No part of Cod's instni-ti ns to His
Chun h more impoilMit than this
exhortation to justice. Kverything that
God loeA is based upon absolute Jus
tice, and lie invites- His eiple to le

our characters the great itialitks which
He jsesses, and which He has mag
nified and Illustrated to us. Many
Lave the thought that justice is a very
ordinary matter,, which practically
everyldy recognizes and follows. Put
tuch is not the case. Many would say.
"Do you iit know that we are Chris
tians, and that to practise justice
would naturally !e the duty all
Christians? Why d j uu not rather ex
hort us to cultivate love?" We reply.
Justice should always take precedence;
we have no right to do less than jus
tice to any memlter of the human fam
ily or, for that matter, even to n
animal.
The trouble with the whole world is
the failure to ncogniize this very prin
ciple. Justice is the foundation of
Cod's Throne. It is the liasic princi
ple upon which He would have us build
character, and upon which He deals
with all His creatures. Jt Is because
this principle of justice L not lining
recognized that the world" is in trou
ble, ami that the great tribulation is
coining ujkju our race, the Scriptures
assure us. While in mankind in gen
eral there is very little to love, jet ev
ery human lehjg should reive jus
tice. As followers f Christ, we are
to be the foremost in exercising jus
tice towards all.
What a grand world this would be
if every human being would resolve
to carry out the instnietk'tis of this
text! There would be no "doing" of a
neighbor In-fore lie could 'do"' you;
but there would be a spaiiug of the
iieighltor, a taking into account his
weaknesses and his interests. Who
ever would take advantage of ancther
would do something contriry to the
welfare of the other. As ye would, a
Jesus said, that others should do to
you, do ye even fo to them.
Justice the Basis of tho Law.
Thirty-live hundred years ago God
called the Israelites out of Egypt. In
substance He t;;id t j them, -pour hun
dred years ago 1 ma Je a Covenant with
Abraham that his Seed should biess
the world. Are yon ready to have that
promise fulfilled to youV" They de
clared that they were ready. So He
brought them to Mount Siaai, where
they entered into a Covenant with Him
to do whatever He directed. He gave
them the Ten Commandments and uaid
to them. -If you ih to le the Seed
of Abraham that i to bless mankind,
keep these commandments. "
That Ijw Covenant was bused upon
justice ulone; it did not ask them to
love their enemies. According to wheth
er or not they would render justice
would le the Iivine decision as to
their worthiness of lieing considered
Abraham's Seed that woul 1 bless the
worliL Put they were not aIe to ren
der justice, to do to their neighbor as
they would that he ishouM do to
hem. .. This failure was due to their
fallen conuit:o:i. locause tin bad in
come ingrained iu human n.iture. (Ro
mans 3:1"U.) The grasping disposition
which has ever siu-'e manifested itself
amongst that ieople began to appear;
and so, although God lw with the
''nation for more than sixteen hnndred
years, not one of them o'tainHl the
reward of everlasting life which was
offered to those who woifd keep the
Law. Leviticus 1S:3; Romans 10:5.
It is not an easy matter to keep that
Law Covenant of Justice. We see that
the Jews failed to do so. We know
that the Aiostle declared That by the
deed of the Law no imperfect flesh
nhail te saved. Nevertheless God says.
"T'nless yon keep the Law, you nhall
not be the Seed of Abraham that will
Mess all the families of the earth."
The Church and the Law.
The Scriptures point oit that the
Church of Christ Is the Spiritual Seed
of 'Abraham. (Galatians 3:S. 16, 29.)
Therefore they are obligated to keep
the Law. To enable them to do wnat
no fallen flesh can do. Go-1 has made
a sitealal arrangement for the Church,
though not for the Jewish nation, the
typical people. Knowing that man
kind were so fallen that none could
keep perfectly His Law, He sent His
Son into the world to be.p our race.
Our Lord, being perfect, uncontaiui
nated wirh the fallen race of Adam,
"Holy, harnaess. undefined and sepa
rate from sinners?. was able to keep
the Divine Ijiw and did so. Then, in
obedience to the Divine will. He offer
ed up Hlnifelf in a sacrificial sense.
The merit of the life which He sacri
ficed constitutes a credit which, ac
cording to the Pather's Plan, our Lord
will give for Adam and his race, as
their Pansoni-price. at the end of the
Gospel Age.
