ABSTRACT

The manor woman who fully realises the true action of mind in its relation to brain-working and to hereditary law, will always put a point of interrogation in the direction of charity, when discussing the conduct of his fellow-creatures. For the good of society the law assumes as the basis of its enactments that all men have the inherent power to do certain things and avoid other things which would be inconsistent with the well-being of society. The assumption of complete responsibility may be so far necessary for an organised civilised society, even if not true as a fact, but the limitations and exceptions must be taken into account. The man or the woman who falls into the way of a universal censure of all their neighbour's faults and failings is not only devoid of Christian charity, but is probably in an unhealthy condition of brain, which accounts for this physiological uncharitableness.
