Is II possible that the true religion
Of the Bible demands nothing more Of
us than is expressed in this text?
What about the Jewish Law? What
about the Ten Commandments? What
about church attendance? What about
our responsibilities 10 our families 10
the Church. to the poor? What about
the study OF tho Bible to know Gods
will? what about our responsibility
for the heather? what about Baptism
and the Lord $ supper?
Indirectly all the matters covered
by these questions. and many more,
are included incidentally in the pro-
visions Of our text. Sometimes whole
sermon IL preached IN few words
No one will dispute the reasonahleness
of the Divine requirements as stated
In our text our Creator could not
Justly or with self-respect ask less of
His creatures who would enjoy His
favor. The interests Of all demand
! that these principles should be re-
quired of every creature permitted the
enjoyment Of Divine favor to the cN-
| tent Of eternal life. Whoever fails to
come up To these conditions would
! thus evidence his unworthiness Of life
/ everlasting. His prolonged existence
would merely he a prospering ~ sin
/ and a menace to the happiness and
Righteousness Of others.
Let NJ see the scope Of this Divine
/ requirement. whose Justice We nave
already acknowledged. We note tho
natural division of our text into three
parts: 90 Doing Justly, 90 Loving
/ mercy, 80 Waking humbly.
The requirement OF justice in all our
Z dealings with our fellows comments
itself to every rational mind. II in
cludes the whole Law of God. a briel
statement OF that Law, which had oul
Lords approval reads. Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart. with all thy mind. with all thy
being and with all thy strength; ant
thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy
self" ON these two propositions
hang all the Law and the Prophets.
II Is but just that we should recog
nize our Creator as first; that w
should glorify the one who gave M
our being and all the blessings COMING
herewith that we should be obedien
to His righteous requirements tina
! make for our happiness and that o
others. 1t is also but just that W
should recognize the rights Of Others
RS we would have them recognize on
rights. The Golden Rule Is the bares
OF Justice. Not a hairs breadth les
would come within the requirement
OF our text, DO justly. Come then
let us reason toge her. How many o
us do Justly in all OF LIES affairs-il
our relationship to our God and {
our neighbor?
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-02-08

Let each criticise his words and
his deeds toward parents. children,
brothers, sisters, toward husband. to-
ward wife. In all Of our relationships OF
life do we treat those near and dear 70
us according to the standards of JUS
tice, according to the Golden Rule?
Do we do toward them as we would
have them do toward us? II not, after
making beginning with the Lord
striving to render to Him our homage
and obedience. let us closely scrutinize
every word, every act. of the home life
and see to what extent these can be
improved upon and made more nearly
just. The majority of people. we feel
sure, will he surprised to know how
unjust they have been toward those
who are Of the very nearest and dear
est or iieshly relationships.
Follow the matter up and consider
the Justice or Injustice Of your words
and deeds in daily life with your
neighbors and associates. DO you in
variably speak to them IN the same
words and with the same tone and
gesture that you would approve if they
were in your place and you in theirs
In business do you drive a closer bar

on the other hand do you ask Of them
higher prices for the services or ma
terials you furnish them than YOU
would consider right If you were the

and animals as kindly, as gently, as
