Are We Just?

By A. E. Place

"THE path of the just is as the shining light." The just man is "just before he is generous." He can never be generous with that which belongs to another.
The just man does not spend money of which he is steward, where or when he would not spend his own.
The just man is as careful of the property or reputation of his neighbor or brother as he is of his own.
The just man is a light in the world. His life seems ever to be saying, "Let there be light," and darkness flees, and the pathway is light.
The consciousness of being just in all our dealing, floods the very soul with light and joy, and lifts it to the higher life.
The just man is a divine dynamo, in fact a complete electric plant, whose light never goes out.
Are we just, or is our path still dark? If dark, let us pray to touch a "live wire," that the dynamo may move.
