The Moral Duty of Doing Good

By Editor

MORALITY is not all there is of religion, but it is a good part of it. By this we mean not the negative morality which avoids outbreaking sins, but the positive morality of doing good to others. Christ says that, in the Judgment day, the lost will be condemned for not doing beneficent acts, like visiting the sick and suffering, and that the saved will be rewarded for doing just this active benevolence. Perhaps we err in not making enough of good works.
