Compared to eternity, long life on earth is very brief, so let us learn to number our days, that we may know how to live. It will not be long before your pilgrimage on earth comes to an end.

When a man through the study of the scriptures comes to the knowledge of the truth, it makes him wise unto salvation. From that point he begins to speak wisdom out of the abundance of God's word hidden in his heart. The Lord also gives him the tongue of the learned that he may know how to both speak and answer every man. Every true child of God should therefore have a soft, wholesome and tamed tongue to speak edifying and encouraging words.
