THE SAVIOR'S TEACHINGS BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIBLE STUDIES

TRUTHFUL WORDS POLITE SPEECH. Matthew v, 33-37; James iii, 1*12; v,-12. May 26. < “Putting away falsehood, speak every man truth with his neighbor, for tee are members one of another."—Ephesians io, 15. IN today's study we note the contrast between Christ’s teachings and those of the religionists of His day. Others attempted to limit the habit of swearing, but the Great Teacher said, “Swear not at all.” How foolish Is swearing of every’ kind! We are not, of course, objecting to solemn affirmation or legal swearing as required by law. Note the injunction of the Master. “Let your speech be yea, yea, nay, nay"—anything further implies evil. The Master’s meaning evidently is. When you say yes, let It be yea; when you say no, let It be no! Tell the truth! Your friends and neighbors by and by will learn how to value your sj»eech. In the second portion of our study Saint James exhorts, “Be not many teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive severer testing. For

in many things we offend all. If any man offend not In word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.” Saint James seems to say that, while all Christians need to bridle their tongues, those In the more exalted positions

are all the more liable to error In this respect. They have a special gift of speech and another special gift of opportunity to use this speech, and so, exerting a wide Influence, their responsibility evidently Is proportionate. It is not for us to judge ministers or others; there is One that judgeth: the Lord. We greatly fear, however, that mgny ministers, as well as Christians In humbler stations, fall to fully appreciate their responsibilities for every word they utter or have the opportunity of uttering. Many tell us that for years they preached what they did not believe. How terrible! How stultifying to their manhood! How serious a reflection upon their brand of Christianity!

A Little Match Starts a Big Fire. Saint James gives some forceful illustrations. Christians should put a bridle of restraint into their own mouths even as they put them into the mouths of their horses, . Not all of us have such wide opportunities for good or evil, but in our homes, in our offices, shops, markets, we may send forth either good or evil influences, far reaching for either happiness or misery, either upbuilding or down tearing character, either of helpfulness or of discouragement. Surely no Christian could be Indifferent to this his most powerful member. Saint James suggests |:hat as a match will kindle a great fire so the tongue might start a great furor, a great commotion, and do much Injury. lie suggests boasting as being one of the most dangerous uses of the tongue. Our experience corroborates this. Boasting often leads us Into error and fastens us there because we are not humble enough to acknowledge the fault It often leads Into untruth from which we may have difficulty in escaping. It is an evidence of pride and therefore un-Christlike, Improper. Angry words, bitter words, sarcastic words, taunting words, may set ablaze the course of a whole life and impel it with angry force toward the Second Death, Gehenna. Hence Saint James suggests that such evil breeding words are like sparks from Gehenna, tending toward destruction. The only way by which to have our tongues brought Into subjection to the

for -reaching influence

to be converted. The power of true conversion, true transformation of character, so that “all t things become new,” is of God. The child of God, begotten of the Holy Spirit, has an assistance In the mastering and taming of his tongue that the unregenerate have not. How important then the message, “My son, give Me thine heart.” Out of the heart are the issues of life. " Praising God—lnjuring Men. We may know that God will reject the prayers and worship coming from a heart full of bitterness, anger, malice, hatred, envy, strife, and manifesting itself In acrimonious speech. It was Carlyle who described sarcasm as being “the natural language of the Devil-” It was FaAer who wrote, “No one was ever corrected by sarcasm; crushed, perhaps, if the sarcasm was clever enough, but drawn nearer to God, never." Robertson wrote: “Love Is the remedy for slander.” Surely the Golden Rule needs to be applied to our speech as well as to our actions.

The Bible isn’t trueue are higher critics.

Divine will and made useful as servants of truth and righteousness and love Is by having them converted. And since the tongue Is but the agent speaking for the sentimen t s of the heart, it follows that It Is the heart that needs

Ten Thousand People i I lie time and place to buy land is when and w here tuuue. I is not too much to'expect 10..mj0 people to move into the SWIGART TRACT within the next 5 years. This increase will bring many thou-and more acres under cultivation and \yill cause extensive building operations, growth of business gnd create a demand .01 labor and homes. It i's already well started. Much more capital is sure to be enlisted in this district, where on all hands we have the splendid assurance and the. actual evidence of solid and sieadtat-t growth. The tract offers exceptional attractions for land seekers. The security here is unquestioned.

ESTABLISH YOURSELF financially by owning a piece of land here. In the security of this dis-, tricfs growth you are in partnership with every improvement and every rise in land values. Can you muster up a little courage and confidence? They are necessary in every undertaking. Success and wealth are for the far-sighted man who acts in the present—-not for him who makes the blunder of delaying because of excessive caution. INVESTMENT IN GOOD LAND anywhere 'is, in this day and age, most akin to banking. Don't wait just for the few years until America’s surplus population will be driven in great armies to the land. The highest flour and milling authbrity says: "The problem of giving the masses broad is becoming the question of the hour; beside it all others art* insignificant." Trust issues and graft scandals and labor strikes will colve themselves, but the question of bread supply confronts every man ami points to the necessity of cultivating every foot of ground possible. IT IS COMMON SENSE that a tract of land peculiarly blessed with the advantages of an even, healthful climate, productivity of soil, remarkable diversity of crops, wonderful supply of purest water. Great Lakes harbors, a network of railroads—a gently rolling, well drained, ideal country—right here under the very shadow of Chicago—will not wait long until settlers are making wealth in tilling every acre of its warm, responsive soil. That’s the exact description of the SWIGART TRACT, only 170 miles from Chicago, and it is the largest and best located tract of lands In the market within a radius of 500 miles of Chicago.

THIS TRACT OFFERS you your pick from over a THOUSAND 40A.CRE FARMS and many larger and smaller ones of the finest clover, fruit and general farming land in Michigan, and right in the center and best part of her famous Fruit Belt. It lies in Mason, Manistee and Lake Counties and is surrounded with a well settled up district that embraces many prospering towns that are excellent market's, including Ludington and Manistee, whose combined population is over 30,000 people. $lO per month with a down payment of $lO to SSO buys a 40-acre farm in the SWIGART TRACT. This gives a man of limited means the chance to' get a farm home in Michigan

that in Illinois is for the rich man alone. ’> THAT THE MECCA FOR MICHIGAN HOMESEEKERS is the SWIGART TRACT is shown by people going there in large numbers that SPECIAL PULLMAN CARS are necessary to take care of them. They have learned that conditions are right in this tract. The proposition is popular la'cause it meets the needs of the people. It is liberal and broad. The installment plan of acquiring land is endorsed by leading business men everywhere. It is better than waiting until you can save up the cash, only to find that the prices have gone beyond you A provision in my con tract that is appreciated by every careful man is that if you should die the farm will be deeded to your family free from any further payments. COME AND SEE the new ground that is being broken, the fields of the settlers who are already well started, the many new schools, churches, new towns and new roads and many new farmhouses being .built. Here are possibilities and opportunities for you. On the trip you will find many men who have determined to buy land and provide for their future and no longer trust to luck. They will tell you they are following their friends ami relatives who have already bought in the SWIGART TRACT. They are mostly farmers from Illinois, Indiana and lowa, and they cannot get land except at prohibitive prices in their state and that they are going to the SWIG ART TRACT, where they can buy land for oqe-tenth of what it costs back home, and land that produces just as many dollars in crops, acre for acre.
