That these are very reasonable requirements
will be conceded by all. That God could not require less
from those whom He is educating for the future judging
of the world, is evident; and yet, all three of these qualities

our neighbors, with the brethren, with our families,
with ourselves; that we shall seek to cultivate our
appreciation of the rights of others—their physical
rights, their moral and intellectual rights, their
liberties; and that, appreciating these, we shall in no sense of the
word abridge or deny them. |
