THE TONGUE.

By Jos. Clarke

“The tongue can no man tame.” Jas. 3:8.
If there is anything that will cure a person of backbiting, it is suffering personal injury from this cause. If in your efforts to be useful you find your best endeavors neutralized by this thing, and friends estranged, and enemies and strangers prejudiced, and your work frustrated, and your precious time lost, by evil reports, and those reports set in motion by friends whom you love, who have not spoken a word to your discredit, as they think, but only spoken lightly, you will not wish to use your own in this way, never, no never; and you will regret that you ever spoke lightly of any one. JOS. CLARKE.
