Design means a lot in jewelry. No matter how heavy or
rich looking the gold unless it has artistic appearance it
looks common and vulgar.
We have made a special selection of solid

Then the proverbial bag of gold

the premiums payable, on fire in

it's almost a Joke? One can in

about enough to buy a pair of
shoes. It's a crime then not to

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

reflection upon their brand of Chris
tianity!

Influences, far reaching for either hap

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

to be converted. The power of true
conversion, true transformation of
character, so that Mall things become
new," Is of God.
The child of God, begotten of the
Holy Spirit, has an assistance in the
mastering and taming of his tongue

Carlyle who described sarcasm as be

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.
