Thought for August 7

[Thought for the Day]

     Instruction in vocal culture should be given in the home circle.
Parents should teach their children to speak so plainly that those who are
listening can understand every word that is said. They should teach them to
read the Bible in clear, distinct utterance, in a way that will honor God.
And let not those who kneel round the family altar put their faces in their
hands and in their chair when they address God. Let them lift up their heads
and, with holy awe and boldness, come to the throne of grace.  Adventist
