A bad, passionate man was one morning swearing at his wife when his little five-year-old child came into the room and said,
“Mother, I know my text; let me make haste to school.”
“What is the text, dear?” said the poor mother, wishing to keep her child from hearing the oaths of the father.
“Bless, and curse not!” said the little girl, putting up her rosy lips to her father for a kiss as she finished the words.
The tears came into the man’s eyes as the child departed. All that day,
“Bless, and curse not!” rang in his ears.
He became a changed man from that time, God had spoken by the mouth of a little child, and one can but exclaim with the psalmist,
“Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast Thou ordained strength because of Thine enemies, that Thou mightest still the enemy and the aveer.” Psalms 8:22Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. (Psalm 8:2).
“Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain.” Exodus 20:77Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. (Exodus 20:7).
