*' 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.

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.

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.
