If once the
soldiers of the cross would get the proper thought, that
slander and evil-speaking are assassinations of the
character of another, and that defamation is robbery of
another’s good name, the sooner they will see this
matter in its truly awful light, as it must appear
in the Lord’s sight; and once seeing the matter from this
true, Divine standpoint, it must awaken the new heart, mind and
will to the greatest activity possible in the overcoming
of such works of the flesh and of the devil. Each will
seek to purge out the old leaven of malice and envy and
strife and crookedness and evil-speaking, that he may be
pure in heart, a copy of the
Lord.
