One of the acid tests of Christian character is a man's ability to live peaceably with his fellow man. When a Christian is crotchety and irascible, faultfinding and ungracious, impatient and temperamental, his fellow men immediately raise their brows and whisper to their nearest neighbor, "Some Christian, eh?" The only way an unsympathetic world has of measuring a man's faith is by watching the fruits, the works and the attitudes of his life. Truly, Paul wrote, "Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men."

So much has been recorded in Holy Writ for our edification and instruction in the art of living that every Christian should be "throughly furnished unto all good works," but the truth is that very few professing Christians seem to realize the importance of learning the rule for gracious living and effective witnessing.
