LET THY SPEECH BE WITH GRACE.

He that negotiates between God and man, As God's ambassador, the grand concerns Of judgment and of mercy, should beware Of lightness in his speech. 'Tis pitiful To court a grin when you should woo a soul, To break a jest when pity would inspire Pathetic utterances, and address The skittish fancy with facetious tales When sent with God's commission to the heart. —Selected.