As soon as our Lord shad have offer
ed that merit to the Father, the whole
world will le turned over to HUn; and
immediately He will leuiu His great
work of ruling and blessing all the fam
ilies of the earth. The long delay has
been because of another part Tf the
Plan. It was the I'ivine will that He
should select a Church from the world,
to share with Him the great future
work of ble-sing humanity. Therefore
He will not begin His Ileign uutil the
prt destinated number of the Church
(lass shall have been selected, tested,
and changed by the ioer of the First
Resurrection. Then the Spiritual Seed
of Abraham will be complete.
It is well to note that the Spiritual
Seed of Abraham is not the natural
kind, liven Jesus as a man could nev
er have blessed the world. lie could
have set up a gonl human government,
but could have no right to give life to
the dead. Therefore He could never
hae rolled away the curse of death,
with all its concomitants. So it was
for Him to do something nwre than
keep the I'ivine Law something that
Justice never required, something of
self-sacrifice. Keeping the Law merely
authorised Jesus to live forever; and if
lie had set up His Kingdom without
giving His life as a Ransom, He could
not have blessed mankind; for all are
sinners under condemnation to death.
Resides keeping the Law. Jesus pre
sented His body a living sacrifice, holy,
ai-ceptahle to Cod. and His reasonable
service of saVrili' t prompted by love.
It is our first duty also to keep the
Law, to live up to its standard as near
ly as i.ssib!e. Rut having enlisted un
der the banner of 'hrist, it is addition
ally our duty to present our bodies a
living sacrifice, as those who walk in
His steps, faithful unto death. Thus
we Christians are obligated beyond all
other people. All are obligated to the
Golden Rule of Justice, but we by love
something much more thaa justice.
If we could, we would bo absolutely
just in thought, wold and deed. Rut
this we cannot do; for none of Adam's
race can Keep the I'ivine Law. Selfish
ness is deeply ingrained In our natural
body; atid by reason of this fact we
fail to leach full ierfectioii. Rut when
we fail, we are not condemned; for
with us the conditions are not the same
u viLh the Jewsi-. (Roman S:l.) The
blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from
all imperfection; the mercy of Christ
covers ail that we cannot do.
This does not excuse us, however,
from doing cur very Ih-sL If with our
hearts we recognize the Golden Rule,
we shall seek to conform even our
thoughts to it. We shall think and
scak as generously of our ncighlxr as
wo "would wish him to think and sjak
of us. We shall act as generously to
ward him as we would wih him to set
toward us. This principle would be
exorcised daily toward all. No matter
how ImiK-rfect we are to lKgiu with,
the work of God's grace should more
and more transform us, that we may
le more and more like our Lord Jesus.
How Love Fulfils the Law.
As far sis our hearts an; concerned,
we must lecome exact copies of God's
dear Son, though' not reaching His glo
rious standard. To that we may not
attain while in the ilesh. Daily we may
need to ask Iivine forgiveness for our
shortcomings. Rut lie who knoweth
the heart is pleased to see us doing
the best we can do. seeking to grow
In grace, in knowledge and iu sill the
requirements of the I'ivine standards.
This was the disposition of our Lord
Jesus; and the Father loves all who
manifest the same spirit. It is not
enough that we recognize the down
ward tendencies of sin. and start out
to wulk iu God's ways of righteousness.
If we Lave His Spirit we shall medi
tate on His character and copy His at
tributes. Whoever seeks to do gMl to
all will never wish to do less than
justice. He would rather do more.
Therefore the Apostle says, "I.ove is
the fulfilling of the Law."
When our Lord gave II is Church a
aew commandment (John 13:31), it in
cluded everything that ixTtained to the
Law. Whoever has this love will ap
preciate that it was love, not justice,
that led our Lord to leave the Heaven
iy glory and sacrifice Hi life on be
half of humanity. The Father did not
command the Son to make this sacri
fice. God does not command any one
to sacrifice his jersnHl interests on
llialf of others. He bad a Program
to be carried out. If the Son desired
to carry it out. He would receive the
reward promised.
So our Lord was quite willing to en
dure death itself, even death on the
Cross, from love for the Father. Ilav
Ing the Father's disposition. He sym
pathized with fallen humanity. God
had purposed to redeem mankind and
to bring all the willing and obedient
back to Iihine favor and blessing. Our
Ionl Jesus longed to do this work
This was more than justice. If we
have enlisted under His banner, to
share with Him in the sufferings of
this present life and in the future
glory, honor and immortality, then we
covenant to follow the Law of Love.
"Love worketh no ill to his neighbor."
Ixtve would do more than keep the
Mosaic Law. Love includes everything
along the line of justice; it would lead
one to sacrifice fur his neighbor, for
his friends and for his family. This is
more than justice.
Our Obligations to Others.
