Exhortations from an old Christian to younger ones.

Never neglect daily, private prayer; and when you pray, remember that God is present, and that He hears your prayers. (Heb. 11:6.)

Never neglect daily, private Bible-reading; and when you read, remember that God is speaking to you, and that you are to believe and act upon what He says. I believe all back-sliding begins with the neglect of these two things. (Jno. 5:39.)

Never let a day pass without trying to do something for the Lord. Every night reflect on what He has done for you, and then ask yourself, What am I doing for Him? (Mark 5:15-19.)

If ever you are in doubt as to a thing being right or wrong, go to your room, and kneel down and ask God's blessing upon it (Col. 3:17). If you cannot do this, it is wrong. (Rom. 14:23.)

Never take your Christianity from Christians, or argue because such-and-such people do so-and-so, that therefore you may (2 Cor. 10:12). You are to ask yourself, How would Christ act in my place? and strive to follow Him. (Jno. 10:27.)

Never believe what you feel if it contradicts God's Word. Ask yourself, Can what I feel be true if God's Word is true? and if both cannot be true, believe God, and make your own heart the liar. (Rom. 3:4; i Jno. 5:10, 2:)
