Words that Dispel Gloom
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.)
