GOLDEN RULE

Golden Rule: Made of hard metal so it could stand severe wear, it not being known at that time that butter would answer.
- More Maxims of Mark, Johnson, 1927

What has become of the Golden Rule?
It exists, it continues to sparkle, and is well taken care of. It is Exhibit A in the Church's assets, and we pull it out every Sunday and give it an airing...It is strictly religious furniture, like an acolyte, or a contribution-plate, or any of those things. It is never intruded into business; and Jewish persecution is not a religious passion, it is a business passion.
- "Concerning the Jews"
