Matthew 12:36 But I say to you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. A child that is in trouble in the nurse's arms is sung to; some little song, the whole of which does not give a single solitary particle of meaning; but the movement of it, and the various associations that are connected with it, charm the child away from tears, and make him happier. (H. W. Beecher.)
