149. 5. In this form, each one is a good of use in accordance with the scope of his office or employment.

Charity is nothing else than the affection of truth from good, and the affection of truth from good is the affection of use. For unless the affection of truth from good is brought into act, it perishes; and an act therefrom is a use.
