Subject: Lying. > Brooklyn, N. Y.—Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church, Hamburg avenue and Weirfield street, on the theme ‘“Lying.”” The Rev. Dr. I. W.. Henderson, pastor, took as his text Ex. 20:16; “Thou shalt not bear false witness against: thy neighbor. To cut the text down to four words and to make it come straight to the point and our own day, we will re- write it: ‘Thou shalt not lie.” In our time—whether because of the prevalence of the evil or not, I shall not attempt to say—the word lie seems to cause a shudder to run over the average human frame and to merit reprimand from many. Plain words, we are told, are too harsh, and besides, you know they aren't good form. The thief, be he weak enough to give us strength of cour- Tage so to do, we will generally name without the slightest hesitation, but we are slow to give any.man the lie. This desire to be proper and polite is all very well in its place. Harsh words are not necessary over points upon which we may hones I and rea- sonably disagree. Either or both of the parties-to a Si of ideas may be at fault. All men are fallible and prone to error and mistakes. None of us is infallible and most of us now and then remember things "that are not so, and make statem®ents that the facts will prove untrue. The. sharp answer is here very manifestly out of place. But the common liar who wi fully, deliberately, malicious- ly untruth should be branded as a En —and that in hot haste. The varieties of falsehood are like the shades of black—endless. But perhaps in no other place than our courts of law is the lie found more frequently or in a mcre vicious and abandoned form. The unbridled per- jury which takes place in our courts js really past belief. One would think that men wauld hesitate to swear in falsehoods under cover of God's name, but ary judge will tell vou that hundreds do. The infamous attacks upon men in our publi¢ life, the lies gigantic of our political campaigns, started with malign intent ‘to destroy trust in a candidate who is ‘heyond re- proach, are unworthy of a self-re- specting people and should be aban- doned. The unfounded attacks up- on the characters of good men, by editors who should be above such things, are not fair either to the at- tacked or to the intelligence of the writers. - The stories that are spread through financial centres in order to weaken nublic confidence in standard securities or to destroy public faith in the standing and solvency of indi- viduals, firms, or corpcrations, are pieces from the same cloth. They are clearly within the meaning of the text. No desire to give vent to spite, no satisfaction of a grudge, is sufficient excuse for any man to en- danger the happiness of other men or the health of his own soul. The jugglery of figures to prove balances, trade or profits that never did or will exist, is wrong; and the men who do it know it to be unmixed evil. The number of palpable false- hoods that are told in the business world is beyond compute. The de- sire to excel leads many a man to be- come exceedingly careless in his choice of words. The very advertise- ments of our day are self-confessed falsehoods. No one believes them half the time, for experience has proven the need to take them with a grain of salt. Palming off something ‘““just as good” which really isn’t;- selling adulterated food stuffs under the guise of pure supplies; unload- ing on the public veneers of all sorts as solid material throughout; the publishing of symptoms that may exist at intervals in the physical con- dition of any man, as the certain and unmistakable signs of the speedy de- struction of our bodies by incurable disease; these and a hundred more untruths may be charged against the liar. The great American sin of fal- sification by exaggeration and over- statement is too rife in our land. It bodes no good for respect for truth and it can and does do harm. In our social, or should I say so- ciety, life we find the seeds of false- hood also. The desire to seem to be more than we are makes many of us resort to means that are, at bot- tom, false. Simulation of position, wealth, character or wisdom that is not ours, is precarious business. Sooner or later the lie will down us and the truth will find us out. Be- fore we expect we may be caught. Who of us does not pretend to friend- ships which never did or will exist? Those little social catch words that slip so glibly from our tongues but that have no heart behind them, had just as well be left out of our vocab- ularies. The desire to say something that we do not feel, in order not to hurt, nakes many of us liars. It is not necessary to perjure oneself to . escape embarrassing predicaments. The sure way is to be silent. If you can’t speak the truth say nothing— or better turn the point of conversa- tion. Don’t be affected, for affecta- tion is a sham, and anyway the culti- vation of self is best. Of all the mean and despicable things in this world the lie that is born of malignant motives is the worst. The lie, like the opportunity that is passed, never can be called back. Spawn of an evil mind, it goes on a way of sin. Before its scorch- ing breath good reputations die, and in its wake sorrow, trouble and dis- trust are sure to lurk. Of all the mean things in this world the lie {s the most contemptible. Here as in other cases the popular mind is slow to perceive the truth behind a sentence. Men are not quick to carry principles to conclu- sions nearly half so extensive as logic will demand. The point-blank false- hood with intent to ruin reputation or to bulster up another lie is usu- ally what we think of first. Most of us are fairly quick to see and to go thus far. Dut is the lie from the spre by our topictor a tongue the only lle that does harm. Is the story of malignant falsehood which never stops the only sort of untruth that we should avoid and disdain? I think not. That knowing look, or that evasive answer, or that suspicion of a smile, which we all can use and have seen, all three are : parties to too frequent lies that we dare not utter. The knowing look has struck fear to many a trusting heart, The evasive answer has caught away the faith of not a few Dbe- lieving souls. That silent, quiet smile has shattered confidence in many a character ere this. ‘They say” and ‘‘some one told me so’ are the unholy parents of a godless host of lies. Here is a mother who has asked for good news of her boy, only to receive. that mean.and false eva- sive answer that leaves so much un- said and so much to be implied. The implication kills her trust. Here is the man who paints to you the virtue of a friend. You give to him that knowing look, as if to say, ‘“‘and- you, too, trust him, poor fool; and confidence is gone. The dainty maiden with her heart so full of love recounts to you the nobleness of the man she loves, and yeu give to her a smirk. Of course you've said noth- ing, perhaps you know nothing to contradict her view, you® and the light of her life is dimmed. Lies by congent, perhaj Is, falsehoods implication’ ne doubt they are; but before the judgment bar of God they shall be termed “unclean.” But thus far our.talk has largely nz: tive.

