USES oFTHE BIBLE.

4 wee miss was visiting her young
aunt who had just got married and
gone to housekeeping in Boston. The
little girl wandered over the new
home, examining everything, and final

waiting for her report
We'll, auntie, you seem TO Rave
about everything" she said. "But
have found one thing that is missing"
what is it?" asked the aunt.
"a Bible" the little girl replied,
soberly.
"A Bible?' questioned the aunt, to
test the child's answer. What would
l want Of a Bible?"
The little girl looked at her in won
der for a moment and then replied in
a sober tone:

those in the more The Bible isn't true
exalted positions zoe are htgher CRITICS
are all the more Liable to error in this
respect. They have special gift of
speech and another special gift of op-
portunity to use this speech, and so, ex-
erting a wide influence, their RESPONSE
bility evidently is proportionate.
1t Is not for us to Judge ministers or
others; there is One that judgeth: the
Lord. We greatly fear, however, that
many ministers. as well as Christians
In humber stations, fail to fully appre-
ctate their responsibilities for every
word they utter or have the opportu-
nifty Of uttering. Many tell us that for
years they preached what they did not
believe. How terrible! How stultify-
ing to their manhood! How serious a
reflection upon their brand Of Chris
tianity! D# aa al za.s-E s.s
A Little Match Starts Big Fire.
Saint James gives some forceful IL
Illustrations. Christians should put a
bride Of restraint into their own
mouths even as they put them into
the mouths of their horses. .s......
Not all of us have such wide OPP
portunities for good or evil, but in our
homes, In our offices, shops, markets,
we may send forth either good or vii
influences, far reaching for either hap
piness or misery, either upbuilding or
down tearing character, either Of help
fitness or Of discouragement. Surely
no Christian could be Indifferent to this
his most powerful member. Saint
James suggests that as match will
kindle a great fire so the tongue might
start great Juror, great cOmmotion,
and do much injury. He suggests
Boosting as being one of the most
dangerous uses of the tongue. Our ex-
perience corroborates this. Boosting
often leads US into error and fastens
US there because we. are not humble
enough to acknowledge the fault. It
often leads into untruth from which
we may have difficulty in escaping. 1t
is an evidence Of pride and therefore
un-C hristlike, improper. Angry words,
bitter words, sarcastic words, haunting
words, may set ablaze the course Of
whole life and impel it with angry
force toward the Second Death, Gehen-
ma. Hence Saint James suggests that
such evil breeding words are, like
sparks from Geheana, tending toward
destruction.
