The Church And
The Community
BY REV. jobs. KNUDSEN

The greatest gift that man pos
sesses is the power of the word. 1t
is his greatest means of achievement
and of service. But as it is true
of mans condition that forces of
evil are constantly usurping the
means and the mien of the good
forces, so is it true that nothing is
misused to greater degree than the
word. No tool can do more harm
for an evil purpose than can the
human tongue.
A word of kindness is a great bless
ing An unkind word can do ire
mendous damage. The fire is one of
our greatest of servants, but even a
flicker of flame in the wrong place
can result in a catastrophe. Few
things spread more rapidly than a
well-nourished fire, but a vicious
rumor runs it a close race. Both can
be intensely destructive.
AS the unintentional fire is hardly
less destructive than the incendiary,
igin of an evil rumor. No one can
wash his hands free of guilt, if he
has dropped the match that started
the fire, land he who has helped it
along or failed to stop it is sharing
of the guilt. Only he is guiltless who
carefully has followed the old rule
when tempted to repeat a hearsay:
Is it true, is it necessary, is it kind?
Behind the word stands the per-
son and our words are given char
acter by our attitudes. A dishonest
word reflects a dishonest person even
as a kind word grows out of the
kindness of the soul. Our words to
others and our words about others
therefore show what we are, and the
control of words may mean the con-
scious control of emotions and atti-
tudes. If we bear false witness about
our neighbor, we are mean and dis
honest, but if we can speak word
of truth and kindness, we advance
ourselves a step in the right direc-
ton. Therefore, for the well-being
of others and for the good of our
own soul we should listen to the
ancient commandment: ''Thou shalt
not bear false witness against thy
neighbor."