We cannot be untrae to self and true to men and. to God. Tha agreement of each man by and with himself, to be consistent with the demands. of his highest inner light is the basis of social credit. The power cf credit, that is to say, credibility or trustworthiness, can- not be too much remarked. Credit or the assurance we have of the hon- esty and reliability of individuals or companies of men, whether firms or nations, is the foundation upon which political systems are built. We could not do business nor conduct a government for a day were it not for this great and fundamental principle of human life: that ecredit—that is to say, honor and truth—must be maintained. For how long think you would the fabric of our state remain intact were mutual faith destroyed and credit given up? The elaborate business system to which we point with pride will be a wretched thing of the past so soon as personal and social honesty is removed. Imman- uel Kant regarded falsehood as ‘‘the forfeiture of human persomal worth, a destruction of personal integrity,” and another forceful thinker has de- clared that ‘‘credit rests on the gen- eral social virtue of truthfulness.” Truthfulness is necessary to the maintenance of personal integrity. Integrity is unity with our best ideals. To say it short—personal in- tegrity is the individual recognition of the necessity for personal unity— unity in personality if you will. The man of integrity is the man whose mind and heart and dctions are at one. His conscience is the arbiter of his deeds. Disintegration comes with the denial of the rights of con- science—that is to say, of the voice of reasonable truth. The disinte- grated man is a man without integ- rity, whose life is a jumble at the best or whose conscience and deeds when at their worst are disreputable and a discredit to self and society. Be true to self! Be yourself! Main- tain your personal integrity. Be a unified soul growing in the nuture of the Spirit into the stature of Christ. Thus only can personal truthful- ness be maintained and social credit be assured support. The best indi- vidual is the one whose integrity is unquestioned. The only sound gov- ernmental and political system is that which is rested upon that social credit which has its roots in personal unity with the truth of God. Moral Inability. What is the meaning of ‘dead in trespasses and sins?” We must take great care in our use of the illustra- tion of death in connection with sins! Physical death, of course, includes absolute insensibility, or else there would be nothing to which the evan- gelist could appeal and no conscious- ness of responsibility. What it does mean is moral inability. Man is so far gone from original righteousness that he is absolutely unable by his own unaided effort, without divine grace, to come back to God. Thus the sinner, so far as ability is con- cerned, needs, not merely an awaken- ing from slumber, but the bestowal of new life. Keep in view this distinction be- tween moral insensibility and moral inability, and apply the term ‘‘dead in trespasses and sins” to the latter. —Rev. W. H. G. Thomas, in London Christian. Wondrotfis Love. A repulsive-looking old woman who, after a life of unbelief, had been converted, became the subject of persecution at the hands of her godless neighbors. In every way they sought to anger or otherwise dis- turb the spirit of patience and loving- kindness that now possessed her. Finally an old persecutor, having exhausted all her resources in the at- tempt, venomously exclaimed, *'I think you're the ugliest old wocmai that I ever saw.” To which the old woman, her face beaming with a light that made her beautiful, replied in tears, ‘Wasn't it wonderful that He could have-loved an ugly old woman like me?” Where the Soul Refreshes Itself. There is a power in the peace God giveth of which the men who are rushing along the broad and dusty highway can form no conception.