Many of God's people seem not to re
alize that justice takes precedence of
love. God requires justice; and if we
have agreed to give Him more than
justice, we are not thereby excused
from rendering justice. Everywhere
around us we find Injustice. There are
parents who do not deal justly with
their children, who take advantage or
their children in various ways. A par
ent owes it to his children not merely
to bring them iLtu the world and to
get them to work for the family inter
ests, but to provide them with a rea
souable education and a religious home
training. Kavh should know what are
hU own riphts in the home and should
observe the lights of others.
A gtKd man's sous might run away
from home, but very seldom will a
rightly trained child do so. In many
homes the children are not treated ac
cording to the principles of justice.
Often parents fail to realize the rights
of grown sons and daughters, but con
tinue to treat them as children. Pat
ents should cultivate that broad sym
pathy whbli would enable them to
help their children to decide all their
affairs. As a child matures, there
should be au independence of thought.
Suddenly it breaks over the boundary;
and if the child has been projeiiy
trained while the body has leeu grow
ing, the youth is bound to think and
act for himself, but will always seek
the guidauce of the parents.
There are employers who have failed
to give their employes all their reason
able rights. Of course, one cannot give
cvorylxMly all tlu.t each might ask: for
some pople would demand everything
and tlu'ii not be satisfied. Rut with
the riiht kind of employer the em
ploye does not find it necessary to ask
for his rights. The employer will in
sist that ho shall have them.
Then there are people intent upon
managing their friends. They are al
ways telling others what to do and
how to do it. We should le modest
and rcsjM'et the rights of others, but
should not attemot to force our opin
ions upon them. When others ask us
what to do and how to do it. then it is
time to tell then, should we consider
it proper to do so. If people come to
me for advice I say to them, "If I
were in your place, I think that I
would do thus and so; but the matter
is for you to decide." P.y shaking in
this way, we put the resionsibility
upon the proicr individual.
Looking From the Opposite Side.
We have spoken alnnit the obliga
tions of parents. Let us consider the
obligations of children. The Golden
Rule would say. As you would that
your children should do to you when
you liecoiue ndvimccd iu years, do e en
so to your parents. Children should
get this viewpoint. If every child
were taught along this line, when it
reached maturity the parent ctvould
have no need to worry about the
child's manifesting gratitude for the
parental love and care which it has
received. The parent would say, "My
children have had the principles of
JnstU-e so deeply ingrained from child
hood that they would be entirely dis
satisfied with ary thing wrong."
We have spoken of the employer; let
us now look at the employe. Imagine
their positions reversed. What would
each think it right to do for his ene
plocs or toward his employer? What
would be the right kind of terms, the
right kind of feeling? This course
would bring about a great change be
tween employers and employes.
So as we consider what would be the
right thing to do. and ate willing to do
what is right, we become more just in
our dealings with all. including our
business associates. Whether we buy
or sell, there is n fair, reasonable way
of dealing. It is wrong to buy so as
to cause those who sell to lose money.
We should be satisfied that the man
who sells goods to us should make a
reasonably fair profit. If we were
selling, we should expect to make a
reasonably fair profit, not an unjust
one. The Golden Rule would regulate
the matter.
Justice In the Church.
While the whole Church is built upon
the principle that the Gospel Church
are to lay dowu their lives for the
brethren, nevertheless some of God's
dear children fall to recognize the prin
ciples of justice in their dealings with
each other. Whenever a dilliculty
ftrises, we need especially to examine
our own hearts and conduct to see
whether the fault be ours. These diffi
culties nearly always result from a
violation of the principle of justice.
The foundation of God's Throne is
Justice. The Church that is built ac
cording to His arrangement is based
upon this same principle. Each mem
ber may yield Lis own rights, but he
must not .transgress those of others.
We should be very glad to see others
act justly toward us; but we should
not necessarily stand on our rights
anywhere. Lore ignores many of its
own rights. Our Lord's life on earth
was one of sacrifice. In the Church or
in the family or in business we should
use good judgment iti the doing of
God's will rather than in taking advan
tage of others.
As we do this, we are cultivating the
spirit of justice. Io we not see how
tLIs applies in every direction? For
instance, God's Law was originally
glTen to Adam; God's Justice inflicted
the death ienttlty for the breaking of
that Law. He would not set aside His
Law, Ills Justice, but He would bring
in a blessing through the Lord Jesus
Christ. Love giins this victory over
Justice, not by violating Justice, but
by sacrificing self. So it is for us
to sacrifice ourselves in the interest of
the Lord, the Truth and the brethren:
and by thus doing, we are really con
serving our own best interests and are
growing In grace, in knowledge and In
character-likeness to our God.
