ISLANDER AND GOSSIP

Slander and gossip-what two word:

meaning more destruction, misery
heartache, grief and despairl Who sc
low and despicable as they who delight
to use this means to destroy character
and crush the innocentg A writer once

and infamy that could moral lever

No one is safe from the filth and
scum of the poisonous tribe. An unjust
and unfavorable inuendo is started
against person of unblemished char
acter, it gathers force as it is rolled
as sweet morsel from tongue to tom

purifying influence a stain has been
stamped on the fair name of an inno-

culummator, who like the loathsome
worm, leaves his path marked with the
filth Of malice and the scum Of false
hood. Few are without faults and most
persons are inconsistent and upon these
faults aud mistakes the petty SANDER
er delights to feast. 1t is commonly
said that women are more prone to. gos-
sip and less merciful to the faults of
their sex, and alas from unbiased OBJ
this is lamentably true. A
word with a glance, gesture a shrug
of the shoulder and shaft of cruelty
has been sunk deep into some injured
soul. 1t seems as if even Christianity
has not scared the venomous tongue.
If Christ possesses us wholly and we
have been transformed by this spirit
there will be no disposition to stone our
neighbor even if he has faults. Are we
any more competent to judge than the
Christ who said He that is without
sin among you let him first cast
stone.'' Does it not become the duty
IF all Christian women to utterly stamp
out from their midst the spirit of
SANDER and gossip. 1t is deplorable

eel their moral superiority to be tine !
