The eighth commandment reads, "thou shalt not steal." it does not read, "thou shalt not steal from the rich man." it does not read, "thou shalt not steal from the poor man." it reads simply and plainly, "thou shalt not steal."

First shalt thou take out the holy pin. then shalt thou count to three, no more-no less. three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. five is right out. once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy holy hand grenade of antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.

All of the ten commandments that are good were old; all that were new art foolish. if jehovah had been civilized he would have left out the commandment about keeping the sabbath, and in its place would have said: "thou shalt not enslave thy fellow-men." he would have omitted the one about swearing, and said: "the man shall have but one wife, and the woman but one husband." he would have left out the one about graven images, and in its stead would have said: "thou shalt not wage wars of extermination, and thou shalt not unsheathe the sword except in self-defence.

Beneficence is a duty. he who frequently practices it, and sees his benevolent intentions realized, at length comes really to love him to whom he has done good. when, therefore, it is said, "thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," it is not meant, thou shalt love him first and do him good in consequence of that love, but, thou shalt do good to thy neighbor; and this thy beneficence will engender in thee that love to mankind which is the fulness and consummation of the inclination to do good.
Practice Done Charity
O lord, thou knowest that which is best for us; let this or that be done, as thou shalt please. give what thou wilt, how much thou wilt, and when thou wilt. deal with me as thou thinkest best. place me where thou wilt, and deal with me in all things just as thou wilt. behold, i am thy servant, prepared for all things: i desire not to live unto myself, but unto thee; and oh, that i could do it worthily and perfectly!
