        Matthew 7:13&14 “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”

        Proverbs 15:1 “A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. ”

      3. Daniel Shares With His Friends,
