THE TONGUE.


There is no greater source of evil
than the unsanctfied use OF the ton.
que. Nine.tenths of all our social pol
itical and religious troubles are trace
able to this unruly member. 1t des.
troys the sanctity of home, sewers the
ties Of affection between husband and
wife, parents and children; sets other
wise peaceable communities in tu-
multi of unwarranted and needless ex.
element. This deadly weapon has de-
throned empires, crushed kingdoms,
laid waste continents, and sent desoa.
ton and destruction and dismay from
one end of our world to the other.
The tongue is the medium Of CONVEX
sation--talk, tattling, tale-bearing, ~
ing, gossiping, etc. 1t is the mouth
piece of the brain, and willingly re-
spends to It's demands. The confusion
of tongues languages 2,3iS years, b.
c., put stop to the building of the
tower of Babel, and penetrated the de-
signs of a wicked and worldly-glory-
seeking people. If there could be some
limit TO the vast amount of worthless
triiling, demoralizing and dangerous
conversation, it would stop the build
ing of many tower of trouble.
A tatling, gossip peddling person in q
community is more to be feared than
Bengal tiger, or the Asiatic cholera.
You can kill the tiger, but the mischief
maker goes free. You may overpower
as fearful disease as the cholera or
the yellow fever, but the mischiefmak-
ing, tattling, back biting, whispering
news, vender, gossip-monger is incur
able, manageable, irresponsible and
uncomfortable. They are the terror by
night, the pestilence that walketh in
darkness, the arrow that lyeth by day
and the destruction that does not waste
or cease at MONDAY. Their highest as
pration is to disturb the peace and
happiness OF the community in which
they live. On the other hand, pure,
chaste use of the tongue is the most
powerful agent for good Many per-
sons accomplish more by their silence
than they could possibly do by any
thing they might say.
The Christian, as well as everyone
else, is commanded to order his con-
versation as becoming Goodness. No
true Christian can be either a tattler,
back bitter, liar, or gossip monger.
His conversation is to be discreet and
edifying such as will minister grace to
those who hear. His guide says he
shall give an account on the day of
judgment for every idle word. "Be ye
holy in all manner Of conversation,

ADVANTAGES OF EARY BUYING.

ADVANTAGES OF EARY BUYING.
The Post office Department has
Joined in the crusade for sarly holiday
shopping. 1t advises the public that
the parcel post has added very much to
the business of the postal service.
In the hope of tightening the holi-
day burdens of postal employees the
Postmaster General has issued a cicu-
lar urging that parcels be mailed early
wrapped securely and addressed plain
ly and bearing the words, mot 10 be
opened till Christmas.
The ADVICE is good and ought to be
followed Early buying will make it
easier on everybody who has to do
with the sale and delivery Of holiday
goods. 1t pays from an individual
standpoint and it is in the interest Of
the general welfare. If the early
shopping habit ever becomes firmly
established il will give some thousands
OF American citizens n better chance
to enjoy merry Christmas than they
can hope for otherwise.
There is no reason why it should not
be so. In Manitowoc, for instance,
there is no occasion for rush at the
eleventh hour. The stores already
have their supplies OF holiday goods.
The stocks are in good order There
is more time for adequate inspection.
There are dozens of reasons why it is
better to make ones purchases now
than to put it off to so late date that
shopping must be done under high
tension.
There will be less trouble for every
body if the buying public will get early
into the buying game. The advertise
ments in the Pilot supply all the nee
essary details to the literate population
and the show windows are carrying a
message both to literates and litter
ates. Buying early will subServe the
common good and Will do much to as
sure safe and sane" Christmas.

MANY Buns About,

''The under dog" whether through
circumstances or choice, is very
much in evidence these cold raw
mornings. He and about eighteen
of his brothers slept in the city hall
in the guest room provided by the
city for them few nights ago. Early
in the morning they are out upon
the streets waiting for something to
turn up. A merchant said that on
Thursday morning several knocked
their heels together to keep warm in
front of his store for half hour.
How to treat these "down and
outs" is a problem to the kind-heart-
ed. There is no way Of knowing
whether they are ready to work
should work be offered them, or not.
One thing is certain-that there is
little work for such as they, even
for those inclined to work. But
they are human beings and as such
are entitled to consideration.

ing as nicely as could be expected.
