THE TONGUE.

"God made the tongue, and, since He never made anything in vain, we may be sure He made it for some good purpose. What is its good purpose?" said a teacher one day.

"He made it that we may pray with it," answered one boy.

"To sing with," said another.

"To talk with people," said a third.

"To recite our lessons with," replied another.

"Yes, and I will tell you what He did not make it for. He did not make it to scold with, to lie with, or to swear with. He did not mean that we should say unkind or foolish or impatient words with it. Now, think every time you use your tongues if you are using them in the way which pleases God." —Selected.
