Services are held every night, except Saturday, Our Wordy World Weighed Down by Too Much Talk. BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS. a medical term, and it really does describe a prevalent disease. For it TH‘!,'R,E has lately come into use a big word, “Logorheic.” It sounds like means free-flowing words; a logorheic person is one who talks too much. And wordiness is surely one of the signs of our present world sickness. afflicted with too many words. If to provocative speech, the outlook for From international conferences to back-fence gossip, we are Europe's statesmen were less given peace would be brighter. There seems to be an epidemic of loose talk, in halls of legislation, in all sorts of mgetings and about dinner tables. Every thoughtful observer is sighing for men of deeds and not of words, in public places. We cry, with Carlyle, “A littl more silent, please.” I once attended a ¢ yearly meeting of the Society of Friends, at Fourth and Arch streets, Philadelphia, and all I remember of the proceedings was a plea from Joseph Elkington that there be less speech and more worshipful silence. Radio has heightened our present malady of over-many words. In our Canadian camp radio reception Is especially good, and we hear stations on every part of the continent. One complete turn of the dial gives me the shudders; I hear clamant voices from everywhere, few of them saying any- thing worth while. From tawdry ad- vertising talks to political vitupera- tion, the instrument pours forth a volume of blah that offends the ears of every listener with a shred of good taste. Bible Has a Word for It. Wordiness is no new evil. It was an Athenian vice and a Hebrew sin. Especially within the realm of religion is noted the temptation to talk too much. When we listen to the prayer meeting participants “whose only ability is volubility,” we need not think we are enduring a new evil. Men and women whose vocabulary outran their experience afflicted the early church. They talked mere than they lived. Their religion was a thing of words. Whereas the heart hides deepest what it holds dearest. The most sacred sentiments are not easily spoken in public by sincere persons. The man who is loud in avowing his love for his wife is the one who will bear watching on his nights off James, the brother of Jesus, was a carpenter-shop realist, a practical man, although he was the head of the Jerusalem Church. His Letter, one of the earliest of the Christian epistles, dealt definitely and sternly with the logorheic saints. His word for it was that the tongue “is set on fire of hell.” “If any man stumbleth not in word,” he wrote, “the same is a perfect man ... .The tongue is a restless evil, it is full of deadly poison. ‘Will Carleton wrote: “Boys flying kites haul in their white- winged birds, You can't do that way when you're flying words. Careful with fire—is good advice, we know; Careful with words—is ten doubly so. Thoughts unexpressed may sometimes fall back dead; But God Himself can't kill them when they're said.” Fire Warning. During the past hot, dry Summer the United States and Canada have been afflicted with terrible forest fires, causing many deaths and the loss of millions of dollars. As I traveled about the back country I see innumerable fire warnings; for most great forest fires are caused by somebody's care- lessness, in such small ways as throw- ing a lighted cigarette end out of a car window. “Remember how a mere spark may set a vast forest in flames,” times is the Weymouth translation of the words of James, who dwells on the likeness of the tongue to a fire. Every reader of these lines knows, in his own experience or in that of ac- quaintances, the devastating effect of slanderous words. Thoughtless or ma- licious gossip has ruined the happiness of many a person, many a family and many a community. There are neigh- borhoods where this sort of talk is the staple of conversation. High society is equally guilty with rural villages, if not more so. In Washington's most fashionable hotel I overheard a beaud tifully dressed young woman greet a friend with, “Well, what's the latest dirt?” A contemptible breed of news- paper columnist has developed within a generation whose stock in trade is barbed gossip. We rightly insist upon free speech; but such speech Is too free. On every hand are illustrations to point the preachment of James upon the sin of loose and evil tongues. A few days ago I sat on the bench with Judge Mott of Toronto’s Family Court, Before him was brought a woman, sep- arated from her husband, who hounded the man to every new job and dwelling that he got. She was a virago who could not hold her tongue; she even talked to the judge in such terms that he had to threaten her with a prison cell. The incident brought to mind the countless homes, which God in- tended to be happy, that are wrecked by the tongues of husbands or wives. Converted Tongues. Nobody has ever been soundly con- verted to Christianity whose tongue has not also yielded allegiance to Jesus Christ. How gracious were His words! Myriads of His friends—we pause to call many of them to mind— reveal their discipleship by their gen- tle, kindly, helpful speech. Of the disciple it may be said in praise, “Thy speech betrayeth thee.” In an era of loose, vulgar and profane speech, these believers with baptized tongues are like the shelter of a green tree. Dr. John Watson, the beloved au- thor of “The Bonnie Brier Bush,” wrote a beautiful passage that Miss Tarbell quotes, in exposition of this lesson: “Blessed and honorable is that per- son whose tongue is obedient to the law of Christ, and whose words are as a spring of wholesome water; who never uses scorn except to scourge sin, or satire except to prune folly; who never puts the simple to confusion, nor flatters the great; who says no ill of &ny man except under the last com- pulsion of truth and justice; who de- lights to speak well of every man and bids the cast down to be of good cheer. This man disputes calumnies, lifts shadows, comforts sorrow, establishes righteousness, lays strife to rest, and brings in the Kingdom of God.” ‘The Sunday School Lesson for Octo- ber 17 is “Christian Speech and Con- duct."—James, Chapter iii. -_—_—nNDrD “APPLES OF GOLD” PASTOR’S SUBJECT Dr. Frank Steelman Announces His Topics for Calvary M.
