PREFATORY NOTE
This book gives the gist of the Author’s lectures on the themes of which it treats, and which have been given from time to time to Seminary and Training School students, and also before more popular gatherings, in Y. M.
C. A. lecture courses and elsewhere. It is hoped it may be useful to those who have not access to larger books, or perhaps the time or ability to use them. The questions accompanying each chapter are in tended to take the place of an index, and may possibly increase the value of the book as an introductory text-book for teachers in Bible Institutes, and Nor mal Training classes whose number is constantly growing, and to whose efficiency for their particular work the Au thor would be glad to contribute.
PC29 Don’t be a Gossip. We examine the sin of gossiping and slander in the light of the Word of God. This study guides our thoughts.
Excerpt from the Tract
Leviticus 19:16 Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor: I am the LORD.
The definition of gossip is a person who repeats news or rumors, even murmurings or conversation that hurts other people’s image, when these people are absent and cannot defend themselves. It is a cowardly form to speak about others behind their backs (or being absent) in order to discover something (true or false) about them that they would not say in front of that person to their face because it is insulting or would humiliate the person. Gossip is an attack against the person they are talking about.
