"when man goM beyond that

right or wrong on man's part are
wTapped up in man's relation to
his brother. When man interferes
with his brother'b happiness he
goes beyond that which is right.
The brother's happinecp or un-1
happiness resulting from the
man's act determines the right or

is secondary. You can't proceed
