When you nay yea. let It bo yea; when you say no. let It' bo not Tell the truth* Your friends and neigh* bora by and by will learn l>ow to value your speech. In the seeond portion of our study Balut James exhorts, "lie not many teachers, my brethren, kuowlug that we shall receive severer testing, for In many things we offend all. if any man otfeud not In word, the same In a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole bod y." j 6 a i n t J a m e w i seems to say tbat, while all Cbris* tians need to bri dle their tongues, those In the more The Bible Un't true? exaited positions ?* are Moker crithn. are all the more liable to error in this respect They have a special gift of speech and another special gift of op portunity to use this speech, and so. ev erting a wide influence, their responsi bility evidently is proportionate. It Is not for us to judge ministers or others; there Is One that Judged : the Lord. We greatly fear, however, that many ministers, as well as Christians in humbler stations, fall to fully appre ciate their responsibilities for every word they utter or have the opportu nity of uttering. Many tell us that for years they preached what they did not believe. Ilow terrible! IIow stultify ing to their inanhood! How serious a reflection upon their brand of Chris tianity!

In our offices, shops, markets, we may send forth either good or evil Influences, far reaching for either hap piness or misery, either upbuilding or down tearing character, either of help fulness or of discouragement Surely no Christian could be Indifferent to tills his most powerful member. Saint James suggests that as a match will kindle a great flre so the tongue might start a great furor, a great commotion, and do much injury. He suggests boasting as being one of the most dangerous uses of the tongue. Our exr perience corroborates this. Boasting often leads us lnjo error and fastens us there because we are not humble enough to acknowledge the fault It often leads into untruth from which we may have difficulty in escaping. It Is an evidence of pride and therefore un-Christllke, Improper. Angry words, bitter words, sarcastic words, taunting words, may set ablaxe the. course of a whole life and Impel ft with angry force toward the Second Death, QcJun na . Hence Saint James suggests that such evil breeding words are like sparks from Gtbmna, tending toward destruction. The only way by which to' have our tongues brought into subjection to the Divine will and made useful as servants of truth and righteousness and love Is by having them con verted. And since the tongue Is but the agent speak ing for the senti ments of the heart, it follows that * it Is the heart that needs Far-rewhtno influmce of bitter uxyrd*. to be converted. The power of true conversion, true transformation of character, so that Mall things become new," Is of God.

It was Carlyle who described sarcasm as be ing "the natural language of the Dev il." It was Faber who wrote, "No one ftas ever corrected by sarcasm; crush ed, perhaps, If the sarcasm was clever enough, but drawn nearer to God, nev er."

REGARDED AS SECOND TILDEN Providont of North Carolina Collogo Outlinoo C?rt?r of Now Jorooy Ex ocutivo and Doolaroa Ho lo the Man Who Will Got tho Most Votoa In tho Right fttatoa. By L. L. H0BB8, Provident of Quilford (N. C.) Collogo. Governor Wilson's c?*er ha* been such us to reveal (tin power* both In tellectual and administrative, and his course as governor of Now Jer sey *?? very difficult position to fill- has |^VU ?o marked by courage and ?Llll t !?.it his fitness for tlio presidency cam** the minds of *he people ull over tin* country with the belief that a second Tilden had arisen. 'llils was uo sudden bursting for* b of bis powers, for the distinguished scholar had risen in uu orderly wuy. step by step, to eminence and fame. He was known to the. world of schol ars as a tnau who expressed and who was expected to express In the clearest possible terms the "bent seutlment and the profoundest philosophy on all prob lems of education and of educational Interest in this countr/. His literary productions in the way of American history and bis work "The State." used as a textbook in many colleges, hove been in a field of learning thdt will be of tho greatest use to him and the country in case he becomes presldeut. Clearness of Uttoranoe. Governor Wilson's Intellectual pene tration Is oot surpassed by any man In public life, and bis power of speech is scarcely equaled lu this couniry. Generally clearness of utterance fol lows cleuruess of perception. The fact thut his work in life has been mainly In educatloual (lelds. so far from be ing a hindrance, as some pretend to think, must necessarily be helpful lh fitting him in the adjustment of means to special ends. As president of a great university and as governor of o groat stato he has had n good field in which to display his executive ability. Moral courage. The, president of our great nation needs to be man of the utmost Integrity of character, a man whose judgment in respect to right and wrong has become keen by a life of uprightness that Is so well known that the people will know that when ho speaks he means what he says. Cleve land is the shining example of this vlr tue Am?rtcan history. Governor Wilson's public and private life leads me to believe he possesses that sterling integrity of character that would bo the greatest possible relief to us In this day/ of vacillation and uncertainty In respect to public utterances. He Is Calm and Thoughtful, At this time, when we behold an as pirant to the office of president who several years ago declared in explicit and unmistakable terms that he would under no circumstances allow himself to be considered a candidate and who today in terms Just as unmistakable announces himself for a third term? at such a time it would be an infinite re lief to have the opportunity of casting a ballot for a man who la calm and thoughtful and who. cannot be moved from the path of simple honesty and Integrity any more than the sun can be turned from its course. Such a man I think Woodrow Wilson to be. I The controlling reason should bp that; all things considered. Governor Wilson will be the strongest candidate the Democrats can name-that Is, the one who will be most likely to win the con test for election. We are not by any, means to conclude that a nomination means an election, and the great prob lem for the Democrats now is to find the man who will get the most votes and get them in the right states. In my judgment Governor Wilson has the beat prospect of success in case of nom ination i6 r the simple reason that he Is well known to be a man of vast capa bilities, both Intellectual and moral. He can be depended upon more than any,, other man in America at this time to say the right thing at the right time and to follow his words by correspond ing action. THE PEOPLE LIKE WOOD ROW.
