Wabhinoton, Oct. 24.—Dr. Talniaffo
in this discourse ^ives a vivid classifica
tion of the vices of speech uu<l pleads
for houesty in all that is said and done.
His text is Acts v. 1-10, “A certain
mail named Ananias, with Sapphira his
vrtft. sold a possession, ” etc.
A well match* <1 pair, alike in ambi
tion and in falsehood, Ananias and
Sap'hint! They wanted a reputation
for :^rcat NsK ficeuce, and they sold all
their property, pretending to put tho
entire proceeds in the charity fund,
while they put much of it in their own
poeb’t. There was no necessity that
they give all their property away, but
tiny wanted tho reputation of so doing.
Antmins first lied almut it and dropped
down dead. Then Sapphira lied about
it, pud sho dropped down dead—the
two fatalities a warning to all ages of
the danger of sacrificing the truth.
There are thousands of ways of tell
ing a He. A man’s whole life may he a
falsehood and yet never with his lips
may ho falsify onoe. There is a way of
uttering falsehood by look, by manner,
as well as by lip. There are persons
who are guilty of dishonesty of speech
and then aftenvard say “may bo,’’ cull
ing it a white lie, when no Ho is that
color Tho whitest lie ever told was as
blafck ns perdition. There are those so 1
givts to dishonesty of speech that they
do pht know when they are lying. With
some it is an acquired sin, and with
otheis it is a natural infirmity There
are hose whom yon will recognize as
born liars. Their whole life, from cra
dle ti> grave, is filled up with vice of
spet h Misrepresentation and prevari-
catfyi are as natural to them as the in
fantile diseases and are a sort of moral
croiip or spiritual scarlatina.
Ttm there are those who in after
life save opportunities of developing
this evil, and they go from decep
tion to deception and from class to
class until they arc regularly graduated
liars. At times tho air iu our cities is
filled with falsehood and lies cluster
around the mechanic’s hammer, blos
som on tho merchant’a yardstick and
sometimes sit in tho doors of churches.
They are called by some fabrication,
and they arc called by some fiction.
Yon might call them subterfuge or de
ceit or romance or fable or misrepre
sentation or delusion, but as I know
nothing to bo gained by covering up a
God defying sin with a lexicographer’s
blanket I shall call them in plainest
vernacular lies. They may he divided
into agricultural, commercial, mechan
ical, social and ecclesiastical.
The Lying Farmer.
, First of all, 1 speak of agricultural
ylalsehooda There is something in the
7 presence oi natural objects that lias a
i tendency to make one pure Tho trees
never isauo false stock. The whoatfields
are always honest Rye and oats never
move out in the night not paying for
tho place they occupy. Com shocks
never make false assigument. Mountain
brooks are always current Tho gold of
tho whoatfields is never counterfeit, but
while the tendency of agricultural life
is to make one honest, honesty is not
the characteristic of all who come to
the city markets from the country dis
tricts. You hear the creaking of the
dishonest farm wagon in almost every
street of onr great cities—a farm wagon
in which there is not one honest spoke
or one truthful rivet, from tongue to
tailboard. Again and again has domes
tic economy iu our great cities founder
ed on the farmer’s firkin. When New
York and Washington sit down and
weep over their sins, let Westchester
county and tho neighborhoods around
* this capital sit down and weep over
theirs.
The tendency in all rural districts is
to supi>ose that sms and transgressions
cluster in our great cities, but citizens
and merchants long ago learned that it
is not safe to calculate from the charac
ter of the apples on the top of tho farm
er’s barrel what is the character of the
apples all the way down toward tho
bottom. Many of our citizens and mer
chants have learned that it is always
safe to see tho farmer measure the
barrel of beets. Milk cans are not al
ways honest. Thera 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
is more honorable to raise com than to
deal in com. The producer sometimes
practically says to tho merchant, “Yon
get your money easily anyhow. ” Does
he get it easily? While tho farmer
sleeps—and he may ko to sleep con-
scions of the fact that yus corn and ryo
are all the time progfcssing and add
ing to his fortune or huflivelihood—tho
merchant tries to sleep, while conscious
of tho fact that at that moment the ship
may be driving on the tick or a wave
sweeping over the hurricane deck spoil
ing his goods, or the specutoitors may be
plotting a monetary revolution, or tho
burglars may be at that napment at his
money safe, or the firo m:t have kin
dled on the very block whe^e his store
stands.
