Of all the spirits, I believe the spirit of judging is the worst, and it has had the rule of me, I cannot tell you how dreadfully and how long. . . . This, I find has more hindered my progress in love and gentleness than all things else. I never knew what the words, \”Judge not that ye be not judged,\” meant before; now they seem to me some of the most awful, necessary, and beautiful in the whole Word of God.
