Apples of Gold in Pictures of Silver

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. Proverbs 25:11

"In many, the absence of a Christlike spirit has been very marked. Many who claim to follow Christ have not His fragrance of character.

By performing
*deeds of mercy, and
*by speaking words of kindness
that are like apples of gold in pictures of silver,
they could exert an elevating influence over those with whom they come in contact; but too often their words are harsh, their actions unbecoming a Christian.

God can not approve of wrong words and actions, for they are an offense to Him. He calls for a decided and thorough change."
Worker's Bulletin 1902 E.G.W.
