A well matched pair, alike In auiM
tlon and In falsehood, Ananias and
Sapphire. Tbey wanted a reputation
tor treat beneficence, and they sold all
their property, pretending to put the
entire proceeds In the charity fund
while they put much ot it In their own
pocket There was no necessity that
they give all their property away, but
they wanted the reputation ot so do
ing. Ananias first lied about It and
dropped down dead. Then Sapphire
lied about it, and she dropped down
dead. The two fatalities a warning to
all aM of the danger ot sacrificing
tbe truth.
There are a thousand of ways of
telling a He. A man's whole life may
be a falsehood, and yet never with hU
lips may he falsify once. There Is a
way of uttering a falsehood by look,
by manner, as well as by Hp. There
are persons who are guilty of dishon
esty of speech and then afterward asy
"maybe," calling It a white He when
no lie Is that color. The whitest He
ever told was as black as perdition.
There are those so glren to dishonesty
of speech that they do not know when
they are lying. With some It Is an ac
quired sin, and with others It Is a nat
ural Infirmity. There are thone whom
you will recognize as born liars. Their
whole life, from cradle to grave, la
filled up with vice of speech. Misrep
resentation and prevarication are as
natural to them as the Infantile dis
eases and are a sort of moral croup or
spiritual scarlatina.
Then there are those who in after
life have opportunities of developing
this evil, and tbey go from deception
to deception and from class to class,
aotll they are regularly graduated li
ars. At times the air in our cities is
Oiled with falsehood, and lies cluster
around tbe mechanic's hammer, blos
som on the merchant's yardstick and
sometimes sit In the doors of church
es. They are called by some fabrica
tion and they are called by some Ac
tion. Ton might call them subterfuge,
or deceit, or romance, or fable, or mis
representation, or delusion, but as I
know nothing to be gained by covering
ap a God defying sin with a leilcogra
pher's blanket, I shall call them In
plainest vernacular, lies. They may
be divided Into agricultural, commer
cial, mechanical, social and ecclesias
tical.
First of all, I speak of agricultural
falsehoods. There is something In the
preeeace of natural objects that ha a
tendency to make one pure. The trees
never Issue false stock. The wheat
Selds are always honest. Rye and
oats never move out la the night, not
paying for the place they occupy. Corn
shocks never make raise assignment.
Mountain brooks are always current.
The gold of the wheatfleld Is never
counterfeit. But while the tendency
of agricultural life Is to make one hon
est, honesty Is not the characteristic
of all who come to the city markets
from the country districts. Tou hear
the creaking of the dishonest farm
wagon In almost every street of our
great cities a farm wagon In which
there Is not one honest spoke, or one
truthful rivet, from tongue to tail
board. Again and again has domestic
economy In our great cities foundered
on the farmer's firkin. When New
Tork and Washington sit down and
weep over their sins, let Westchester
county and the neighborhoods around
this capital sit down and weep ovsr
theirs.
The tendency in all rural districts
is to suppose that sins and transgres
sions cluster in our great cities, but
citizens and merchants long ago team
ed that It la not safe to calculate from
the character of the apples on the top
of the farmer's barrel what is the
oharacter of the apples all the way
down toward the bottom. Many of
our cltisens and merchants have learn
ed that It la always safe to see the
farmer measure the barrel of beets.
Milk cans are not always honest, There
are those who In country life seem to
think they have a right to overreach
grain dealers and merchants of all
styles. They think It la more honora
ble to raise corn than to deal la corn.
The producer sometime practically
says to the merchant, "Tou get your
money easy, anyhow.1 Does he get it
easily? While the farmer sleeps and
he may go to sleep conscious of the
tact that hla corn aa4 rye are all the
time progressing and adding to his tor
tune or his livelihood the merchant
tries to aleep, while conscious ot the
fact that at that moment tbe ship may
be driving on the rock or a wave
sweeping over the hurricane deck
spoiling hla goods, or the speculators
may be plotting a monetary revolution,
or the burglars may be at that moment
at hla money safe, or the ore way
have kindled on the very block where
hla store stands.
Easy, la It? Let those who set their
living In the quiet farm and barn take
the plaoe of one of our city merchants
and see whether it, is so easy. It is
hard enough to have their hands blis
tered with, outdoor work, but it la
harder with mental anxiety to have
Ue brain oooaumed. Qod help the
marchaats. And do not let those who
live la country Ufa eoa to the coa- j
elusion that alt the dUhoaeaUe. be
long to city life.
k ease oa to consider commercial
lies, There are those who apologise
to deviation from the right and tor

