Those who break them must abide the consequences; and yet these laws are entirely compatible with Divine love.

Any escape from the consequences of bad actions only tempts to further crime. This is emphatically the case with children. A teacher's indulgence...
עמוד 159 - Scatter diligently in susceptible minds The germs of the good and the beautiful! They will develop there to trees, bud, bloom, And bear the golden fruits of Paradise.
