The Mantle of Charity

By Presbyterian

No common phrase is more abused than this, "the mantle of charity." Coleridge said, that "since we are in fault the scales in final judgment may be balanced unexpectedly as to some." Notwithstanding the good name of many suffers through gossip and slander, yet the fruits must decide the nature of the tree. Men often quote the words, "Charity covereth a multitude of sins," but this, or anything like it, cannot be found in the Bible. James 5 : 20 tells us that he who secures the saving of a soul wins the praise above quoted. The motto is abused by false tenderness toward real sins.—Presbyterian.
