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
