THE TONGUE OF THE GOSSIPER
MORE DEADLY THAN THE VIPER

The purposes of God are all benign; the per
version Of them comes from man. The human
tongue was given for the expression of thought
and the praise of God. 1t utter the grandest
thought to inspire; the feeblest cry for help IN
distress. The voice of man in power, the voice
of the child in pain are from God But who will
say that the Author of all good made the tongue
of the gossipper2 Perversion; degeneration to
the last stage of putridty from the purity of
Gods creation to the tongue of the gossp-as
annoying as the voice of the mosquito in the dark
as fearful as the hiss of the serpent in his
No murderer so savage, no beast steathy, of
all things to be dreaded is he she who strikes
the assassins blow in the back the cowardly blow
in the dark
The world has long agreed that good name
is more to be valued than great riches; that
mans reputation is more to him than his purse
and yet good-name and reputation are at the
mercy of these moral perverts, gossip IS
utterly detestable, and more to be feared than
any hidden beast He is insnuatng; he is crafty,
he is cowardy and a lara liar. for even the
dissemination of an evil truth does not satisfy
his morbid appetite it must be a lie to be crafty

Society is to blame for the existence of this
hideous parasite this wart on its own body If
it would dscountenance it, and enforce the law

becomes, by reason of a false standard of courage,

So an honest man is condemned to the use of
unlawful violence But-softly; the creature is
not always confined to pantaloons; it sometimes
wears pettcoats. A man would be condemned

it CHANGED to be a woman
And so it goes. No one however innocent,
escapes their lying tongues. It would seem that
society likes the foul emulation of the gossip; it

"Defame man of energy and soon
The mob will echo mingling truth and lie.
Let one lone. NANCY mongrel bay the moon
And all the village ours will swell the cry" /
This unhoy disposition of the many is the
poison injected into the social body by the
gossip. Can we not eXtirpate this evil2 Can
we not appeal to the virtue of ourselves and say:

Let the community protect the individual

alas, the gossip and the snake. the mosquito
and the house-fly, have been with us always, and
perhaps will always be. All of them are com
