These are now the moral laws which control and guide the destinies of entire races, whole generations.

There must have been a good reason for these laws or they could never have come into being.

Society does not adopt many unnecessary rules, but among the vital laws _honesty stands out in bold relief_.

It has become deeply imbedded in the minds of mankind that everyone must be true to himself.

It is taken for granted that those who are not would naturally be _false to everybody_.
The reason for this lies in the fact that society will not proceed with any course of action without being able to trust its members.
