The e":a:t date cannot be determ- ined. Place. â€" Frobnbly Janes v/roto the epistle in the city of Jerusalem. The author of this epistle was the brother of the Lor:l Jesus, and is re- ferred to directly only tv.ice in the Gospc!.! (Jlntt. 12:4r>; 13:55; Mark 6:3. Cf, John 2:12; 7:3.r.). He was, of course, a Je'.v, brou<jht up in the strict teachings of the Jewish .synajro'tur, devoted to the law of Moses, zealous in livinp; a righeous and godly life. His was probably the first epistle written in the early church. It is against this general desire to be prominent as instructors that St. James is here warning his readers. In teaching others, they were in dan- ger of forBotting; to teach them- selves; to possess faith and to do nothin'.r but talk. If any stumbleth not in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also. 3. Xow if we put the horses' bridles into their month.', that they may obey us, we turn about their whole body also. James hare bej::ins the subject which occupies almost the entire chapter, namely, thr.t of the control of the tonfTi-.e. What .lame? here means is that, if a man has his tongue under control, i.e., his speech, he will be thereby kcepinc: under control all the or;,Tans of his body which v.iU lead him into s'li if i;ot niastere i. A Tongue Controlled •;. Bcliold, the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by rouffh v.inds, are yet turned about by a veiy small rudder, whither the im- pulse of the steersman willeth. 5. So ti:o tongue also is a little member, and ! oasteth groat things. .As a hors3 uncoatiolle;! is worthless ".? tzr ;-.s n'.an is concerned, so a » ip whe.'j driven by rough winds is cer- tain to founder on the rocks or the bca?h and bo smashed to pieces.

[iehold. how much wood is kinii'cd by how sinall a firel fi. And' the torgue is a fire. The tongue can infi;'.T:;o a;iother with the passion of anj^cr. or the poison of suspicion. The v.orld of iniijuity among our niei-.^iicrs is the tongue, which defil- cth the whole body. '"You sully your lips ;'.nd dcgrr.do your whole nature when you sufTcr yourself to speak the tainted and tainting: wcid. Pas- sions kindled by unscrupulous lan- pu;'.':? spread through various chan- Jie!:; and courses until the whole cycle of human life is in llames. .And is set on fire by hell. "The fire of ir,ti".i"s v.:;;th is kindled irom beneath as the fire that clcanseth is kindled from above. 7. For every kind of beasts and birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tame 1 by mankind. S. But the tonjruc can no man tame ; it is a restless evil, it is full of deadly poi- son. .'Vi'.gustine well remarks: "James does not say that no one can tame the tongue, but no one of men; so that, v.hcn it is tamed, we confess that this is brought about by the pity, the help, the grace of God." The apo.«lc now calls the attention of his readers to the great but mys- terious truth with which we are all acquainted â€" that with the tongue preat good and great evil both may be effected. P. Therewith bless we the Lord and Father ; and therewith curse we me:i. who are made after the likeness of God. 10. Out of the same mouth Cometh forth blessing and cursing. 'How great are the possibilities of a tongue which is under divine con- trol, cleansed and anointed! What sorrov.s it can comfort, what wounds it can heal, what strife it can still! It is also God's mightiest instrument for the pulling down of the strong- holds of ."^in, and the upbuilding of his kingdom. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. It was abnormal that a man .should bless God in his pray- ers or creed and yet so despise or spiak evil of members of his own family, inasmuch as he and his fel- low-men were the ofl'spring of a com- mon Father. 11. Doth the fountain send forth from the same opening sweet water and bitter? 12. Can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs? Neither can salt water yield sweet. For similar figures of speech used by our Lord, see Matt. 7:16-18; 12: 83-36. Two Kindi of Wiidom Who Is wise and understanding among you ? In a most natural way, James proceeds from liis ."specific dis- cussion of speech to the larger ques- tion of v.-isdom. The understanding of things human and divine and their causes. It is the word used to de- scribe the v.isdori o." C;hvir,t himself (Matt. ISi^l). James refers to the need for v.isdom at tlic -cry begin- ning of his epistle ( 1 :5, C), and now returr.s to the subject once again. Let him show by his good life his works in meekness of wisdom. Meek- ness in the New Testament "included submissiveness to God as well as gentleness towards man. 14. But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth. The word here translated faction might be more accurately translated "riv- alry," expressing the strife existing among different individuals or groups of individuals. There is nothing more tragic in the world than to see Chris- tion teachers, and oflficers in the Christian church .striving among themselves for superior places of honor, and angry if someone el.se gets more praise than they get. To glory with their tongues of superior v^isdom, while they cherished jeal- ousy and faction in their hearts, was a manifest lie, a contradiction of what tbey must know to be the truth. James now turns from his discus- sion of wisdom in general to a char- acterization and development of the two kinds of wisdom which men may have, one bearing evil fruit, and the other bearing fruits of righteousness. 15. This wisdom. That is, any such wisdom that allows jealousy and fac- tion in one's heart. Is not a wisdom that Cometh down from above, but is earthly That is, it does net have a divine origin, but derives from the natural plane on which unrcgener- atcd men live. "It belongs to the lov.-er impulses, not the hiuher, in man's nature. Devilish. The orig- inal v.oi-d here really refers not so much to the ilevil himself, as to de- mons, and as partaking of the nature of demons or unclean spirits who arc represente I as po.^sessing the sjuls of men, and redr.cing them to the level of madness. 16. For where jealou.iy and faction are. there is confu.sion and every vile deed. In I Cor. 14:33, God is said to be the author, not of confusion, but of peace. The v.-ord here trans- lated vile means good for nothing. 17. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure. (See Prov. 2: 3-6). "The purity of the heavenly wisdom does not consist merely in victory over temptations of the Mesh, but in freedom from worldly and low motives. "I cannot win men from impurity to purity if I am not pure." Then peaceable, gentle. "It is be- cause the man who is inspired with pure wisdom has no ulterim-. selfish ends to serve that he is gentle, sym- pathetic, and considerate towards those who oiipose him.

Appro.ximately ninety-live out of every hundred Bell Teleplione male plant workers are now qualified to render First .Aid. entreated. The best interpretation of this phrase would be "winning its way by gentleness" Full of mercy and good fruits. Without variance, without hypocrisy. The first two words here probably mean 'unwav- ering,'' "steadfast." "single-minded," while, as wo all know, hypocrisy means "in.sincerity," "pretending to be something whi.h one is not."

Duchess Abandons Wallis Blue Color "Wallis blue" went by the board this week. Xew clothes chosen at Paris by the Duchess of Windsor were black, brown and red. Only one costume struck the familiar blue note. It was a traveling ensemble in navy blue wool. There was a strong note of plaid in apparel the duchess selected for day wear at Mainbocher's, where a private room was set aside for her fittings. Her new dinner frocks for winter parties were of lace and georgette. The fabrics chosen for formal even- ing gowns included broadcloth, tutler. Hashing metal fabrics and somber velvets.
