The itnooTtance Of controlling the tougr (vs, 1, 2). 3. Be not many masters- 'Be not many ef you teacliers."-R. V. The office of a teacher was considered a very import- ant one in the early Christiao Church (Acts 13. 1.; Eph. 4. 11). The caution of this verse is againet those persona eu. tering that office whn were never call- ed, ana who knew nothing of this way of oelvation themselves. There were each ielividuals in the days of the apostle (1 Tim. 1. 6, '7; 0. 3-6; aleb. 5. 12). Shall receive -heavier judgment (R. V.) -Those teachers who abuse ,the office will receive greater condemnation thee mere hearers, Those occupying a high position in the church are apt to be more severely criticized thau those hold- ing an inferior office. The purpose o f James was to repress those who deligbt. ed in talking rather than acting. 2. We offend all stumble." -B. V. The IL V. ii intioh clearer, This does not mean that Christian teachers offend ev- erybody, but that they aro fallible and are often mistaken in their interpretas tions of certain truths and do not use correct words to express their thoughts. This is true of the holiest and wisest. Offend not in word -This liability is very great in every one, but it is es- pecially great in an office where the very businco is .public -speaking. The same is a perfect man -A full-grown, symmetrical man. "One who has attain- ed to a high degree of wisdom and grace." The man who advaaces. no false doctrine, but is thoroughly instructed in divine things, is a perfect teacher, and worthy of the sacred calling. Thus applied to teaching, rather than to char- acter, "the perfect man" here is dis- tinguished. front the one dementedin Jas. 1, 4; Eph. 4. 13; Col. 1. 28. To bridle the whole body -The one who has the wisdom and moral power -which en- ables him to control his tongue will be likely to be able lee control all the oth- er members of his body. "Control of speech is named, not as in itself con- stituting perfection, but as a crucial test hulicating whether the man has or has not attained unto it,..The 'whole body' is used to sum up the aggregate of all tho temptations which come to us througb the avenues of sense." -Cam. Bib. II. The power of the tongue (vs. 3-5). James now gives two illustrations show - lug the power of the tongue. 3. We put bits -A. horse's bit is a ranall thing, yet by ie the animal is controlled; the tongue is it small member,' but the one who loses control over it loses control over himself. 4. Behold also the ships_ The rudder which determilaa the 'ship's course is very small. 5. Even so -The • force of the illustrations is that al- though the. tongue is a "little member" yet it is able to accomalish great things. As with a small bit a large horse is controlled and by means of a small helm a great ship is governed, so the tosue, though smell, is capable of do- ing great things, and should be under peeled control. Boasteth-The tonne is conscious of the power wide& it pos- sesses and makes great claims for it- self, How great a matter -See R. V. Lit- erally, "how great forest." Great con- flagrations are caused by what in the beginning was a mere spark.. III. The dathage caused by an uncon- trolled tongue (vs. 6-8). Two illustra. tions are here used to show the evil ef- fects of it• tongue uncontrolled. 6. The tongue is a fiee-sLike a fire it causes devastation and ruin; it is a destruc- tive agent. "It is the instrument pro- ducing the most desperate contentums and insurrections." --Clarke. a world of iniquity -A whole brood of sins lurks in the untamed tongue. "A little world of evil in itself. It is meant that all kinds of evil that are in the world are exhibited there in miniature; it seems. to concentrate all sorts of iniquity that exist on the earth. And what evil is there which 'may not be originated or fomented by the tongue?": ---Barnes. "The amount of iniquity is vast, the kinds of iniquity innumerable, as, for instance, blasphemy, lying, profanity, scandal, slander, scolding, backbiting, flattery, obscenity, anger, boasting, mur- muring, dishonesty, cruelty, error, sus- picion." (lenient the whole body -What the tongue talks about the body is very apt to engage in. Where there is a filthy tongue there will be a filthy body. "It utters evil thoughts and passions, and by littering increases them and en- larges their power of evil." setteth on fire the course of nature -Or "the wheel of nature." -R, V. There are a variety of opinions as to the meaning of these words. One is that they refer to the "cycle of creation," and aro equivalent to our phrase "setting the whole world on fire." Ahother is that reference is that made to "the whole of life from that "from the beginning of life to its elose, the tongue is an ever;pres- ent inflammatory element of evil.' But better than these is the suggestion that James refers to our bodily and passional appetites. The uncontrolled tongue that is "a word of iniquity," causing trouble among our members and, d.efiling the whole body, "Batten on fire," inflames, ral the natural 'functions of thi body and leads to sensuality, drunkenness • and every form of vice. It inflicts serious in- jury tie man's entire being. is set on fire of hell -Ts set on fire of Gehenna. The Greek whrd Gehenna primarily sig- nified the Valley of Hinnom. This val- ley WAS situated south of Jerusalem and was the place where criminals were ex- ecuted and burned, and where the filth of the eity was Consumed. Continual fires were kept burning. This place came to be a symbol of the place of tor - mot as Jerusalem was a type of heaven, What James intends to say is that the *ety spirit that prevails in the regions of hte lost inspires the evil tongue, lead- ing to unkind, angry and vile words and to falsehoods, slanders, calumnies, etc, 7. every kind, ...is tamed -Every spe- cies of wild beasts has been brought under man's power and dominion. 8. but the tongue eari no man tallle-110 .Callflat do this, though he can do all else.