Mercy and Justice in Christian Teaching

MERCY and justice have met in Christ. It is only in those who have the mind of Christ that they can again meet. To deal with children in exact justice, and yet with perfect mercy, requires the gift of heaven. But it is a free gift, one which every teacher should take. With it we may be able to deal with the greatest possible care, and yet with all necessary firmness, and to expect and require obedience, and yet to hold the confidence of the erring one, so that the righteousness of our requirements may be appreciated. The Christian teacher should appreciate his unlimited possibilities.
