“MAN’S inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn.” Because the world misuses and maltreats us, should we return it to them in kind? May we become morose and sour and crabbed? Is it wise to “get square,” to retort, and be revengeful? Jesus, having loved his own, loved them unto the death. For curses he gave blessings; for buffetings and scourgings he gave love. He prayed for the forgiveness of his persecutors — pleading that they did not know what they did. The world, and the church as well, is full of ingratitude. It does evil for good, it does not appreciate, it neglects its faithful servants, and speaks evil of them. What shall they do? Render railing for railing, be vindictive, severe, and retaliate? — By no means. If they smite you on one cheek, turn to them the other also; if they take your coat, give them your cloak; if they compel you to go a mile, go with them twain. Never think of rendering evil for evil. Good for evil is the thing; and the more evil the more good. This is not natural? — By no means. Timon, of Athens, is an ideal of Shakespeare, but not of the Holy Ghost. Jesus of Nazareth is His model, His ideal man. He is our pattern, our example. His is to take of the things of God, and make them known unto us. He teaches us all things. — The King’s Messenger.
