In an excellent article, the Sunday School Times says, "Any soul that approaches a moral question with one on his lips starts fatally wrong." And this is doubtless true in the sense intended — the self one. But if that one be Christ, is it fatal? Or if that one be the other man, is it fatal? He who seeks his own "rights" seeks selfishly. He who seeks successfully the "rights" of his neighbor secures his own. The government that conserves the rights of the one, conserves in that one the rights of all, but that one is truly generic, not special.
