Orr, Charles Ebert

"How to Live a Holy Life"

Whatever matters may arise, let
the peace of God take it in hand and dispose of it. If it shows any
resistance, then let the peace of God cast it out.
"Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know
how ye ought to answer every man." Col. 4: 6. "Let no corrupt
communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use
of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers." Eph. 4: 29.
Have a pure speech, made mighty by the grace of God. Be sober without
gloom, be serious with cheerfulness. Have such a conversation as is suited
to lift hearts to a higher plane. Your words should be such as to make
better those you talk with and make them feel that there is something
higher for them.
"Redeeming the time, because the days are evil." Eph. 5:16. Time is more
than money; it is life. Do not waste it. Improve its golden moments today.
Be economical in its use. Many complain of not having time for devotional
reading and for prayer, while if they would examine carefully, they would
find that they trifle away as much time as would he needed for prayer each
day.
