The practice OF injustice Injuries
the affiictor as we'll as the afflicted.
If this principle was. generally recog-
nized, fewer would attempt to prac-
tice injustice ineQuity - inlquity
The Bible especially disclaims against
all forms OF injustice and upholds
justice. which is but another name
for Righteousness. All sins are great
and grievious in proportion as they
are inpustices affecting the rights of

Siayery'S Cost 10 the Egyptians.
On various pretcNts the Egyptians
justified their treatment of the He.
brews. They were becoming num-
erically strong. and might aid the
enemies of Egypt i'm case Of invasion
Therefore the Egyptians wished to
hinder their increase. Unsuccessful
in this, they enslaved the Hebrews
The slavery proved so profitable &c
the Egyptians that they afterward
thought that they could not get
along without slaves
Hence, at the time OF this Study
the Egyptians were ready 10 hold

had practiced. Truthful Is the prov.

"a just recompense. somehow, some

From ono point of view, the
plaques were miraculous; not SO
from another. We arc apt TO style
everything beyond our own expert

within our range as natural On the
other hand. from Gods standpoint
nothing is miraculous AS we he
