John 3.
A DEAR little Christian boy had a swearing father, whose wicked words grieved him very much, because he well knew it grieved God to hear them; and one day, with tears in his eyes, he said to his father, “Please, father, don’t abuse God’s name; for don’t you know God loves us so, that He sent His dear Son to die for us, father!”
A LITTLE boy not yet six years old, who had been with his father and mother to the country, after returning home in the evening, said to his mother — “Mother, Willie B― swore!”
He was asked, “And what did you say?” He replied, “I said, ‘God heard that’!” What a reproof in these words! All little boys and girls should think of that when they are tempted to use any words which they know are wrong. Remember, although your father and mother may not hear you, God hears all you say.
