Good conversation
I. The subject here suggested for our commonplace talk: his wondrous works. We ought to talk more about Gods wondrous works.
1. As we find them in Holy Scripture.
2. As we find them in the history of our own country.
3. As we find them in our own individual history.
II. The excellency of this subject is both negative and positive.
1. Negative. Were we to talk more of Gods wondrous works--
(1) We should talk less about our own works.
(2) We should be free from talking of other peoples works.
(3) It would keep us from the ordinary frivolities of conversation.
2. Positive. The habit once acquired of talking more of Gods wondrous works--
(1) Would necessitate stricter habits of observation and of discrimination in watching the providence of God;
(2) would be very ennobling;
(3) would cause our gratitude to glow and would give an impulse to our entire life.
III. Let me urge this taking ordinarily and commonly about Gods wondrous works. Not only will it prevent much evil and do us much good, but it will be the means of doing much good to others. It will--
1. Impress the sinner.
2. Enlighten the ignorant.
3. Comfort the desponding. (C. H. Spurgeon.)
