God is Judge.

By R. F. Cottrell

Some people trouble themselves about what will be done with the mass of men—how justice can be administered to men of so different and various dispositions of mind, arising from the difference in their phrenological organization. If they could see how the Judge of the earth could solve this difficulty, perhaps they would seek God. And they seem to think their own disposition will in justice excuse them from any responsibility in regard to their future destiny.

To such I would say, You need not fear that the Creator of all has not wisdom enough to judge mankind in righteousness. Do not concern yourself on this point. God asks you to turn to him and be saved. You can, if you will. And your responsibility begins and ends with your own individual case. If you will see to that, God will take care of the rest. Will you turn to him and live, or will you refuse because you are unable to judge the world, and die?
