In harmony with the Divine premise made to Abraham. Analyzing Our Subject Applying this principle of justice to our words. It means that we should uot speak evil of either friend or foe; that we should not even Insinuate evil It means that we should not tell un necessarily what we know to be the j truth, if It would harm our neighbor, i disparage him and discredit him In the j eyes of otheiu. It means that we j should love our neighbor and his Inter- ' e?ts as we lore our own, and should defend his interests and guard them as carefully as we would our own. Justice, In order to thus operate ft) j our words and deeds, must operate in ! our hearts?In our minds. "As a man thinketb, so is he." If he thinks unkindly, ungenerously, unjustly, he will find it impossible always to avoid on kind, unjust, unloving words or actions. "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh." It follows, then, that to do Justly signifies absolute righteousness in thought. In word, In conduct This none of us are capable of. The nearest approach to this Is the perfect or Just Intention of the heart, covenanted by all those who become followers of the Lord Jesus Christ The Intentions and good endeavors of these are accepted of the Father.
