a rudder will be lost. A tongue
needs direction and control, for
while a little thing, it is tremen-
dously powerful
b. An uncontrolled tongue is dan
gerouS ((vv. $50. How vivid is the
imagery Of the words before US. A
fire spreading and destroying, an
untamed animal running wild in all
its fury, a deadly poison eating
away the lte-such is the mcon-
trolled tongue.
We recognize the truth Of these
things. We see how vile nd care
less speech debases man, how words
chosen for their power to destroy
pour forth from the press, over the
footlights, from man to man and lit
orally "set on fire the course OF
nature" ". 81.
c. An uncontrolled tongue is in
consistent wv. Gid. Again the hg-
ure is striking. The fountain which
pours forth fresh pure water to sus-
tain life does not at the same time
bring forth the bitter brackish wa
ter. Fig trees do not bear olives,
vines do not bear figs. Nature is
consistent and dependable.
But the tongue-ah, that is an
other matter! How sadly do we
confess our failure, for here do we
Offend ALL ". %. We bless God,
and defile and destroy man, with
the same lips. These things ought
not so to be- ". i0). May God
give us grace and strength that they
may not be so.

The word conversation" in v. IL
is an English word which now
means talk" but which formerly
meant manner Of living"
/. Words and works must agree
wv. 1910. 1t is only right that
those who speak of following Christ
should prove it in their manner Of
living. Talk may be smooth and
broad in its claims, but the demon
stration Of its reality and honesty in
in the daily walk. This calls for
wisdom which is divine-earthly wis
dom will not suffice.
2. Earthly wisdom is false wv.
1870. There is a wisdom apart
from God. Men of the world are
brilliant and able, but scrutinizo
their wisdom and you will find that
it is sensual is, Of the

from spiritual. All too often it il
downright 'devilish" ". l6).

Nature's loneliness

Who can explain the secret pathos
of Natures loneliness? 1t is touch
Of melancholy inherited from our
mother Eve. 1t is an unconscious
memory of the lost Paradise. II is
the sense that even if we should
find another Eden, we would not be
fit to enjoy it perfectly nor stay in
it forever.-Henry Van Dyke.

Lesson for October IL
CHRISTIAN SPEECH AND

IC-Christian Speech.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP.
IC-Chrtsttan Words and Works.
Christian speech and conduct may
well be studied in the book Of
James, for he stresses the impor-
lance Of works as demonstrating
faith. There are two common err
rors-one is to attempt to be justi-
fed by good works apart from faith
in the Lord Jesus Christine other
is to talk about believing in him
and then fail to live in accordance
with ones profession. Some have
assumed that James fell into the
former error, urging works as a
substitute for faith, but an intelli-
gent reading of his epistle clearly
indicates that he is in no sense con-
tradicting the Scripture doctrine Of
justification by faith, but is show
ing that professed faith which does
not result in Christian living is in
reality dead and useless thing.

Current Comments Written From
 Washington

Once more Congress, that never failing source of comment, is in session. Although called specific ally to attend to emergency leg islation, the Senate starts busi- ness by deadlock on the anti lynching bill. The end sought to be accomplished is commendable, but in no sense represents an en- ergency. Without attempting to defend lynching under any cir cumstances, it is to be observed that benign measures generally are used to strengthen the central government and to detract from the rights of the states. How far states are to be protected throws us back to a discussion that ragged years ago, and so it appears that Legislation, like almost every thing else,goes around and around in a circle, with little involved that is new essentially and in principle.

The Presidents message called for action tending to help the far ner, for tax revision, especially as to small business, for crop con- trol, for regulation of wages, and for the familiar activity which is designated by the somewhat elas- tic title of reorganizating the government, any one of which, to say nothing of all taken together, is enough to start general scra- tching of Congressional heads, and it appears that if Congress quits at the end of the session with a clean slate there will be plenty to do in the meantime. Conforming to precedent, the Senate recessed to notify the Chief Executive that Congress was in session. He may have suspected

Mexican Govt.
 Is Thinking Of
 Underprivilege
(By Preston Grover)

WASHINGTON, tP)-The Mex ican government, in bringing the abundant life to that country's underprivileged 90 per cent, is employing methods which provide our state department with round the-clock nightmares.
 Mexican laws authorize the gov ernment to make little farms out of big ones and it so happens that some of the very biggest farms are owned by wealthy Americans. Rich Americans have been the target of recent share-the-Wealth drives in this country but hardly in the direct approach adopted by President Cardenas.
 Under the law, Cardenas may limit the size of any farm 10 l50 acres of irrigated land Measured by American farm standards that is still sizeable acreage, but it is still sizeable acreage, but a a merely a chicken-run compared to some of the foreign owned es- tates Cardenas is cutting up wal he fashion for distribution among the landless peons.
 AS an example, the PIP, ,000-acre estate of William Jenkins in the state of Puebla has been nation alized" It will be split up into cow pasture sizes to be farmed by peons who never before own ed the shadow under their own sombreros. Similarly large tracts are owned in Sonora by Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney and the John Hays Hammond estates.
 A Lesson in Valuation
 This business of putting the Farm laborer on a place of his own has been one of the theme songs of the present administra- ton in the United States and nat urally this country can't foam

with wrath when Mexico decides that what is good for the share cropper north of the Rio Grande also is good for the peon below. Little in the U. s. farm tenant bill, however, parallels the do-it- now purpose of the Cardenas plan.
 The state department, whose job it is to fret over these things, does not dispute the virtue of the Mexican objectives but decries the method.
 It seems that the Mexican gov ernment is frying foreign land owners in a grease of their own

(By The Associated Press)

SHONGHAI, Dec. 16th-Rear- Admiral Teizo Mitsunami, chief of the Japanese Naval aerial op- erations, has been relieved of his post as a result of bombing of the U. s. gunboat Panay.
 The Domei Japanese news az ency which carried the announce ment of his removal, said: the government is acting swiftly to carry out it's pledge to Americans to punish the officers responsible for the attack, and further ex- plained that Admiral Mitsunami was also recalled because most of the bombardments in China were carried out by Naval planes.
 Foreign observers said they be lieved that the Panay bombing and other attacks may have been made by young officers who dis regarded the efforts of thier com manders to control their actions.
 Japanese forces have planned their formal triumphal entry into the fallen city of Ranking, to- morrow afternoon, while other Japanese columns continued to push further into the interior.

Washington, Dec. 13.-(AP)- The
Supreme Court oodered dismissal to-
dav Of litigation involving constitu-

the case back to the Federal district
court at Philadelphia, with instruc-
tons to dismiss upon the ground
that the case is moot, since the strike

In answer to a Supreme Court or
