Discourse
In the Baptist church Sunday night
the pastor. Rev C. U. Rock preach-
ed a most timely subject on
basing his subject on the
Scripture lesson found in the third
chapter of He said there was
enough matter for several sermons
a subject as important as this,
but now he would speak of only a
few of the evil kinds of tongue com-
met with. The profane ton-
the vulgar tongue, the
tongue, the deceitful ton-
and the quarreling tongue, were
the pedal ones pointed out as
much evil.
Then in closing the pastor men-
some of the good uses the ton-
can be put to in blessing man-
kind through speaking cheering words
to those who are cast down He
truthfully said that a rosebud now
and then in life is far better than a
grave covered in flowers, and a kind
word spoken to one in life is far
better than a eulogy after death.
