Useless Talk.

By H. S. Z.

This is peculiarly a time when the people of God should be meditative. They should think a great deal and speak but little. They should be sober and not mirthful. Study should accompany their meditations. All superficial reading should be abandoned. Better read one book, if it take a year, and understand it, than to skim over many, and then not be familiar with their contents. It is very important that we restrain all useless talk. We have no time for one idle word. May the Lord deepen the work of grace in the hearts of his children. H. S. Z.