Spark of bad temper flashes from the

other fortunes about which It may te
aald that on every doorknob and tn
every figure of the carpet and on eve y

What If the hand wrung by toll and
Mistered until the skla comes off

flrgers snd a thumb? Or If In the
night the man should be aroused from
his slumbers agala and again by his
own conscience, getting hlmseli cp on
elbow and crying out la ths darknesa,
"Who Is there?"
There are large fortunes upon which
Cod's favor comes down, and It Is Just
r honest and Juat aa Christian to be
r..7! .ent as It Is to be poor. In many
a house there Is a blessing on every
pictured wall and on every scroll and

J-y that flashes In the lights and that
rs In the music and that dances
n the quick feet of the children pat

, . v.ir of (od and the approval of man.
I Ar.il there are thousands and tens of
I thousands of merchants who, from the
j first day they sold a yard of cloth or
I firkin of butter, have maintained their
Integrity. They were born honest.
thoy will live bonest, and they will die
hone.rt. Rut you and I know that
there are In commercial life those who
ar ?tillty of great dishonesties of
rcf!fh. A merchsnt says, "I am soil
ing these goods at less than cost." Is
he getting for those goods a price In
ferior to that which he paid for them?
Then he has spoken the truth. Is he
Rotting more? Then he lies. A mer
chant says. "I paid 125 for this arti
cle." Is that the price he paid for It?
All right. But suppose he paid for It
$21 instead of $25? Then he llee.
lint there are just as many false
hood before the counter as there are
behind the counter. A customer comes
In and asks, "How much Is this arti
cle?" "It Is $5." "I can get that for
$4 somewhere else." Can be get It for
$4 somewhere else or did be say that
Just for the purpose of getting It chesp
by depreciating the value of the goods?
If so, he lied. There are Just as many
falsehoods before the counter ss there
are behind the counter.
A man unrolls upon the counter a
bale of handkerchiefs. The customer
says. "Are these all silk?" "Tea." "No
cotton In them?" "No cotton In them."
Are those handkerchiefs all silk? Then
the merchant told tbe truth. Is there
any cotton in them? Then he lied.
Moreover, he defrauds himself, for this
customer coming la will after awhile
find out that he has been defrauded,
and the next time be comes to town
and goea shopping he will look up st
that sign and say: "No, I won't go
there; that's the place where I got
those handkerchiefs." First, the mer
chant Insulted God, and. secondly, he
picked bis own pocket.
Who would take the responsibility
of saying how many falsehoods were
yesterday told by hardware men, and
clothiers, and lumbermen, and tobac
conists, and Jewelers, and Importers,
and shippers, snd dealers in furniture,
and dealers In coal, and dealers In
groceries? Lies about buckles, about
saddles, about harness, about shoes,
about hats, about coats, about shovels,
about tongs, about forks, about chairs,
about sofas, about horses, about lands,
about everything. I arraign commer
cial falsehoods as one of the crying
sins of our time.
I pass on to speak ot mechanical
falsehoods. Among the artisans are
those upon whom we are dependent for
the houses In which we live, the gar
ments we wear, the cars in which we
tide. The vast majority of them are,
so far as I know them, man who speak
the truth, and they are upright, and
many of them are forwnost In great
philanthropies and In churches, but
that they all do not belong to that
class every ane knows. In times when
there is a great demand for labor it is
not so easy for such men to kep their
obligations, because they may miscal
culate in regard to the weather or
they may not be able to get the help
they anticipated In their enterprise. I
am speaking now of those who promise
to do that which they know they will
not be able to do. They say they will
come on Monday. They do not come
until Wednesday. They say they will
come on Wednesday. They do not
come until Saturday. They say they
will have the job done in tea days.
They do not get it done before 30. And
when a man becomes Irritated and
will not stand U any longer then they
go and work for him a day or two and
keep the job along, and then some one
else gets Irritated and outraged, and
they go and work for that man and get
him pacified and then they go some
where else. I believe they call iutt
"nursing a job."
Ah, my friends how much dishon
or such men would save their souls it
they would promise to do only that
which tbey know they can do! "Oh,"
they say, "it's of no Importance. Ev
erybody expect to be deceived and dis
appointed." Sotlal lite Is struck through with in
sincerity. They apologise for tbe fact
that the furnace Is out; tbey have no
had any Or la It all winter. Tbey
apologise for the tare oa their table;
they never live any better. They de
cry their most luxuriant entertainment
to wla a shower ot approval from you.
Tbey point at a picture oa the wall aa
a work ot one ot the old maatera. They
aay It la an heirloom in tbe family. It
hung oa the walla ot a castle. A duke
gave It to their graadfathet! People
that will 11 about nothing els will

