Beware of wasted moments!',

Back to THOUGHTS FOR THE QUIET HOUR

---

The marvels and triumphs of the printing-press have 
now made accessible to peasant and labourer, the 
wondrous blessing of Christian literature! Neither 
Croesus nor Plato—the two old-world representatives 
of wealth and thought—had a library to compare with 
what is readily available to us. 

Let the young especially prize this splendid inheritance, 
making it alike a privilege and obligation to devote some
hours to reading and garnering mental stores. Let them 
beware of wasted moments—golden ingots—too often 
mortgaged to . . .
sloth,
frivolity,
idleness, 
voluptuous ease and
degrading passion. 

"Redeeming the time, because the days are evil." Eph. 5:16
