 Good conversation advertises man. Inst talk a little and your listener will size you up. Season your conversation with salt. God said in the Bible that he wanted no sacrifice brought to him with out salt in it. Take salt out of the world and 1t will rot.

Every time you do this you either put it right back where you got it from. add something to it or take something away from it.
 .'Every time you take mans name, ask yourself If what you are saying Is true-adopt the four-minute mans plan where did you get your information? Show down with yourself or shut up. For, if you start anything against I man and you don't know whether it Is true or not, you are scoundrel.