ciety Is become so contorted and de
formed In this respect thst a mountain
abln where tbe rustics gather at a
lulltlng or an apple paring has in It
more good cheer thaa all the frescoed
refrigerators of the metropolis.
I pass on to speak of ecclesiastical
lies, those which are told for tbe ad
vancement or retarding of a church or
ect. It Is hardly worth your while to
esk an exfreme Calvaalst what an Ar
mlnlsn believes. He will tell you that
tn Armlnlan believes that man can
ave himself. An Armlnlan believes
no such thing. It Is hardly worth
rour while to ask an extreme Armlnl
tu what a Calvanlst believes. He will
tell you that a Calvanlst believes that
OoJ made some men Just to damn
them. A Calvanlst bellevee ao such
thing. It Is hardly worth your while
to aak a Pedo-Baptlst what a Baptist
bellevee. He will tell you that a Bap
tist believes that immersion Is neces
sary for salvation. A Baptist does not
believe any such thing. It Is hardly
worth your while to ask a man who
very much hates Presbyterians what
Presbyterian believes. He will tell
rou that a Presbyterian believes that
there are Infants In hell a span long,
ind that very phraseology comes down
from generation to generation In the
Christian church. There never was a
Presbyterian who believed that. "Oh.'
rou say. "I heard some Presbyterian
minister to years ago say so." You
lid not. There never was a man who
believed that. There never will be a
man who will believe that. And yet
from boyhood I have heard that par
ticular slander against a Christian
:hurch going down through the com
munlty.
Then, how often it Is that there are
mlarepresentatlona on the part of In
llvldual chnrches m regard to other
churches, especially If a church comes
to great prosperity. As long as a
-hurch Is in poverty and tbe singing
Is poor, snd all the surroundings are
iecreplt, and the congregation are so
hardly bestead In life that their pastor
goes with elbows out, then there will
always be Christian people In church
js who say, "What a pity; what a
pity!" But let the day of prosperity
some to a Christian church and let the
music be triumphant, and let there be
vast assemblages, and then there will
be even ministers of the gospel crttl-
:al and denunciatory and full of mis
representation and falsification, giv
ing tbe impression to the outside world
that they do not like the corn because
it Is not ground in their mill. Oh, my
friends, let us In sll departments of
life stand back from deception.
But some one says, "The deception
that I practice la so small that it
ioean't amount to anything." Ah. my
friends, it does amount to a great deal.
You say, "When I deceive, it is only
tbout a case of needles or a box of
buttons or a row of pins." But the
iitlcle may be so small you can put it
In your vest pocket, but tbe sin la aa
big as the pyramids, and the echo of
rour dishonor will reverberate through
the mountains of eternity. There is
no such thing aa a small sin. They
ire all vast and stupendous, because
tbey will all have to come under in
spection in the day of Judgment. You
may boast yourself of having made a
fine bargain sharp bargain. You
may carry out wbat the Bible says n
regard to that man who went la to
make a purchaae and depreciated the
value of the goods, and then after he
bad got away boasted of the splendid
bargain he had made. "It is naught,
it is naught, naith the buyer, but wnen
he is gone his way then he boaateth."
It may seem to the world a sharp bar
gain, but the recording angel wrote
down in the ponderous tomes of eter
nity, "Mr. So-and-eo, doing business on
Pennsylvania avenue or Broadway or
Chestnut street or State street, told
one He."
May God extirpate from society all
the ecclesiastical lies, and all tbe so
cial llee, and all the mechanical lies,
and all tbe commercial Ilea, and ail
the agricultural lies, and make every
man to speak the truth of his neigh
bor. My friends, let us make our life
correspond to what we are. Let ue
banish all deception from our behav
ior. Let ua remember that the time
comes when God will demonstrate be
fore an assembled universe Juet wnat
we are. The secret will come out. W
may hide It while we live, but we can
not hide It when we die. To many

softly, supposing that they had obtained

fallow prisoner (Acts xlx, W; Cot It, 10),
Is now a mm on his way to Roma Tbey
tooehed at Sldom and thanes near Cyprus
to Myra on the mam land of Lyeta, to Asia

of Alexandria bound for Italy, and after
many days of slow sailing rounded the eaat

en the south onset of Crete, Her they

ot to venture farther on aonoant of the
