ANALYSIS
1. TBa GOLDEN RULE, v. 12.
11. THE FINAL TEST, Vs. 1547.
INTaonyomioal-This chapter touches
on the duties which a true disciple of
Jesus owes o his neighbor. Among
these dt'_ties a first place is given to a
generous feeling toward theis, while:
a severe judgment is passed upon the
habit of unloving criticism. It is, of
q"onr•Se, necessary for us to exercise
our power of judgment, and we cannot
help but feel the distinction. between
right and wrong; but Jesus is here
condemning the censorious spirit;
which is unfortunately very widely
spread. An old writer . n this subject
gave three excellent rules: (1) Judge
not without necessity; (2) judge not
without knowledge; (8) judge not
without love.
L THD GOLDEN RULE, v. 12.
V. 12. This so-called "Golden Rule"
is a law fit for universal application,
and we night say that society will be
getting near its final form, if this had
become the rule' by which each one
guided his life. If, before we did any-
thing to others, we stopped, and put
ourselves into their position, rnd de-
cided to do to them what we -would
like to have others do to us, then the
worries and troubles of the world
would be greatly reduced, If business
and government and family life were
run on this principle, we would have

ways." Life is likened to different
roads. One road is wide and attrac-
tive. It seems to offer many pleasures
and other inducements, but it leads to
ruin. ' It is the way of injustice, sheer
pleasure and intemperance. The other
road is the path of virtue, of temper -
since and of goodness, but it is narrow
and difficult at first. However, it
ieads to a noble goal, foe it brings
one to the fulness of life.
V. 15. "The Two Trees," It was
Very natural that Jesus should wish
to warn his disciples` against other
'teachers, who set forth doctrines that
tended to undermine character and
truth. There were many who went
about seeking to induce their hearers
to fallow that which was not good,
dust as today there are many who
set forth false teaching. AL kinds of
Ideas get into circulation. In the maga-
zines, in popular novels and papers
-we find advocates of strange kinds of
beliefs, and practice. We may notice,
