They Never Speak Roughly

“They Never Speak Roughly.”

I was walking lately with a young, unconverted friend, in whom I felt a great interest, and in the course of conversation, I said:— “How many of your companions do you think are Christians?” In reply she gave me the names of four: J. F——, A. L——, M. M——, and S. L——. I said: “Why do you think they are Christians?” “Because,” she replied, “they never speak roughly.” Is not this a lesson to the children of God, of the deep importance of words?”—Exchange.
