ANSWER TO A QUESTION
FROM A READER OF THE
SUGGESTIVE QUESTIONS
BY Rev. DIR. Linscott.
LESSON, MATT. ". l7-26


QUESTION s. Verse 90 If a man
does an outward good deed for the sake
of custom or policy. or to be seen of
men. that he would not do from his own
choice. how is his deed regarded by God?
ANSWER. From the teaching of Jesus
in this chapter. it would appear that the
scribes and Pharisees, while professedly
religious men, were actually hypocrites
Their anxiety was not to be good. but to
appear to be good by doing outwardly
good things, and hiding their real char
acter; this fact suggests the question
which l am requested to answer. 1t is
certainly a good thing for children to be
trained in good habits. long before they
can appreciate motives. and for all men
to encourage in themselves habits that
are good. Even when a man who does
not profess TO be a Christian, is a man
of good habits, and thus follows the Gus
tom of really good people, so to speak
automatically. this is so far good but
when one does an outward good thing
for the sake of deeeiving people. or when
he would not do the good deed II it were
not seen of others, he is of course hy-
pocrite and is regarded by God in that
light The only goodness which God
recognizes is love for our fellows, and
the actions which spring from love. The
deeds which we do to be seen of men,
to be thought well of by them, without
any real intention of doing good, but
simply to minister to our pride, or profit,
are regarded by God as sinful deeds.
Deeds which spring from kindness Of
heart, whether seen by others or not, are
always approved by the Heavenly
Father. and these are the deeds which
all men should cultivate.
