Speech Spoilt by the Underlying Evil of a Corrupt Heart
Psalm 15:2
He that walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart.


A lady who had lost a little daughter took a photograph and painted it with rare skill and laid it in a drawer, and was grieved to find that soon afterwards it was covered with ugly blotches. She painted it again, and it was again marred. There was something wrong with the paper, some chemical ingredients in undue proportions. No matter how beautiful the picture made on its surface, up ever out of the heart of the paper would come the ooze of decay. So with human life, the heart being wrong spoils all.

(J. R. Miller.)
