Excerpt from The Practice of ChristianityMany virtues are required for the support of evil causes. Goodness must consist in what makes a man not only a good instrument but an instrument of good. Our Lo..l's unique goodness consisted not more in loyalty of will than in insight into God's will. His loving kindness gave Him this insight. In His criticism of life jesus csalts natural kindness and trustfulness as the foundation of all goodness. Distinction between a good and bad heart simple and instinctive. We do not make good-heartedness equival t to goodness because we think it could not succeed in the world: our Lord believed it to be the regulative virtue necessary to give all others survival value. But tender-heartedness cannot prevail till our present customs of thought are destroyed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