Easy, is it? Lot those wflo get their
living in the quiet farm and born take
the place of one of our city Werchants
and see whether it is so easy, lit is hard
enough to have the hands! blistered
with outdoor work, but it U harder
with mental anxieties to have Vhe brain
consumed. God help tho merchants,
and do not let those who live In coun
try life come to tho conclusion »\hat all
the dishonesties belong to city Ufa
The Lying Merchant.
I pass on to consider commercial Ifoa.
There are those who apologize for de-»
viations from tho right and for practi-|
cal deception by saying it is commer-)
cial custom. La other words, a lie bjr
multiplication becomes a virtue. There (
are large fortunes gathered in which
there is not one drop of tho sweat of
unrequited toil. i'»'d not one spark uf
bad temper flashes from tho bronze
bracket, and there is not one drop of
needlewoman's heart’s blood on tho
crimson plush, while there are other
fortunes about which it may lie said
that on every doorknob, and on every
figure of the Muxp<>t. and on every wall
there is tho mark of dishonor. What if
the hand wrung by toil and blistered
until the skin comes off should bo
placed on tho exquisite wall paper, leav
ing its mark of blood—four fingers and
a thumb—or if in the night the man
should lie aroused from his slumber
again and again by his own conscience,
getting himself up on elbow and cry
ing out into tho darkness, “Who is
there?”
There are large fortunes upon which
God’s favor conies down, and it is just
as honest and just as Christian to bo
affluent as It Is to be poor. In many a
house there Is a blessing on every pic
tured wall and on every scroll and on
every traecricd window, and tho joy
that flashes in tho lights and that show
ers in tho music and that dances in the
quick feet of the children pattering
through the hall has in it the favor of
God and tho approval of man. and there
am thousands ;uul tens of thousands of
merchants who, from the first day they
sold a yard of cloth or firkin of butter,
have maintained their integrity. They
were bom honest, they will live honest
and they will die honest, but you and 1
know that there are in commercial life
those who arti guilty of great dishon
esties of speech. A merchant says, “1
am selling these goods at less than
cost” Is ho getting for those goods a
price inferior to that which he paid for
them? Then he has spoken tho truth
Is he getting more? Then ho lies. A
merchant says, ”1 paid $25 for this
article. ” Is that tho price he paid for
it? All right. But supiKise ho i>aid for
it $23 instead of $25? Thou ho Hob.
Hut there are just as many falsehoods ;
before the countor os there are behind
tho countur. A customer comes in and |
asks, “How much is this article?” “It |
is $5.” ”1 cam get that for $4 some
where else. ” Ciui he got it for $4 some
where else, or did ho say that just for
the purpose of getting it cheap by de
preciating the value of tho goods? If so.
ho lied. There are just as many false
hoods before the counter as there are
behind the counter.
A man unrolls upon tho counter a
bale of handkerchiefs. Tho customer
says, “Are these all silk?" “Yes.” “No
cottou iu them?” “No cotton in them. ”
Are those handkerchiefs all silk? Then
the merchant told tho truth. Is there
any cotton in them? Then he lied.
Moreover, he defrauds himself, for this
customer coming in will after awhile
find out that ho has been defrauded,
and the next time he comes to town
and goes shopping ho will look up at
that sign and say: “No, I won’t go
there. That’s the place whore I got
those handkerchiefs.” First, the raer-
chaut insulted God, and, secondly, he
picked his own pocket.
Who would take the responsibility
of saying how many falsehoods were
yesterday told by hardware men and
clothiers and hunbermen' and tobacco
nists and jewelers and importers and
shippers and dealers in furniture and
dealers in coal and dealers in groceries?
Lies about buoklos, about saddles, about
harness, abont shoes, about hats, about
coats, about shovels, abont tongs, about
forks, about chairs, about sofas, about
horses, about lands, about everything.
I arraign commercial falsehood as one
of the crying sins of onr time.
The Lying Mechanic.
