iGood News His 10 be just, honest tod kiad in 1kdrMiip?ttotkefi. DwtsnmyltlMi *' God it impartial in the administration yi justice. He requires His children to inflow His example in this respect He wants thone who are elected to civil <rf *e?s to be fair, impartial and just in the administration of affairs whether they are on the municipal, county, state or national level. All governments officials should have such high and firm principles as to cause them to retrain from injustice, partiality, corruption and bribery. One fundamental principle in good government is the equality of all citizens before the law. The rich are not entitled to an unfair advantage over the poor when they are brought to trial in the courts of the land. There is a dire need today of more and better teaching in our homes, schools and churches on the impotance of God's law ;of equality and of the necessity for justice. God is vitally concerned that minorities enjoy justice rather than be the victims of grave injustices as is frequently their lot in life. DeotoronomyM: 10-15 In the event that one should lend another a sum of money, and cir cumstances make it impossible for him to repay itukk been agreed upon, but be offered some tangible property as a pawn until be could pay it, the one making the loan was forbidden to go into the bone of the other and take out a pleflge. y If the ooe who bad procured the loan delivered the pledge, it was permissible to accept it, but be was instructed to return K by sundown if it were needed by the borrower. Mercy and kindness must be shown to persons in need and in distress. It is right that some should possess wealth and that others should work for them. Inasmuch as all do not have equal ability to handle wealth, those who finance booorable business enterprises are entitled to be recognized as the benefactors of those who are employed by them. Both employer and employee have their place in the plan of God. It is God's will that both shall be governed by the principle of considerateness. Neither has any right to exploit the other. God's Word forbids an employer to oppress an employee. The fact that an employee is poor and needy never justifies an employer taking advantage of him. Each must deal justly with the other. Neither is permitted to take advantage of the other. What a pity that so much of modern industry had degenerated into a grim struggle between those who work and those for whoa they labor, with each trying to squeeie out of the other as much as possible. Greed and godlessneas are sinful whether they are in the employer or the employee. De*enaoayM:lMf Through Moses, God forbade the people to prevert the justice which was due to the less fortunate. He exhorted them to sympathize with and to show mercy and kindness to those in trouble, somewhat as He had done in His deliverance of them from slavery in Egypt. One way in which they could do this was by leaving in their fields, at the time when the grain was harvested, a portion for the widows, orphans and strangers. Another requirement of them was that, when the olive trees were stripped of the fruit that was ripe, the remaining olives which they had overlooked were to be left for the needy to gather and use. These expressions of mercy and kind ness were very important, and those who wanted to please God were careful to Perform them. Justice calls for a genuine concern for the well-being of others.
