Judge Not

"JUDGE NOT". (For the Improvement Era.) "Judge not," the gentle Master said, And heaven's glory round him spread; ' 'Forgive," he cried, and on his face Fell full the holy light of grace; "Let him who sins not, cast a stone." The vengeful left their prey alone; "Go sin no more, I don't condemn," Oh, blessed words! God prompted them. How then shall we, so frail and weak, Against our kin the judgment speak, When he reached out his hand to bless The sinner in his wickedness? Keep back the curse, let mercy in, For mercy is to justice twin; And God will smile on him alone Who stoops to help an erring one, New York, N. Y. Harold Goff.
