Law People Balance

More From Dwight L. Moody

My position is that the rate should align with the level of economic development. because it is always about a balance, a balance of interests, and it should reflect this balance. a balance between those who sell something across the border and those who benefit from a low rate, as well as a balance between the interests of those who buy, who need the rate to be higher. a balance between national producers, for example, agricultural producers who are interested in it.
Balance Example Borders
The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.

A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of god. an unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. to put it in the terms of saint thomas aquinas, an unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal and natural law.

Equity is a roguish thing. for law we have a measure, know what to trust to; equity is according to the conscience of him that is chancellor, and as that is larger or narrower, so is equity. 't is all one as if they should make the standard for the measure we call a "foot" a chancellor's foot; what an uncertain measure would this be! one chancellor has a long foot, another a short foot, a third an indifferent foot. 't is the same thing in the chancellor's conscience.
Law Feet Long
God does not weigh criminality in our scales. we have one absolute, with the seal of authority upon it; and with us an ounce is an ounce, and a pound a pound. god's measure is the heart of the offender,--a balance which varies with every one of us, a balance so delicate that a tear cast in the other side may make the weight of error kick the beam.
