HOLD ON, BOYS.

By Christian at Work

HOLD on to your tongue when you are just ready to swear, lie, or speak harshly.
Hold on to your hand when you are about to punch, scratch, steal, or do any improper act.
Hold on to your foot when you are on the point of kicking, running off from study, or pursuing the path of error, shame, or crime.
Hold on to your temper when you are angry, excited, or imposed upon, or others are angry with you.
Hold on to your heart when evil associates seek your company, and invite you to join in their mirth, games, and revelry.
Hold on to your good name at all times, for it is of more value than gold, high places, or fashionable attire.
Hold on to the truth, for it will serve you well, and do you good throughout eternity.
Hold on to virtue—it is above all price to you at all times and places.
Hold on to your good character, for it is, and ever will be, your best wealth.—Christian at Work.
