Then there are times when we may be in certain places where the conversation becomes defiling that we may quickly leave the scene. If this should be the case we ought to leave without delay. In a verse already quoted from Proverbs we are told to "TURN FROM IT AND PASS AWAY." By such action we give silent but effectual reproof. This does not require the courage that open reproof does, but it preserves us from hearing the defiling talk, while it expresses our definite disapproval. In some cases the Lord may lead one to combine this rather negative testimony with the positive rebuke previously mentioned.
