Chapter 5 The duties which we owe to all men are Justice and Charity

Be just is equivalent to-Do not hinder the development of any of thy fellow-men. Be charitable is equivalent to-Assist the development of thy fellow-men.

Under the head of charity the teacher will have occasion to speak not only of almsgiving, the visitation of the sick, and the like, but of the thousand charities of the fireside, of the charity of bright looks, of what may be called intellectual charity, which consists in opening the eyes of the mentally blind, and of the noblest charity of all, which consists in coming to the aid of those who are deep in the slough of moral despond, in raising the sinful and fallen.
