Will servants have to account to God for the manner in which they serve their masters on earth?--A. Yes." Mr. Jones thus expounds the tenth commandment ("Catechism," pp. 118-120):-- "Q. How does God require me to love my neighbor?--A. As myself. Q. Ought I not therefore to be glad when I see him have and enjoy every good thing?--A. Yes. Q. But suppose I am _not glad_, and desire the very things he has, and begrudge his having them, what do I?--A. I covet. Q. Is it not my duty to be contented with such things as I have, without coveting what my neighbor has?--A. Yes.
