These two men rush on toward the
temple. They come to the outskirts
of a great throng. There the multi-

jostling their neighbors and trying
to ge), near to the speaker. Sudden-
ly the cry is raised '1ilake way, make

surges to the right and to the left.
Every head uncovers. The murmur
of many voieeS is hushed to the sil-

Hardly had the noise of the shuf-

No one anssvers. They pretend they

''Then fell she down straightway at

conscientiously trying, to live up to

A Spa ESTION.
Thus, my friends, the whole trend
of this sermon is to prove that every
word We utter, whether truo or
false, that word (dial] nevee die. It
shall at last meet us at the judg-
ment eeat ol God and make us ex-
plain why sve ever let it come forth
from our lips. It is to prove that
God does not have one language for
the weekday and another for Sun-
day, The Bible distinctly and em-
phatically 8tatefi that Christians
must come forth out of the sinful
world ancl separate themselves from
it. In 210 way can this be done bet-
ter than by speaking tho Christian
language of stinightforward truth.
Aro we ready to speak that truth
Wherever it may be found?
But there is just one little sugges-
tion I would like to make before
close. Remember, a lie is not al-
ways told with the lips. 11, can also
be spoken by the hand and the foot.
The last words my lather ever
W1'010 in his litudy were these, "The
Language of Action." They were to
be tho caption of the next sermon
ho intended to write. Beware, oh,
man, that whon you attempt to
speak in this "language of action"
you shall not oely have an honest
tongue, but a truthful hand -and a
truthful mile, a truthful shrug of
the shoulders, n truthful foot and
oleo, very imperatively, a truthful
silence. There is a Hine to speak.
There is also a time to keep still,
But if a man keeps still when he
ought to speak then silence itself
may speak in the tbundeeone tones
of the loudest affirmativiks or, of the
loudeet Negatives. Let your life in
all its parts be "yen, yea," and
"nay, may." Some insects have a
thousand eyes. The human being by
the "language of action" may have
a. ihounand tongues. These worehip
either at the altar of tvuth or at
the entente shrine of endless falsi-
ties.
