The Universal Law

                                        Ecclesiastes 7:22
                  "For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth
                     that thou thyself likewise has cursed others."

         The appeal to a man’s own conscience is this.  The fact that we often speak ill of others should make us less open to take offense at what is said of ourselves, and prepared to expect unfavorable comments. The Lord has said, "Judge not, that ye be not judged." "For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again" (Mat 7:1, Mat 7:2). This is the universal law.  "Who is he," I ask,, "that has not offended with his own tongue?"
        It is not a sign of weakness to meet hostile treatment, by not striking back with the tongue; because within mercifully some things are more quickly dismissed from our hearts if we know our own misdemeanors against our neighbors. When we reflect what we have been towards others, we would be less concerned how others should be towards ourselves; "because the injustice of another avenges in us, what our conscience justly accuses in itself"
        Amen!!
