Uncle Tobey’s Lcctunc
On Tounges.
From IIomk And Farm.
My friends from the appearance
of this floor, there must have been
another political meeting held in
the house since my last lecture. 1
want to call your attention to the
fact that most of the stuff you see
on the floor has been in the mouths
of men who think they are trying
to save the country. They are
the only kind of animals that
would have such stuff in their
mouths. Brothers Alston and
Nelson will please open the win
dows and poison some of the air
on the outside. After services
some one will got a scoop shovel
and clean the floor.
Now, if the eongregration is
ready for the trouble to begin 1
will commence my lecture on ton
gues.
My friends, there are a great
many different kinds of tongues in
this world, but the tongues 1 want
to talk about are the ones you car
ry about in your heads.
All things considered, the ton
gue is about the "slickest’’ thing
that ever came from the workshop
of the Creator.
It is nearly always engaged in |
getting some one into trouble or!
getting some one out of trouble.
It was the devil's tongue that i
caused old Mother Kve to cat the
forbidden fruit, and her children
have been eating it ever since. It
was Adam's tongue that told on
her.
The tongue is a wonderful in
strument for good or Cvi!- apd it1
^8 good or evil MS tbv Iif-art wills*!
The ^Scriptures tell its that "of the
abundance of the heart the mouth
Kpeaketh.’’ That is. ii the heart
abounds in good thoughts the ton
gue gives utterance to them.
Someone, l think it was Sun
.Jones, has said "that, there are
more pe >ple tongue damned than
any other way.”
Your Uncle T obey has ambled
along life's trail until the shad
ows are cast belore him, and ta1
honestly believes that more strife, 1
and misery and sorrow are caused
by unruly and wicked tongue*
than all other tilings put together. '

Wine of Cardui
Cured Her.
213 South Prior Stn* t,
Atlanta, Ga., March 21,1003.
I suffered for four months with
extreme nervousness and lassitude,
I had a sinking feeling in my
stomach which no medicine seemed
to relieve, and losing my appetite
I became weak and lost my vital
ity. In three weeks I lost fourteen
pounds of flesh and felt that 1 must
find speedy relief to regain my |
health. Having heard Wine of
Cardui praised by several of my
friends, I sent for a bottle and was
certainly very pleased with the
results. Within three days my
appetite returned and my stomach
troubled me no more. I could
digest my food without difficulty
and the nervousness gradually
diminished. Nature performed
her functions without difficulty
and 1 am once more a happy and
well woman.

faults than our own, and the ton
I gue is so ready to speak of them
that many a heartache is caused
where none was intended to he in
flicted.
I
Life’s pathway is not one of
ease, filled with flowers and song
of birds. To the best of us come
dark hours. Often our feet are
weary and our flesh pierced with
thorns. Often our tempers are
sorely tried. It is in such times
we often say things that hurt;
things that cut iike a. two-edged
sword. And we often inflict
wounds that are not healed over in
this life.
Oh, the heart pangs that are
caused by evil tongues! What
loads of sorrow have been heaped
upon struggling souls? How
many names have been tarnished
by a mere whisper; a whisper that
was caught up by other evil ton
gues and spread as the flame-tailed
foxes of Philistia scattered fire
among the golden fields of grain.
It was the devil’s tongue that
started the world on itsdownwaad
course, and the tongue of the
slanderer is the devil's most effect
ive instrument. Your Uncle Tob
ey has seen so much strife and
contention caused by evil tongues
that he wants to talk plain on the
subject. What would you think
of a person who, would, on every 1
occasion possible, point out some
physical defect of his neighbor?
The loss of an eye, an eating can
cer or any other defgct of the kind?
Yet suefi an act would be more
honorable than to slander him be
hind his back. Talking slander is
not only cowardly, but it is con*
temtible.
One reason some people talk so
mnch about their neighbors is be
cause they have nothing else in
their heads to talk about. They
read no papers or magazines.
They have no useful knowledge
to impart to any one. Their world
is circumscribed by the boundaries
of their own neighborhood. Not!
having anything else to think
about, they are always poking
their noses into the business of
their neighbors. They thirst for
something sensational. They
gloat over the fall of virtue, and
go from house to house relating
the detail? <_>!' scandal. '1'hey
smack their li|>- over tile 1110ft dis
ousting incidents* arid toll them
under her tongue as a girl does
her chewing gum. Many of these
gossips could not tell you the
name of the governor of the state
in which they live. They are as
ignorant as they are nasty, and
are as nasty as tumblebugs. They
are human maggots, crawling and
revelling in slime, and spreading
their poison wherever they go.
My friends, be careful of your
tongue. Train it to talk, but
make it say kind things to and of
all. if you can not speak well of
any one speak not at all. 't ou
will never regret speaking kind
words, and they will lighten the
burdens of those to whom they are
spoken. Remember that a word
spoken can never be recalled, and
that kind words pay good divi
dends. Kven to the stock on the
farms kind words are a good in
vestment. No higher tribute can
he paid to any man or woman,
hoy or girl, than that he or she
never speaks an unkind word.
(let your heads and hearts right,
according to Uncle Tobey’s re
ceips, published in former issues
of this paper and they will help
1 control your hands and tongues.
