The Tongue
“ But the tongue can no
anan tame ; it is. an unruly
evil, full of deadly poison,”
James 3:8.
~ Almost daily we see the
truth of the above statement
byJames. Men and women go
about spreading evil with
their tongue, Some one hears
what he or she, considers a
juicy morsel of gossip and
they can hardly wait for an
audience to impart it to, with
trimmings of course, for very
few things are told just as
they are heard1. They grow
and grow.lt is little short of
amazing the number of peo-
ple who like to repeat the un-
savory things they hear

about other people. Never
stopping to think that htey

they tell these things on,
even if the things told were
true, which they very often
are not. • 1
Why is it that we love to
tell that which is evil, or
harmful rather than some
goods things we might know
about the person? Surely it
can only be because our own
hearts are evil. Should we not
consider the source of the
things we tell before telling
them? Whose wisdom is back
of these things we tell? “But
if ye have bitter envying and
strife in your hearts, glory
not,and lie not against ^the
truth. This wisdom decend-

earthly, sensual, devilish.”
James 3:14-15.
The power behind the gos-
sip, the slanderer, the tell-
tale is theDevil himself. He is
the instigator of such things
and the one who keeps them
going. Because if he can keep
us thinking about evil things
there will be no time to think
about the things that are
pure and good. How easily so
many fall in with Satan! We
need to think seriously on
some things the Lord said
when He was here on earth.
This should be a warning to
those who like to “peddle
dirt.”
“A good man out of the
good; treasure of the heart
bringeth forth good; things:
and an evil man out of the
evil treasure bringeth forth
evil things. But I say unto
you, That every idle word
that men shall speak, they
shall give account thereof in
day of judgment. For by thy
words thou shall be justified
and bythy words thou shalt
be condemned.” Matt. 12:36-
37.
Words are the most power-
ful weapons we have, either
to do good, or to do evil. lit all
depends upon the kind of
heart we have. To whom we
give allegiance. Ma 'y would
be insulted if told they were
governedby Satan, and yet
their words loudly proclaim
their allegiance to him, even
tho the words were whisper
ed. Rather than have the
kind of tongue pictured by
James in the following verse,
“And the tounge is a fire, a
world of iniquity: so is the
tongue among our members,
that it defiietii the whole
body, and Setteth On fire the
course of nature; and it is set
on fire of hell.” James 3:6.
Let us harken to the Apostle
Paul, “Finally, brethren,
whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are hon-
est, whatsoever things are
just, whatsoever things are
pure, whatsoveer things are
lovely, whatsoevert hings are
of good report; if there be
any virture, and if there be
any praise, think on these
things.” Phil. 4:8. How think
ye? Or do you? W. J. Minick

Two family cars
are better than One!
Over Jj00,000 families own {wo Fords and enjoy all the practical advantages and conveniences of two quality cars
at costs not too much different than those of one expensive car. Yet in feature after feature Ford
duplicates these expensive cars ... as thousands know
who have already joined the 2-Ford family fold.
Just think! ... for the price you pay for just one car of some
makes you can have two 1954 Fords. Whether you choose the
new I-block Six or Y-block V-8, you get the last word in high-
compression, low-friction power. And you get the greatest
advance in chassis design in 20 years—new Ball-Joint Fiont
(Suspension. In Ford you get a new Astra-Dial control panel too,
Center-Fill Fueling, suspended clutch and brake pedals and a
hull-tight Crestmark body, all exclusive with Ford in the low-
prioe field. With this host of fine cor features and many more,
Ford offers you a car that’s worth more when you buy it . . .

brucellosis.
A program was set up to
wipe out brucellosis at a re-
cent Southern Brucellosis
Conference was sponsored by
The Progressive Farmer, a
Southern farm magazine, in
cooperation with the National
Brucellosis Committee , the
Southern Agricultural Wor-
kers Association, and the U<
S. Department of Agricul-
ture.
You may know brucellosis
as Bang’s Disease or conta-
gious abortion in livestock,
and as undulant or Malta
fever in humans. The ninth
most important human dis-
ease, it can mean untold suf-
fering and expense.
“If I could have figured out
a way for my family to foe
taken care of, I would have
killed myself,” one victim
told a Progressive Farmer
editor.
“Many people argue that
brucellosis presents no health
problem because cooking of
meat or pasteurization of the
milk kills the brucella germ”
an article in this farm mag-
azine states.
“However,” it continues,
“they forget that a large
number of people, including
almost every housewife, does
handle meat before it is
cooked. And far too many
people still drink unpasteur-
ized milk.”
To destroy this danger, a
Regional Committee will be
set up to serve as a clear-
ing house for information
and to act as a coordinator
in the brucellosis program.
This committee will collect
and distribute news of the"
program’s progress.
The conference recommend-
ed that each state form a
State Brucellosis Committee
with representatives from all
segments of the livestock in-
dustry and its allied agen-
cies.. Each state committee
will develop a brucellosis
eradication program to cover
three main fields:
1) Needed legislation, 2)
necessary funds, and 3) an
adequate education program.
Among states already at
work is Wisconsin. It has
launched a main brucellosis
control effort by the forma-
tion of a statewide, 28-man
committee composed of dele-
gates from every farm and
livestopk, breed and profes-
sional organization in the
state.
The committee drafted a
program of control and eradi-
cation that has received the
unanimous endorsement of
all groups. Effective legisla-
tion was initiated and sup-
ported.
