is the Weymouth translation of the
words of James, who dwells on the
likeness Of the tongue to fire.
Every reader of these lines knows,
in his own experience or in that of ac-
quaintances, the devastating effect Of
slanderous words. Thoughtless or ma
licious gossip has ruined the happiness
OF many a person, many family and
many community. There are neigh
borhoods where this sort of talk is the
staple of conversation. High society
is equally guilty with rural villages, il
not more so. In Washington's most
fashionable hotel I overheard beaul
tifully dressed young woman greet a
friend with, We'll, what's the latest
dirt?" A contemplate breed of news
paper columnist has developed within
generation whose stock in trade is
barbed gossip. We rightly insist upon
free speech; but such speech Is too
free.
On every hand are illustrations to
point the preachment of James upon
the sin Of loose and evil tongues. A
few days ago sat on the bench with
Judge Mott Of Toronto's Family Court.
Before him was brought woman, sep
arated from her husband, who bounded
the man to every new job and dwelling
that he got. She was a virago who
could not hold her tongue; she even
talked to the judge in such terms that
he had to threaten her with a prison
cell. The incident brought to mind
the countless homes, which God in
tended to be happy. that are wrecked
by the tongues of husbands or wives.
Converted Tongues.
Nobody has ever been soundly con-
verted to Christianity whose tongue
has not also yielded allegiance to
Jesus Christ. How gracious were His
words! Myriads of His friends-we
pause to call many of them to mind
reveal their discipleship by their gen.
tie, kindly. helpful speech. OF the
disciple it may be said in praise, "Thy
speech betrayeth thee" In an era of
loose. vulgar and profane speech. these
believers with baptized tongues are
like the shelter Of green tree.
DR.. John Watson, the beloved au-
thor of The Bonnie Brier Bush"
wrote beautiful passage that Miss
Tarbell quotes, in exposition of this
lesson:
Blessed and honorable is that per-
son whose tongue is obedient to the
law OF Christ, and whose words are as
a spring of wholesome water; who
never uses scorn except to scourge sin,
or satire except to prune folly; who
never puts the simple to confusion, nor
fiatters the great; who says no i'll of
any man except under the last COM
pulsion of truth and justice; who de-
lights TO speak well of every man and
bids the cast down to be of good cheer.
This man disputes calumnies, lifts
shadows, comforts sorrow, establishes
Righteousness, lays strife to rest, and
brings in the Kingdom of God"
