• VERBAL VlCES.—lndulgence in verbal •
vice soon encourages corresponding vices
in conduct. Let any one of you come to.
talk about any mean or vilepractice, with.
a familiar tone, and do you suppose when
the opportunity occurs for committing the
mean or .yi!4z act he ' will be its' strong
against it as hefore% It is - by no means
an unknotvn thing that, men of correct lives
talk thethselves into crime into sensuality,
'into erdition.' Bad language' easily runs
into bad deeds. Select any iniquity you
please; suffer yourself to converse in its
