y appear and give an account for the deeds
done in the body, or in this life.

The rich man's fraudulent deeds toward his servants is taken account of in
heaven: "Behold, the hire of the laborers who have reaped down your
fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them
which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth." Jas.
5:4.

Duty Of Servants To Their Masters.

Servants should honor and respect their masters: "Let as many servants as
are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the
name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed." 1 Tim. 6:1. Especially
are they to reverence them if they are believers: "And they that have
believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren;
but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved,
partakers of the benefit." 1 Tim. 6:2.

Servants are under obligation to obey their masters: "Servants, be
obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear
and trembling, in singleness of your heart as unto Christ." Eph. 6:5. The
servant's service to his master should not be wholly for the hire. He
should not fear to do him ill service because of not receiving his wages,
but his service should be in singleness of heart--an honest, upright
purpose--as unto Christ.

They should seek to please their masters: "Exhort servants to be obedient
unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things." Titus 2:9.
They are to be subject to them: "Servants, be subject to your masters with
all fear: not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward." 1
Pet. 2:18. Servants are to do good service and not defraud their masters,
and thus adorn the doctrine of God. "Not purloining, but showing all good
fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all
things." Titus 2:10. The word "purloin" is from the Greek word
"_nosphizomai_," and means "to hide or to secrete, to steal." In this text
it would include the idling away of time that belonged to the master.

We believe we have done justice to the subject of "Domestic Relationship."
In conclusion we would be pleased to set before you a picture, not to be
excelled in sublimity, sacredness, elevation of character, or soul
inspiration by anything on earth. "For thou shalt eat the labor of thine
hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. Thy wife shall
be as a fruitful vine by the sides
