Heart-Words.

An old writer has truthfully remarked, that we may say what we please if we speak through tears. Tender tones prevent severe truths from offending. Hence when we are most tender, at heart, our words are most powerful. Hence one great reason why our words have so much more power during a revival than at other times. Our hearts are more tender then than they usually are—we feel more, and it is easy for the impenitent to see and feel that our hearts are interested in their behalf. They feel that our words are not mere lip-words, but heart-words.
