THE SPIRIT OF
LOVING ONE
AI|O Their
Judge Not BY Actions but
Rather BY the Spirit
Shown
By ELIZABETH TOWNE.

Each soul must Judge himself,
not others: he can see himself from
| the inside in spirit, but others he
looks at from the outside, the
letter. Therefore he must Inn
puts to others exactly the same
righteous spirit that he claims for
himself. That II what 1t means to
love Others as we love ourselves.
IN the old order we Judge and con-
denim the outside actions Of people;
in the new order we glorify God
within them judging not the outer
but believing IN Christ within them.
Now are we not under law ana
judgings, but under Grace Of our
Lord Jesus Christ tin every man
guiding, unfolding every soul &C
no two alike, OF all the 1,720, 900 900
souls on earth!
Look to the Lord III every one,
unfolding His Christ Mind! Loose
every one III your own mind and
LET him 20 free.-do not judge an
other BY your standards Of be-
havior. Let 'em have their own!
That Is their God-given right.
Just as long as people obey the
laws (which are ordained Of Cod
through mani and do not interfere
with NIB equal rights to freedom,
their actions are not my business
to Judge. So i judge not by their
actions hut by their Spirit aud
their fruits OF the Spirit; their
love. Joy. peace, Iong-suffering
gentIeness, meekness, goodness,
faith, temperance.
Does my neighbor's behavior ex-
press the Spirit? Not does It ex-
press according to mine. or any
othre mans conventions or pat
terms: that is the question Of Spirit.
Follow the Spirit. Bank on the
Spirit and let go Of the old order.
inan-made conventions and judg-
ments! Trust Spirit IN the other
The old order is an order Of
exercising authority over each
other, but the new order is the
order of absolute freedom for every
individual to express according 70
the Christ pattern within himself,
without imposing his standard on
any other human being.
Let 60 the old standards! Fol
low the new Spirit! lou viii find
peace and spiritual prosperity such
as you have never dreamed u De-
fore.
The Kingdom Of Heaven is at
hand!-at your hand and at my
hand in what we do unto each
other and unto all OF US as we
would that they should do to us.
And / recall to your mind that
our doing begins in thinking.
So, the Kingdom OF Heaven is
within each in proportion as we
think about others as we would
like to have them think about us II
our positions were reversed.
The Kingdom OF Heaven comes
on earth through your hand and
my hand as we act toward the
other fellow according to the
heaven of loving kindness which is
within our thoughts.
All we have to be concerned
with is what we think about the
other fellow. Out OF our thinking
about the other fellow comes our
habit of thinking in our hearts, in
our habit Of subconscious nature,
and it is out of the heart that life
issues-God's life. Let US hold to
Christ in all of us.
All of our outer world judgments
go to dam up the spring Of life,
which will ever bubble up from
our hearts and issue forth through
our actions If we will only keep
the spring clear Of those judgments
based on the outer which are the
judgments Of the. old order which
eliminated in the world war and
which is quickly disappearing from
the earth.
