Slang and Christian Speech

THERE is nothing edifying in slang. The gospel does not readily bear translation into the language of the slums, neither can Christian experience find fit expression in low, vulgar phrases. They who use the speech of depraved tastes, are likely to descend to the level of that speech, because its associations are not with moral excellence, but with depravity.—Northern Christian Advocate.
