Judge Nothing.

The best have their failings, and the worst may have something worthy of esteem. Good men also have enemies, and bad men are not without their friends. Even the grave of the vile Nero, over whose death all Rome rejoiced, was covered with flowers by some unknown but loving hand. Learn then not to worship the best, nor despise the worst, of our race. “Honor all men” as the creatures of the Most High; and though all have sinned, it is not for babes like us to climb the awful judgment-seat of God, and deal damnation upon others, who may err or go astray. Knowing our own hearts, with all their sins, and needs, and sorrows, we may well extend to all around that pitying charity which we have so greatly needed, and which God has so freely given.—Christian.
