| n life. 1t is chastc in thought and
deed. II is clean in heart and life
Il is without dCpreciatinp alloy
and has no admiXture Of error.
Il is like an atmosphere without
n wiSp of fog or fountain with
out spcck of dirt. Who has at
toincd unto it? Yet who would
not attain unto it?
AD Live the life Of peaceable-
ness. There cannot be peaceable
| life without a pcaccablC spirit. No
compromise with evil is here in
voIycd: that would be totally
wrong; but a willingness even TO
suffer wrong in order to magnify
right. Moreover, pcaccabIcnesS is
to be promoted in every way pos
siblc, removing friction. avoiding
discord. and cultiVating goodwill.
90 Live the life of gcntlcness.
If one is gentle, he is courteous
in thought and word and deed.
| That means also that he is for
bearing as to the faults of others.
| And il means further that he Is
so winsomc in what he says and
does that he reaches his aim which
is always high and worthy.
90 Live the life of cOncilia-
ton. Is one easy to be entrcat-
cd?" Then he is accessible to those
who may have offended him; to
those who without deserving it
may seek his counsel and wisdom;
to those who with no ability To
repay may desire his personal aid
in Il difficult situation.
CO Live the life of fruitful
ness. The life of wisdom is over
flowing with mercy and good
fruits" montgomery. The mercy
is abundant and the fruits are
wholesome. Kind words and KIND
deeds are prompted by a KIND
heart. What finer fruit can any
good tree bear?
90 Live the life of impartial
itv. For one thing, that involves
the ability to see the good there
may be in the unlovely and the
bad that is deep-laid in the We
nccrcd moraliSt. Nor must one be
partial TO either rich or poor, the
prominent or obscure, and thus
be rcspecter of persons.
C9) Live the life of sincerity;
Is not the hypocrite a menace ana
marplot and in every way dcSplc--
able in character and conduct
Who cares to copy the wolf IN
wool? Therefore be sincere. BE
straightforward. Wear no mask to
deceive and dcludc. Be your bet
ter self and be true.
QO) Live the life of righteous
ness. Keeping to the point here.
we note that righteousness is the
fruit of the seed that is sown IN
ipcacc by the pcaccmakcrS. 50 we
must be righteous and do right
cously before we can reap right
eousncss. What holier task ana
what richer reward?
GOLD IN THE GOLDEN TEXT
Let no corrupt communication
proceed out Of your mouth
Ephesians 4 20.
ne corrupt loilS"N ~ WV
LAY corrupting: The murmurlng
tongue complains constantly ana
bitterly: the flattcring tongue
that dolcs out sweet poison; the
sacrilegious tongue that peltS and
pollutes holy things; the vulgar
, tongue that traffics in impurlty
and obsccnity; the SoSSlpmg
tongue that tattles and peddlcS
scandal; the cynical tongue that
throws mud and gall at every
thing and everybody, high and
low: the lying tongue that de-
ceivcs, defames, and dcgradeS;
the profanc tongue that besmirch-
cs the good and blasphcmeS God.
Check the tongue and bride It,
Control the tongue and hold it IN
leash. Consecrate the tongue and
use it for God. Cultivate the
tongue and make it a power for
good.
