Christian Conduct
Letson for -November 2 It?
Dr.
Newton
GHRISTIAN standard of conduct
must be understood as Christ's
standards, not man's standards. Our
lesson makes this quite clear when
James declares,
' My ; brethren, be
not many masters
(Judges), knowing
that we shall " re
ceive ; the greater,
condemnation, "
James 3:1. James
goes on tn this third
chapter to emrfca
size the truth thai
mart is by nature
inclined to . "run
away," even as the
horse when he is
not bridled, or the ship when it is
not controlled. .
Which brings the first practical
- lesson that of the tongue. "The
' . tongue Is a. little member," says
James, "and boasteth great things.
Behold, how great a matter a little
Are kindlethl"

The Words I Say
IN PROVERBS 8:7, we read, "My
mouth should utter truth." And
"again In Proverbs 25:11, we read, "a
i word fitly spoken is like apples of
gold in pictures 6? silver."
Which adds up to this: The words
we say have much to do with what
people think of our standard of
conduct. If we speak words of truth,
-and kindness, we need not be con
cerned what people will think of us.
Boys and girls who guard their
tongues will have friends. Boys
.and girls who speak words of
envy, prejudice and falsehood will
be shunned.
Thi Right Words
"IlfHATls in ourUearts determines
" what we say and do. There
fore, if we are to speak the right
words, our hearts must be right
right with Ond. - ' . '
. I have Just come from a play-
: ground - where a group of Junior
boys and girls were having a picnic.
Z got there at the moment when a
baseball game was in the decisive
ninth inning. One of the Junior boys
was umpire.' He called a pitched
ball, 6 strike, and the batter object
ed.'' Words followed not altogether
plen .ing words. They-saw me stand-
. Ing -iiM the sideline's, and asked me
to r-; tie the matter. I had not seen
- the tched ball closely enough to
exr's an opinion. '
The boy who had spoken most
' sharply went U the boy who was
umpire, took his hand; and said,
,. "If okay with me. I am sorry I
aid what I did.". That bey had
the right attitude. . Up turned
. wrong words Into- right words, be
cause his heart was right ;
",'." -i '"-J': fcv
Tht Powir of Words
'CPEAK not one against another,"
writes James 4:11. Two teen
age girls were walking, 'home from
school. One spoke bitterly to the
Other of a third girl. They parted
at th corner, and the girl who had
spoken the bitter words of her neigh
bor tipped and fell as she passed
the home of the girl about whom
she had been speaking. The neigh
bor girl rushed to her side helped
her into the house where her mother
dressed the ankle Waiting for her
father to come with the can the girl
who bad spoken bitter words began
to cry. Thinking that her neighbor
was -crying . from the pain of the
ankle, the girl who had been bitterly
assailed spoke sympathetically , to
ber neighbor - w
"Will yon forgive met" cried
oat the distressed glrl.
"Forgive yoaT",
'"For the nnkind words I spoke
about yon to Mary. O, I am sor
ry, sorry."
Forgiven, they became trusted
friends. ,
Words Reflect Character
THIS lesson should sutomon every
heart to utter the prayer of the
Psalmist: ?.t
"Let the words of my mouth and
the meditation of my. heart be ac
ceptable in thy sight,, O Lord, my
strength, and my Redeemer,"
Psalm 19:14.
Our words reflect our character
Christ's standard of conduct calls
tor . words wisely chosen. Longfel
low put it well when he wrote:
f shot an arrow info the mr.
It Ml to earth, 1 knew mot where
'for, to swiftly it flew, lb tight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a mag into th air.
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
for who bat sight so keen and strong.
That it can follow the flight of song
Long, long afterward, in an oak,
f found toe arrow still unbroke;
And the song from beginning to end.
f found again in the heart of a friend
