XXV.—Justice. 
RUTH is the 
summit of 
living; justice 
is the application of 
it to affairs. Hon- 
esty deals with 
oneself, but justice 
represents one’s re- 
lations to one’s 
kind. Honesty may 
make a_ hermit; 
justice makes the 
citizen. Justice is 
a religious element, 
though based on 
moral grounds. Jus- 
tice may be defined 
as that virtue which impels us to give 
every person what is his due. In this 
extended sense of the word it compre- 
hends the practice of every virtue 
which reason prescribes or society 
should expect. 
Our duty to our Maker, to each oth- 
er and fo ourselves is fulfilled if 
Wwe give them what we owe them. 
Thus justice, properly speaking, is the 
only virtue, and all the rest have their 
origin in it. 
Justice is not absolutely inexorable; 
it tempers its severity with kindness 
and mercy and aims at a medium 
course which brings about the greatest 
good. Mercy involves forgiveness. 
Charity is an aspect of justice. Being 
just is equivalent to not hindering the 
advancement of our fellow men. Be- 
ing charitable is equivalent to assist- 
ing in that advance. 
There is what might be called an in- 
tellectual charity which consists in 
opening the eyes of the mentally blind. 
But the noblest of ail charities is in 
coming to the aid of those in the deep 
slough of moral despondency and in 
raising the sinful and the fallen. 
In its application to juvenile offend- 
ers it has been found that kindness 
and interest in their future work 
greater reform than punishment. 
Judge Benjamin B. Lindsey, who is at 
the head of the Children’s court in 
Denver, says: ‘We have been strug- 
gling to put a little love into the law. 
It has been said that there is no love 
without justice, but it is equally true 
that there is no justice without love.” 
An awakened sense of justice will 
show the wrong of talebearing and 
saying unkind things of others, for 
such tales may be untrue and work 
great iniustice and cause unmerited 
' JAMES T. WHITE. 
pain and distress, And the worst o1 
it is such unkind words cannot be re- 
called and sometimes cause wounds 
which are never healed. 
A story is told of a young woman who 
was given to talking about her neigh- 
bors. She told idle tales against them, 
which were told again by others until 
much harm was 
done in the vil- 
lage. The good 
priest remon- 
strated with her 
to no purpose. 
Finally he told 
her to perform 
this penance: She 
was to buy a 
fowl in the mar- 
ket and to pluck 
out all the feath- 
ers and scatter 
them through 
the village until the last feather was 
gone, when she was to report to the 
priest. This seemed a light punish- 
ment to her, but upon her return the 
priest told her to go back over the 
same road and pick up every feather 
under pain of heavy penalty. She said, 
“But this cannot be done, for the wind 
has blown them all away.” 
The wise priest replied: “So it is with 
the unkind words which you have let 
fall from your lips. They have gone 
quite beyond your ability to recall 
them. But they must be recalled be- 
fore your sin can be washed out. Look 
at the task you have set for yourself!” 
John Hay displayed a sense of jus- 
tice in his dealings with weaker na- 
tions which was a new revelation to 
the world and gave a worldwide lIes- 
son in moderation as well as humani- 
ty. It is the result of his just policy 
which returned to China the unex- 
pended portion of the indemnity paid 
to the United States for losses in the 
Boxer uprising. 
Practice.—Let each child determine 
that he will forgive the next offense 
against him.

Literature. 
Give a good deed the credit of a 
good motive and give an evil deed the 
benefit of the doubt.—Brander Mat- 
thews. 
Neither the evening nor the morning 
star is more beautiful than justice.— 
Aristotle. 
An hour of justice is worth seventy 
years of prayer.—Koran. 
| The moral law is written on the 
tablets of eternity. For every false 
word or unrighteous deed, for cruelty 
and oppression, for lust or vanity, the 
price has to be paid at last.—J. A. 
Froude. 
Justice is the fundamental virtue of 
social life—Thomas Davidson. 
Justice, sir, is the great interest of 
man on earth.—Daniel Webster. 
The path of the just is as a strong 
light that showeth more and more 
unto the perfect day.—Proverbs.
