The Judgment Court and Its Advocate

There is another court now in session. There is a Judge, not of earth, sitting upon the judgment seat. There is no appeal from that court’s decisions; they are final. The law which will be the standard of judgment has not been framed to multiply technicalities, but to make duty plain and to reprove and rebuke all transgression of its sacred precepts. There are no “criminal lawyers,” or “insanity experts,” or special pleaders of any sort at that court. There is one Advocate for all. He honors and upholds the law, and He pleads for every soul who desires reformation, pleads to the effect that justice may be satisfied, and the truly repentant criminal justified.
