Censoriousness Who Most Guilty Of – Charles H Spurgeon

Pedley, who was a well-known natural simpleton, was wont to say, ‘God help the fool.’ None are more ready to pity the folly of others than those who have a small share of wit themselves. ‘There is no love among Christians’ cries the man who is destitute of true charity. ‘Zeal has vanished,’ exclaims the idle talker. ‘O for more consistency,’ groans out the hypocrite. ‘We want more vital godliness,’ protests the false pretender. As in the old legend, the wolf preached against sheep-stealing, so very many hunt down those sins in others which they gladly shelter in themselves.
