March 11, 1906. Subject: "The Tongue and the Temper." Matt.

5: 33 48, References James 3: 1 18; Philip plans 3: 12 24; Romans 12: 9 21; 1 John 3: 11 24; 1 Peter 2: 11 25; Jab 2: 1 13; Titus 2: 1 15. A POOBJ USE OP LANGUAGE. Swearing is one of the most popular Bins of the day. If swearing is art evidence of an empty head the idiots are legion. Whatever prtbfane swearing may indicate as to the head, it certainly indicates a depraved heart.

Profanity does no man any good. Christ not only laid down rules for his kingdom, but gave us practical rules for dally Christian living. One of the meanest, lowest things we can do is to swear. No one will believe a man any sooner because he tries to make emphatic what he says by cursing. "There is a vast difference between oaths used in civil courts and the swearing done in common conversation.

God swears by himself as a witness to the truth of what he has revealed. Christ condemns most severely the use of the diVine name wantonly. He would have us put a guard by the door of our lips. The tongue lays bare our character. The one who swears is cowardly, rude and TJfoe swearer reminds me of these little canines who sit on the door mat and bark at passers' by, but will run at a shuffle of your feet or "frighten at their shadow on the walk.

The biggest coward is the one who tries to hide behind the shadow of his own profanity. PROFANE SWEARING FORBIDDEN. Profane swearing is forbidden by Christ. He is here giving us the true spirit of the third commandment. Habitual swearing is profane and is a direct insult to God.

The irreverent use of God's name breeds contempt for divine things. The profane man has no grounds for excuse though he may advance many. He offers such excuses as ignorance, custom, loss of temper, thoughtlessness, meaning no harm. There is no excuse in such wantonness. "The Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in 'Vain." TO SWEAR "BY" GOD'S WORKS IS PROFANITY.

To swear by the works of God is profanity. The ancients taught that it was not profanity to swear by heaven and earth, for as heaven and earth would pass away, so would their oaths pass away. Pretty shallow reasoning this, but it is a sample of much of the shallowness today. Christ teaches 'us that swearing by heaven is wrong, for it is God's theme. Swearing by the earth is sin because it is God's footstool.

Swearing by the holy city is sin, for it is the place toward which men turn their faces in prayer. To swear by the earthly Jerusalem would be to defame its temple and its sacred Swearing by the head is sin for man cannoi cunirui me uic ui much less indeed the color of a hair upon it. To call to witness any of God's works is really calling upon God. We should always remember that we are not bidden to say something, but the right thing. You can't force a man, who does not want to sell, on to the market with his property, neither are you forced to speak anything but the truth.

We have a court of appeal, the Judgment to which we can refer all things before we speak them. YOUR WORD YOUR BOND. When a man's word is his bond, when his word is the whole truth, he does not have to enforce it with pro. fanity. Profanity always weakens rather than strengthens an argument.

You may know that the man who has to carry around a stock of swear words with him, to be used in. every transaction, has a screw loose some where. A cash register always tells the amount of the cash purchase, so indeed a man's lips always tell registry of his heart. As a man thlnketh in his heart, so is he. BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU "LET OUT." Have you ever heard people say that 5t was good to "let out" some times.

When the engine is worictng ithe boiler seldom "blows off" steam. It is only the lazy people who have time to "let off" or "let out." When you are ready to "let out" you are never at your best. The weakest moment is the moment that the explosion comes. People, there are, who would give a fortune, could they but recall things they have said in heated moments. If you would not go to a place where you would like to be found dead, so it is a good rule not to say anything that you would not say on your death bed.

"This nor hurts him, nor profits you a Jot. Forbear It, therefore; give your cause to Heaven. You have learned to adjust yourself to the Ill humor of others. THE LAW OF RETALIATION. Christ's low Is opposed to any human law of retaliation.

Christ's love supplants any "get even" policy of man. The Christian has learned among many things to forgive his enemies. Christ does not mean that we are not MEiCUi to avoid evil, or with certain limitations not resist for our own security and the' security of others, but the law of love is a hlarher than the law of retaliation. The duty oi rorgivenness such as Christ imposes forbids the excess nr ohnin nf unt. ment.

Did you ever pray for those you possiDje 'mat an tne prayers you ever offered for your enemies could be written on your thumb nail. It Is a pretty hard thing to forgive a sneaking enemy, but the Christian can do it. Love is thei marrow of the gospel of Christ CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR, Bnptiat Young People and Epworth League. March 11, 1906. Topic: "James' Picture of a Perfect Man; How Can We Realize it in Ourselves?" Matt.

5: 48; James 3: 1 18. References 5: 21 24; 1 Sam. 13: 11 Ps. 37: 27 37; Eph; 4: 1 16; Col. 4: 1 18; Heb.