I pass on to speak of mechanical
falsehoods. Among the artisans are
those upon whom wo are dejiendent for
the houses in which we live, the gar
ments we wear, tho cars in which we
ride. The vast majority of them are, so
far ns I know them, men who speak tho
truth, and they are upright, and many
of tliew are foremost in great philan
thropies and in ohurches, but that they
all do not belong to that class every one
knows. In times when there is a great
demand for labor it is not so easy for
such men to keep their obligations, be
cause they may miscalculate in regard
to the weather, or they may not be able
to get the help they anticipated iu their
enterprise. I am speaking now of those
who promise to do that which they
know they will not be able to da 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 tko job done in 10 days; they
do not get it done before 80. And when
a man becomes irritated and will not
stand It 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 somewhere
else. I believe they call that "nursing
the job.”
Ah, my friends, how much dishonor
such men would save their souls if they
would promise to do only that which
they know they can do. “Oh,” they
say, “it’s of no importance; everybody
expects to be deceived and disappoint
ed. ’’ There is a voice of thunder sound
ing among the saws and the hammers
and the shears, saying, “All liars sliall
have their place in the lake that bums
with fire and brimstone. ”
The Society Lie.
I pass on to speak of social lies. How
much of society is insincere? You hard
ly know what to believe. They send
their regards. You do not exactly know
whether it is an expression of the heart
or an external civility. They ask you to
come to their house; you hardly know
whether they really want yon to coma
We are all accustomed to take a dis
count off what we hear. “Notat homo”
very often means too lazy to dress. I
was reading of a lady who sai^ she had
told her last fashionable lia There was
a knoek at her door and she sent word
down, “Notat homa” That night her
husband Wild to her, “Mrs. So and so
is dead.” “Is it possible?” she said.
“Yes, and she died iu great anguish of
mind. She wanted to see you sti very
much. She hud something very inipor- I
taut to disclose to you in her last hour,
and she hoiiC three times today, Imt |
found you absent every time. ” Then j
thin womuijitiothought herself that she'
had had a bargain with her neighbor 1
that when the long protracted sickness
was about to come to an end sho would :
appear at her bedside and take tho so- '
oret that was to bo disclosed. And sho i
had said she was “not at home. ”
Social life is struck through with .
insincerity. They apologize for the fact |
tluvt. the furnace is out; they have not
had any firo in it all winter. They apol- |
ogize for tho faro on their table; they
never live any better. They decry their
most luxuriant entertainment to win a
shower of approval from yon. They
point at a picture on tho wall as a
work of one of the old masters. They '
say it is an heirloom iu tho family. It
hung on the wall of a castle. A duke
gave it to their grandfather I People
that will lie about nothing else will lio
about a picture. On small income wo
want tho world to believe wo are afflu
ent, and society today is struck through
with cheat and counterfeit and sham.
How few people are natural! Frigid
ity sails around, iceberg grinding
against iceberg. Yon mst not laugh
outright; that is vulgar. You must
smile. You must not dash quickly
across the room; that is vulgar. You
must glide. Much of society is a round
of bows and grins and grimaces and
ohs and alia and he, he, hes and sim-
perings and uamby pambyism, a whole
world of which is not worth one good
honest round of laughter. From such a
hollow scene tho tortured guest retires
at tho close of tho evening, assuring tho
host that he has enjoyed himself. So
ciety is become so contorted and deform
ed in this respect that a mountain cabin
where the rustics gather at a quilting
or an apple paring h;us in it more good
cheer than all tho fresoued refrigerators
of tho metropolis.
The Church Lie.
I piiss on to speak of ecclesiastical
lies, those which are told for the ad
vancement or retarding of a church or
sect It is hardly worth your while to
ask an extreme Calvinist what an Ar-
minian believes. Ho will toll yon that
an Arminian believes that man can
save himself. An Arminian believes no
such thing. It is hardly worth your
while to ask an extreme Amiiman what
a Calvinist believes. Ho will tell you
that a Calvinist believes that God made
some men just to damn them. A Cal
vinist believes no such thing. It is hard
ly worth your while to ask a Pedo-Bap
tist what a Baptist believes. Ho will
tell yon a Baptist believes that immor-
siou is necessary for salvation. A Bap
tist does not believe any snch thing It
is hardly worth yonr while to ask a man
who very much hates Presbyterians
what a Presbyterian believes He will
tell you that a Presbyterian believes
that there are infants iu hell a span
long, aid that very phraseology has
come down from generation to genera
tion in tho Christian church. There
never was a Presbyterian who believed
that “Oh, "you say, “I hoard some
Presbyterian minister 20 years ago say
sol” Yon did 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
particular slander against a Christian
church going down throngh the com
munity.
