Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lady of the Manor, Vol. 3 of 4: Being a Series of Conversations on the Subject of Confirmation, Intended for the Use of the Middle and Higher Ranks of Young Females Ninth Commandment. - Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy Neighbour. "The offences of the tongue, and the proper management of this little member, is the subject, my dear young people, to which we are this day led by the commandment that is now to be considered," said the lady of the manor, looking affectionately round on her young friends, who were once more gathered about her. "This precept, viz. ´Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour,´ is of extensive signification, and not only forbids actual falsehoods and intentional misrepresentations, but all exaggerations and careless misstatements even of the slightest facts. And hence the best of persons have found, that, inasmuch as that every one is liable to misconceptions, the safest and surest way to prevent any breaches of the ninth commandment, is, to avoid much mention of their neighbours´ concerns, and all unnecessary interferences with the affairs of others. "The scourges and lashes of the tongue," proceeded the lady of the manor, "have, no doubt, their use in society, and have been employed, and still are so, in checking gross evils, and bringing secret sins to light; though, at the same time, they are full as often the instruments of evil as of good; and, at any rate, they belong not to the panoply of Christian warfare thus described by the Apostle. - Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day and, having done all, to stand.
