A little yeast

Fellow Labourers-

I find the introduction/preamble to this article quite fascinating. I remember my first job as a bench chemist at a sugar factory I was attempting to show the lab helper that you could remove the water from sugar and leave just carbon. I put some sugar in a test tube, poured sulphuric acid on it and a massive explosion took place and all the contents hit the ceiling. I was frightened and kept thinking 'suppose my face was over the test tube'. For me that was another of God's miracles as He was preserving me for a purpose.

Back to the main point of the article-words can be helpful as well as harmful so be careful how we used them. Isn't it funny that you can call a man a dog and he is upset, but if you call him a big dog that's a complement. Let us endeavour to use words to build up and not to tear down.

A lot of quarrels and wars have ensued because of a word spoken out of turn. Great and lasting love relationships continue because of the careful use of words that nurtures the heart and uplifts the spirit.

Listen to Romeo-"Why, such is love's transgressions. Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast, which thou wilt propogate, to have it pressed with more of thine. This love that thou hast shown doth add more grief to too much of mine own. Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs: Being purged, a fire sparkling in lover's eyes; Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers' tears. What is it else? A madness most discreet, A choking gall and a preserving sweet."

Now who would fuss over this?

Pax Vobiscum
