The Effects of Words

There are words spoken quietly and coldly which break like the lightning-flash, bearing on their blighting wings sad desolation which years cannot repair. On the other hand, there are simple words which, treasured in memory, hang like bright stars of joy and cheer in dark nights of sorrow and trial. Keep ever speaking true words, kindly, loving words, the words of Christ, wherever you go, and you will some day find them again in benedictions in the hearts of those who have heard them.
