Speak thou the things which become sound doctrine. — Titus 2:1
The gospel of Christ has its special word for each person. It does not have the same message for every one. There is something here for old men. They have passed through many experiences, and they ought to have learned wisdom; they should be temperate, grave, sober–minded, with chastened spirit, good judgement, and be patient with all. There is a word here for old women – they should be reverent, charitable, careful in speech, helpful to neighbors and friends. There is a duty for younger women, too – they should be good wives, good mothers, good home–makers, living so worthily that they will be an honor to Christ. Christian young men, also, have a place all their own to fill. They should discard the follies of the world and be thoughtful, sober–minded, full of good works, like their master. There is a Christian duty also for servants and employees, who are to be faithful, even if their masters are not kind, in all things adorning the manner of Christ.