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS. A Powerful Member. Physicians examlue the tongue first, It is the index of the tone of the sys- tem. So James tells us we may judge of soul-bealth by the -Wilms°. If any inan "offend not in word," his moral health is "perfect" tv, 2e. If any man seems religious, and bridles not his tongue, that man it soul -sick (Jae, 1: 26). Peter gives a similar thought; "He that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile" (1 Pet. 3:10). Here are four illustrations of the power of that little member: I. Bite. algae fre.gments of iron will hold in eubjeceion the ppwerfel 'vest which otherwise would destroy. He wao can rightly govern his tongue can con- trol his whole body. If the tongoe clot be held from expressing. evil thoughts, the Holy Spirit will find earier Recess into that heart, and enable that person to seek the purifying of his heart. When the words have gone forth, they impress and influence others; besides, it is harder for the one who uttered them to recall them, or at least confess the sin of using them, and puts him in a state where he is less likely to repent, but rather puts him in a position where he is pressed to say more. IL Helm of a ;hip. small thing, but controlling in the fierce winds, that which is a thousand times its bulk. A helm is a small part of a ship. The tongue is a small member of the body. By the right use of the tongue an evil conversion may be turned asideee and good things spoken in place of evil.- "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver" (Prov. 25; 11). Fierce storms of gossip may rage against us, but by a meek and quiet spirit, and a bridled tongue, we may rise superior to all, and at God's own time be vindi- cated and our true merit shown. Three meg were in company with each other. One asked another the time of day. He replied, but the third man decldred that his watch must be wrong by ten min- utes, for his own watch differed that much. Rather than dispute, the first man put his watch in his pocket and said nothing, even though hp koew his watch gave correct time, fpr he heel jest returned from setting it by the ream!. lator. He would not encoorege le dis- pute, but prevented one by slicneg. Ill. Fire. The earliest Bible reference to the Inost destructive of elements ,is to that of fire from the Lord upon the aides of Sodom sand Gomorrah (Qen. 10: 24). A spark will start it flew that will consmne a city. Some fifty yenrs ago a gang of Belgian miners, angry with another sea of underground work- ers, set a mass of coal on fire to smoke uut their comrades. How well they suc- ceeded let the record of half a century tell. Years have passed away; a gen- eration has faded; the angry passion of those who sought revenge has become a thing of the past; but the fire started long ago blazes on, and no earthly skill as yet found the way to extinguish it. IV. Tamed beasts, birds and serpents. A little girl, sent to the country to spend the summer, was given a large, airy gar, ret for a sleeping room. In it was a great many wasps. The child was so quiet and gentle and kind to them that they grew very friendly and tome, and she was not once stung by them. A little playmate, who was visiting her, one•day struck at them and was stung. Then the little girl who was fond of the wasps spoke sharply to her play- mate. The Christian lady downstairs heard her. "How is it," she said, softly Lo her, "that you can tame the wasps and not control your temper?" "I do not know," said the child. God can tame the temper and tongue. A. C. M. ARRESTED AT QUEBEC.

May 31. -Chancellor Von Due - low in Ins avowed daterMination to con- quer the financial difficulty seems to be up against a stone wall. The National Liberal, Radical and bocialist members of the Reichstag Finance Committee to- day refused to take further part in the discussions of the new taxation propo- sals. This action was taken as it pre- test Against what they describe as an attempt to terrorize the minority. The incident has revived the predictions of the Chancellor's defeat, and the dissolu- tion of the Reichstag. The newspapers and public are get- ting very impatient with the chaotic osition, which is seriously hampering trade. A, majority of the committee to- day passed the Conservatives' proposals quadrupling the tea duties and imposing a tax of 1 1-2e pfennigs on every sixty wooden matches, and five pfennigs on every twenty wax matches. 1 • MUST TAKE CANADA Some Sage Advice to the United States Congress. New York, May 31.-A despitteh to the Tribune from Washington says: Speaker Cannon and the Hoose of Representatives received a solemn notification from Portland, Ore., toelay that Canada mat be taken by the Unit- ed States. This notification came in the form ,of a letter signed by a tax- payer and a citizen, and created no little amusement in ' the Speaker's office, where Mr. Busbeydeciphered the red ink spots. The text of the letter follows: 'To the past, present and future Con- gresses of the 'United States: "Cientlemen: Youse are all hereby no- tified what is going to happen if you do not take Canada by .foree of arms and put a continental ting in the stars and stripes. .Yon will be men and cheer- ed by the whole world. you -do vet war will go on under the preeent flag until slavery exists again. The W'ty it can be done is to take fifty battleships and shoot inland and smash the Quoin] of Ottawa. Drive the English fleet off the seas never to rise again... Scareely anything can live w.here a lion roves, The rules is that any human being haS ft right to shoot him until he 13 dead. Do not be cowards." "HE'S CHOKING ME." The Last Words of Mrs, Harrison, of Halifax. Halifax despatch: Lying deadat the rooms of the undertaker is the body of Mrs. johanna Harrison, while in the police station Percy Wallidge is under detention, and May face a charge of Inttrder in connection with the affair. At present there is a toys - tory as to whether the woman was choked to death by Wallidge, or died from fright and a weak heart. Sever- al physicians who made a superficial examination of the body incline to the latter theory. Late to -night Mrs. Harrison, in com- pany with her sister, //Liss Comfort, left the Argyle street entrance to the Nova, Sotia Furnishing Company's building, where they had been work- ing. As they came out of the door Wallidge staggered along the street under the inquence of liquor a.nd fell in the doorway. Miss Comfort went across the street to get some person to remove him, leaving her sister on the sidewalk. With three young men she came back in a moment or so, and found her sister in the door in the grasp of %Ridge. They dragged him off. "He's elieking me," eadalmod the prostrate woman, and then sank back. Those were the last words she spoke. Wallidge wan tat Mice arrested, but made ne etatentent. There were marks on the aide of the woman's neck, and her fade was cut, the lat- ter injury being received by falling. • • Money tins, but to mete of us it Wins to speak in a foreign tongue. .