More Blessed. “I have showed you all things, how that so laboring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how He said, it is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35). The world’s principle is that it is the most blessed thing in the world to receive, and to keep that which we.-have. The principles of principle from ‘that of the ruler of this world. It is a wonderful thing that this saying, though not recorded in the gospels by any of the evangelists, was thought worthy of record by Luke, who received it from the apos- tle Paul. This was the controlling principle of the life of Jesus, also of the life of the apostle Paul, who fol- lowed Jesus. It will be the control- ling principle of every one who is a Christian. We receive but to give, and the greatest joy in this world is to give. The greatest blessing comes in giving. My dear brother, do you know that one reason why your spiritual exper- ience is not clear and bright may be that you do not give as is your privil- ege? What a blessing would come to many who read this article if they were to give until it became a real sacrifice! During the week of prayer just past you may have had your heart drawn out in longing for the blessing of God, and yet it may be that you are closing. the channel to God’s blessing by not giving what God has given you. There are many calls. A blessing is in every one for those who give, and not only give, but sacrifice to give. Some one who reads this arti- cle could easily give $1000 and more to the various funds appealing for aid, and it would be a great blessing and joy to him. Others could give, by a. little effort, one-half that amount, and there are many who read this article who can give $100. My brother, my sister, you know whether you can do this.” He who gives will in return receive a greater blessing than hewoutd were some one to make him a present of that same amount.—Review and Herald. Growth Through Resistance. We cannot explain fully the use of temptation and trial. But we do know this, that the strongest and sweetest Christian characters have come to be what they are through great tribulations. The oak tree, when storm 5, only clings the tighter to the earth—sends its roots down deeper and lifts up itself to a larger growth. The storms did not make the tree do this, but the tree did_it to resist the storms. God’s Recompense. Do right and God's recompense to you will be the power of doing more right. Give, and God's reward to you will be the spirit of giving more, a blessed spirit, for it is the spirit of God Himself, whose life is the blessedness of giving. Love and God will pay you with the capacity of more love; for love is Heaven, love is God within you.—F. W. Robert- Son.

Nothing is so tangible as a vision; nothing is so enduring. Suggestions. It has been said that no hero of his- tory has owed so much to his mother as Moses did; but do we not all owe as much to our mothers? Of the three periods, of forty years each, in Moses’ life, the least event- ful, that in the land of Midian, was the most important. Every Christian of our days has a burning bush better than that of Moses—the Bible. Only an authentic record could re- late such wonders as Moses wrought, and at the same time make so evi- dent the weakness of Moses. Illustrations. The rod was for Moses a portable prolongation of the burning bush. Such, to the Christian, are Bible pas- sages committed to memory. It was not Jehovah who plagued the Egyptians. The plagues were only God's terrible signature, authenticat- ing the sentence which the Egyp- tians had written for themselves. As an athlete must strip off his infant. Ex. the wilderness.

Faroux, a French statistician, es- timates that about 530,000 motor cars have been manufactured in the nine years since the experiments of self- propelled road vehicles first-succeeded. These machines sold for more than a billion dollars. Until a year ago, France, the pioneer, led the world in the production of the motor vehicle. Now the United States has taken the lead. - According to M. Faroux the United States built 60,000 automobiles in 1906; France, 55,000; England, 28,- 000; Germany, 22,000; Italy, 19,000, and Belgium, 12,000. In 1901 the Unit- ed States built only 314 cars and that same year France built 23,711. There are 20,212 automobiles owned within 50 miles of the New York city hall. Cost of London Poor Relief. The expenditure on poor relief in London is now four millions sterling a year. During the year ended March 25, 1904, the sums expended by - the board of guardians in London exclusive of expenditure out of loans amounted to more than £4,500,000, of which nearly £3,900,000 was derived from the rates.

This particu- larly so where the removal or obliter- ating of wrinkles is the thing desired. Worry, ill health and neglect are po- tent foes to beauty, and they should be met by constant care and skilful manipulation by the masseuse. The object to be effected the strengthening of the muscles and the stimulation of the blood. Few women have the slightest idea of the struc- ture of the face, how the muscles are attached to the fundamental bone, the fatty and connecting tissues filling up the vacuum under the skin. We have to leave the bones as they are, but the muscles and the tissues“may be most successfully manipulated, so much of the beauty of the face de- pending on the fatty fibre overlaying the muscles. Any shrinkage brings wrinkles and flabbiness, and with careful massage we can increase the fat and improve the hue of the com- plexion also. It is the capillaries or blood vessels which are most minute, that help to produce healthy condi- tions. When these vessels do not act satisfactorily, then pimples and blotch- es come, flushings and much we are anxious to avoid. ‘Where the health is weak, massage combined with rest brings about wonderful results. A week in bed or a month, especially in cases of anaemia, is simply inval- uable, and in young women standing on the threshold of life it will often bring about a good state of health. But the rest must be accompanied by fresh air and sunshine, the room must be fresh and cool and the surround- ings cheerful. Massage will promote appetite and all the benefits of active exercise. There are certain don'ts to be ob- served in massage, but they are so few and remote as not to be danger- ous. The skin must not be stretched by it, nor the muscles overexerted. If there is superficial soreness the exercise should be. abandoned for a few days. Some skins, being thicker sthan others, require more forceful treatment, but this each must learn for herself. —Washington Star.
