JULY NINTH Henry Hallam born 1777. Edmund Burke died 1797. Elias Howe born 1819. Discretion of speech is more than eloquence; and to speak agreeably to him with whom we deal is more than to speak in good words or in good order. --Francis Bacon. When anyone provokes you, be assured it is your opinion which provokes you. Try therefore, in the first place, not to be hurried away with appearance. For if you once gain time and respite, you will more easily command yourself. --Epictetus. Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer each one. --Colossians 4. 6. My Father, help me to learn through kindness and tenderness the value of self-control. Help me in the moods of jealousy and impatience, that I may not cause others unhappiness by words or deeds. Teach me how to overcome the ways that keep me discontented, that I may have a brighter speech. Amen.
