In an earlier post, I pointed up the importance of Christian conversation from Buynan's Pilgrim's Progress. Here's another tribute to that oft-neglected discipline and delight from the same book (p. 140):
When Saints do sleepy grow, let them come hither,
And hear how these two Pilgrims talk together,
Yea, let them learn of them in any wise,
Thus to keep ope their drowsy, slumb'ring eyes.
Saints' Fellowship, if it be managed well,
Keeps them awake, and that in spite of Hell.
Please note, once again, what Buynan thinks is at stake. Christian conversation must be our portion in this life as we head heavenward.
