132 CONSCIENTIOUSNESS.
are natural theologians, and take the highest pleasure in
reasoning and conversing upon all things haying a moral
and religious bearing; with Veneration average, and Beney-
olence large or very large, can not well help being thorough-
going reformers, cect.
LARGE.—Love the right as right, and hate the wrong
because wrong; are honest, faitaful, upright in inotive; mean
well; consult duty before expediency ; feel guilty when con-
scious of having done wrong; ask forgiveness for the past,
and try to do better in the future; with strong propensities, -
will sometimes do wrong, but be exceedingly sorry therefor;
and, with a wrong education added, are liable to do wrong,
thinking it right, because these propensities warp conscience,
yet mean well; with large Cautiousness, are solicitous to know
what is right, and careful to do it; with weaker Cautiousness,
sometimes do wrong carelessly or indifferently, yet after-
wards repent it; with large Cautiousness and Destructiveness,
are severe on wrong-doers, and unrelenting until they evince
penitence, and then cordially forgive; with large Approba-
tiveness, keep the moral character pure and spotless—value
others on their morals more than wealth, birth, etc., and make
their word their bond ; with large Benevolence, Combativeness,
and Destructiveness, feel great indignation and_ severity
against oppressors, and those who cause. others to suffer by
wronging them; with large Ideality, have strong aspirations
after moral purity and excellence; with large reasoning
organs, take great pleasure, and show much talent in reason-
ing upon and investigating moral subjects, ete.
FULL.—Have good conscientious feelings, and correct gen-
eral intentions, yet are not quite as correct in action as inten-
tions; mean well, yet wifh large Combativeness, Destructive-
ness, Amatiyeness, etc., may sometimes yield to these facul-
ties, especially if the system is somewhat inflamed; with
large Acquisitiveness, make very close bargains, and will
take such advantages as are common in business, yet do not_
intend to wrong others out of their just dues, still have more
regard for money than justice; with large intellectual organs,
love to reason upon subjects where right and duty are
involved, yet too often take the ground of expediency, and
fail to allow right its due weight; and should neyer allow
conscience to be in any way weakened, but cultivate it
assiduously. : :