13: 16 21. WE ALL HAVE FAULTS. We all' have our faults. There is none perfect, no, not one. One difference betewen a good man and a bad man is the good man will confess and leave his faults; the bad man will, only excuse himself and cling to them.

Judged by human standards some men seem to be perfect, but when tested by divine law they are most flenant. There is human nature in all of us. All of us are tarred with the same stick. Eden's transaction included us. The mason tries the wall he is building by the plumb; If it is not perpendicular he takes it down.

The carpenter tries the board by the square; If it be not so, he makes it square. When we are tried by the word of God and stand by the character of Christ, we see our imperfection and the truth of the word, "There is none that doeth good, no, not one." THE TONGUE A FIRE. Fire is a dangerous plaything. So indeed the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. All the evil influences which the tongue sets in motion, says the sacred writer, have their origin in hell.

The tongue, according to this same authority, is more ferocious than any wild beast on earth. As impossible as it would be to make a boa constrictor love one, even so Impossible is it to tame the tongue, for the tongue can no man tame. The horse, the dog, the elephant, the' lion, the hyena may in a greater or less degree be domesticated, but the tongue is hard to domesticate; it is fiercer than the most ferocious beast. This little member, the tongue, shows the depth to which human nature has fallen. TONGUE SINS.

St; James enumerates a few of the tongue sins. As many things are contained in the world, so indeed many sins are contained in the tongue. There is the tattling tongue, the slander tongue, the scolding tongue, the complaining! tongue, the lying tongue, the filthy tongue, the boasting tongue, the flattering tongue, the tongue of pro tanity. With what care we should use an instrument that is capable of causing so much trouble." How can we re alize the perfect man in ourselves? Let the Psalmist answer: "Set a watch. Lord, before my Keep the door of my must.

seek to get our awns right with God. We seek divine grace to aso ut ng in sub duing ahd controlling the tongue' A. TIME TO SPEAK. There is a time to keep silence and a time to' speak. Undue silence, when one should speak for God Is as Baa as sinful speaking.

Our tongues may be our glory or our shame. There is a silence which is unjust to God and which leaves a sting in our conscience. The tongue that is mute in matters of religion is an evil tongue. Most of the troubles in this world are brought about by hasty words. The man who has learned to hold his tongue," has the world at his feet.

The great end for which the human tongue exists is blessing and praising God. As a fountain may send out either pure or bad water, so indeed the tongue. But as a fountain cannot send out pure water and bad1 water at the same time, neither can the tongue. It must be praises or curses. RANDOM REFLECTIONS.

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BAR. A gentleman of my acquaintance, given to the excessive use of strong drink, recently gave up the habit that was hurrying him to destruction, and has become a most temperate man. Noticing the change that had come over the man and his family within the past five months, I ventured to ask him what had led him to give up the habit. His answer is a good argument against the rum seller. Said he, "it was my custom in going to eny work every morning and coming home from my work in the evening to drop some money over the counter for drinks.

I had been doing this for years, out seldom saw the proprietor, as he was asleep when I called at his place In the jnornlng, and at his meal.when I came in the One day I met lm behind the bar, his clerk having suddenly been taken 111. In his cravat I noticed a magnificent diamond pin. As he handed me the glass over the bar I noticed a costly diamond pin on his finger. From his watch chain hung a charm that sparkled with diamonds 'How is I asked, that you can wear such expensive diamonds and I can said the saloon keeper. 'you are on the other side of the bar.

It makes all the difference In the world on what side of the bar a man may be. The man who goes Into a saloon never gets on the side of the bar where the money Is made. The man who buys drinks is on the wrong side of the bar. The man who. spends his money for jM8 WRECKS LJ NOT CURES Thousands who have had their health, ruined by Mercury testify that it makes wrecks instead of cures in the treatment of Contagious Blood Poison.

v. ft Stnrcps. nrestdent of the Mu loae np. who has returned from a conference of the Civic Federation in New York, yesterday morning de nied the rumor that the league was going out of business because Mr. Dlmmick had been elected.

He also denied that Agent Robert Wilson had any intention of resigning. It is the belief of Mr. Sturges that the league will not experience so much difficulty in securing tne emorcemem of the law when Mr. Dimmlck enters th duties of his office. Speaking of the allegation previous to election that if Mr.

Dimmlck is mayor Biurges will be czar, he said that he knows nothing of the Intentions of Mr. Dimmlck. He has no knowledge of what the make up of the new mayor's cabinet will be. It gave the Municipal league pleasure to note the election of Mr. Dimmlck, although the league officially did not support him.

Whatever was done in that line was done by the members as private individuals. The city may look for an active crusade on the part of the league as soon as the new mayor is seated.
