago 1T was abolished. Now
when a member Of the House wishes
to introduce bill, he walks to the
clerks desk at the dais, and drops it
into basket provided for that pur-
pose, or he calls page to do 1t for
him. In the course of his routine
business the bill-clerk records it, and
it is automatically referred to the
proper committee. As matter of
record the Speaker refers the bill to
It's committee, but in actual practice
this reference Is made by the clerk
to the Speakers table, who IL unofh-
cially known as the parliamentary
OF the House."
