' In tbe command, "Judge not," tbere
can, of course, be no Allusion to official
judgment, or to thcjuiere formation of
opinion. It is something into npetliate
between these something neitber un
avoidable, like personal opinion nor
obligatory, liku tbqse P$cial judgments
which arc pronounced by persons au-
tborized to do so for the good of socie-
ty What is implied is exactly those
fault-findings which arc not required
by personal obligation or public ty.
Thev are cratuitous and needless, and
on this account they imply more $jan
folly or thoughtlessness hi the tttlip

being needless, they show a desire to
fasten imputations on those who might
otherwise go uhblamed. j

the motive is a low and pontemptiblc

with a look of injured excellence at
finding the sinner qb4urate an4 resent
ful, whey h sjmply asserts bs rights
by repelling a meddlesome interference
with his conscience and hjs affairs, . ?
One of the commonest forms of the
fault is the practice pf pyi speaking, I

Ifhere id another form of tle yice,
that of pasting suspicion, whjpji is

his hlfrway charge, his

But it. works a nicf tp society.
In a geqeral and most lamentable way,
it works a gradual influence., tft
the standard of good feeling an,c mu.
tual esteem all through the ranks of
social life This one tells of this
fault, that one of that, and another of
still another. To-day you hear some
thine to the detriment of one man's
character ; to-mbrrow something against
a second,! and the next day against a

to be ( despised and $liked, and put

third goes through he. same lowering
process.
In this way there, is continual
power brought to bear o depress the
scale of mutual esteem, break ties of

it to tfte drink j they bad taken, amd
upon investigation fpnud - that by mis-

Frorp, U that we can glean, the harm
done is neither extensive nor great.

by tbe individual case. If one man's

general ruin -r if another's loss is slight
he is, sur.cno serious damage wjlresuJ.V
So, modifiod by indiyi0! CQiiditious,

injury is so great and so. general as U
