(Whoa gempted to ettatev

By ELLEN G. WHITE

CULTIVATE the habit of speaking well of others. Dwell upon the good qualities of those with whom yon associate, and see as little as possible of their errors and failings. When tempted to complain of what someone has said or done, praise something in that person's life or character. Culti- vate thankfulness. Praise God for His wonderful love in giving Christ to die for us. It never pays to think of our grievances. God calls upon us to think of His mercy and His matchless love, that we may be inspired with praise. Earnest workers have no time for dwelling upon the faults of others. We cannot afford to live on the husks of others' faults or failings. Evil- speaking is a twofold curse, falling more heavily upon the speaker than upon the hearer. He who scatters the seeds of dissension and strife reaps in his own soul the deadly fruits. The very act of looking for evil in others develops evil in those who look. By dwelling upon the faults of others, we are changed into the same image. But by beholding Jesus, talking of His love and perfection of character, we become changed into His image. By contemplating the lofty ideal He has placed before us, we shall be uplifted into a pure and holy atmosphere, even the presence of God. When we abide here, there goes forth from us a light that irradiates all who are connected with us. Instead of criticizing and condemning others, say, "I must work out my own salvation. If I co-operate with Him who desires to save my soul, I must watch myself diligently. I must put away evil from my life. I must overcome every fault. I must become a new creature in Christ. Then, instead of weakening those who are striving against evil, I can strengthen them by encouraging words." — Ministry of Healing, page 492. VOL. 54, NO. 7 MARCH 30, 1960

Probably the most illogical place on earth for the location of a church is a prison. But behind the stone walls of the Tennessee State Penitentiary in Nashville is the anomaly of a church within a prison. It is an active one, too. More than twenty-five members have been baptized during the past few years, and at the weekly Sunday services one often sees overflow crowds—men who have offended society but who are eager to learn about the gospel of Christ. Like every other conversion story, there is a lot of hard work behind it. Adventist laymen regularly visiting and working with the prisoners, plus the judicious distribution of These Times, tells the story. The graphic testimony of Lonnie Melton, himself a prisoner and the lay pastor in charge of the prison church, speaks for itself: SOUTHERN TIDINGS FROM THE HIGHEST LEGISLATII
