Illustrations often use imagery of measuring words or delivering news gently, highlighting the power and responsibility of language in building up the body of Christ (Colossians 4:6).

Every one was alert to hear; when Lord North arose slowly in his place, and with a solemn voice said, "Gen. Burgoyne and his whole army are prisoners to the Americans." A dead silence of several minutes followed.
