Sharpened Arrows 1 Corinthians 11:1-2 Be you followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.… In one of our western cities, high up on a very tall building, is a large clock. It registers what is called "electric time," and is known to be very accurate because it is regulated by the calculations of scientific instruments. On a large sign is painted, "Correct city time," and when one has any doubts about having the exact time, he sets his watch by this clock. Great mills, railroads, manufactories, run by its time. Should it lose or gain an hour the whole city would be thrown into confusion. Let us remember, one watch set right will do to set many by; while, on the other hand, the watch that goes wrong may be the means of misleading a whole multitude of others. So it is with life. A wholly consecrated person may become the example for many, and a wicked life of sin may, too, be the means of entangling a whole community of associates. "Examine yourselves." (Sharpened Arrows.)
