We must exhibit our gospel in our own life.

We must teach by our own example.

If we would have others elevated, we must elevate ourselves.
Each man can exhibit the results in his own person.

He can begin with self-respect.
The uncertainty of life is a strong inducement to provide against the evil day.

To do this is a moral and social, as well as a religious duty.
"He that provideth not for his own, and especially for those of his own household, hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel." The uncertainty of life is proverbially true.