Then how often it is that there are
misrepresentations on the part of indi
vidual churches in regard to other
churehos—especially If a church comes
to great prosperity. As long as a church
is in poverty, and the singing is poor,
and all tho surroundings are decrepit,
and tho congregation are so hardly
bestead in life that their pastor goes with
elbows out, then there will always be
Christian people iu churches who say,
“What a pity, what a pity I" But let
tho day of prosperity come to a Chris
tian church, and let the music bo tri
umphant and let there be vast assem
blages, and then there will be even min
isters of the gospel critical and denun
ciatory and full of misrepresentation
and falsification, giving tho 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
all departments of life stand back from
deception
But some one says, “The deception
that 1 practice is so small that it don't
amount to anything. ” Ah, my friends,
it does amount to a great dealt Yon
say, “When 1 deceive, it is only about
a case of needles or a box of buttons or
a row of pina ” But the article may be
so small yon can put it in your vest
pocket, but the sin is as big as the pyra
mids, and tho echo of your dishonor
will reverberate through the mountains
of eternity. There is no snch thing as a
small sin. They are all vast and stu
pendous, because they will all have to
come under inspection in the day of
judgment. You may boast yourself of
having made a fine bargain, a sharp
bargain. You may carry out what tho
Bible says iu regard to that man who
went iu to make a purchase and depre
ciated 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, saith the buyer,
but when he is gone his way, then he
boasteth. ’’ It may seem to the world a
sharp bargain, but the recording angel
wrote down in the ponderous tomes of
eternity, “Mr. So-and-so, doing business
on Pennsylvania avenue, or Broadway,
or Chestnut street, or State street, told
one lie.”
The Masquerade.
May God extirpate from society all
tho ecclesiastical lies, and all the social
lies, and all the mechanical lies, and
all tho commercial lies, and all the ag
ricultural lies, and make every man to
speak the troth of his neighbor My
friends, let ns make our life correspond
to what we are Let us banish all de
ception from our behavior Let us re-
moinbnr that tho time comes when God
will demonstrate before an assembled
universe just what wo are. The secret
will come out Wo may hide it while
we livu, but we cannot little it when

had been boys together. Albert hail al

boy. Ho Ind loved to torture kittens,
to destroy bmlr nests and to make lit
tle girls cry
In time they grew to tnonhosd and

Julia Birdsall worshiped Albert
Rockingham until he was arrested for
highway robbery and sentenced to tho
penitentiary for 2? years. Then her
heart turned to stone.
“Jnlia, ” ho cried as they were load
ing him away, “Julia, Julia, I am in
nocent!"
But she gave him tho Chilkat puss
and fainted in tho arms of John D»w-
son. who smiled sardonically and mut
tered:
“So innch, Albert Rockingham, for
being a good boy anti going to Sunday
school ”
Twelve years passed—12 weary, sor
row laden years, during which John
Dawson made love to tho woman who
had promised to bo Albert Rocking
ham’s wife anti collected tho rents that
tho falsely accused man ought to have
had.
But Nemesis had all along been bid
ing her time, and ono day, when John
Dawson wasn’t looking, sho stole up
and hit him on tho solar plexus.
Two days later Albert Rockingham
emerged from prison, weighing 17
pounds more than ho did when ho was
sentenced.

All love affairs, it appears, are carried
on by stealth. “Tho would be lover, de
nied admission to the presence of his
inamorata, frequents the street in front
of her house and spends moat of hit-
wakiug hours in pacing tho pavement
and Ksaing rapturously at her window,
while she, snugly ensconced behind her
bars, prefends to ignore him. though
delighted to have a suitor and anxious
to show him off to all her acquaintances.
In Hpain this courting in public at long
range is known as “plucking tho tur
key;" iu Guatemala, as iu Mexico, it is
culled “playing the bear. ’’ Always is it
continued for months, sometimes for
years, anil maybe without success at all.
“Tho result does not depend upon the
wishes of the girl, but upon tho will of
her parents. After awhile they make
inquiries into the young man’s charac
ter, prospects nod social standing, if
rcjiorts are satisfactory, the seuorita’a
father or big brother scrapes up au ac
quaintance with the suitor at the club
or elsewhere and invites him to the
house. But never, never, for one mo

to walk or drive with her. As to mar
