Sinopsis
Excerpt from Lectures on the Book of Proverbs
When, however, such a gift is bestowed, it must, in order to its answering its end, be bestowed discreetly - not in any such way as is calculated to produce the impression Of selfishness, or vanity, or a mercenary spirit, on the part of him who receives it. It must, therefore, be a gift in se cret, not ostentatious not such as to bring credit to o selves, and attach meanness to the other party, - credit to us for generosity, - meanness to him for selfish cupidity. There may be cases, indeed, in which the offence has been public, and in which the gift may be a public acknowledg ment and public reparation. In such cases, publicity may be called for. But there must nothing be done that either implies on our part, or seems to impute on the other, aught that is hypocritical or dishonourable. All must be open and ingenuous,-all in simplicity and godly sincerity.

Excerpt from Lectures on the Book of Proverbs
"The doing, or executing of judgment is joy to the just, but destruction to the workers of iniquity." The just, when judgment is done, have no cause to fear: - it comes not upon them: "only with their eyes they behold, and see the reward of the wicked;" and they experience "joy," when it is just judgment that is executed, inasmuch as it promotes the safety and the happiness of society. And the "doing of judgment" by the Judge of all, which is ever according to perfect rectitude, is "joy to the just," as it brings glory to His name, and clears the moral universe of temptation and misery. But to "the workers of iniquity," the execution of judgment is anything but "joy." It is destruction; and the thought and anticipation of it, whether from man or from God, can engender only distress and fear. And the day of final judgment, while it shall be a day of "joy" to the just, will be the day of complete and irremediable destruction to the wicked.
Verse 16. "The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead." - While the preceding verse has reference to the "workers of iniquity" generally, and represents the execution of judgment as their "destruction;" this verse relates apparently to apostates from the right way - "the way of understanding;" those who for a time have walked in that way, under a profession of religion, and have abandoned it. Such there have been in every age; and of such it is here said, "they shall remain in the congregation of the dead."
