RIGHTEOUS ANGER
“ There is a widespread idea that a really good man is never angry. It is quite a mistake, Christ, we know, was angry with the Scribes and Pharisees,” said the Rev. W. R. Matthews, Dean of St. Paul’s, in a recent address. “Anger is wrong when it is just the reaction of wounded pride. It is right when it is directed against evil and injustice. Bishop Butler said that a good man ought to feel ‘indignation against successful vice.’ Surely he was right. Anyone who does not feel angry about treachery is less than a man."
