POimiflWEY^TAR Chicago, Aug. 30—In this sermon the preacher inculcates the duty of truthfulness In all the relations of life—in business, in politics, in our so cial intercourse and our religion. His text is Acts v. 8: “Tell me whether ye gold the land for so much? And she said. Yea. for so much.” Morbid curiosity is to-the eye what gossip is to the ear. The grewsome, the hideous, the diseased, the appall ing, an' objects at which some of us never tire of looking. Let a poor work man tumble from a scaffolding and have his brains bespattered upon the city pavements below or let a helpless washerwoman, staggering under her load of clothes, be crushed by the truckman’s wheel or a drunken human brute be battered by a policeman’s club and the crowds will collect as rapidly as do carrion eating birds at the scent of a carcass. All day long a steady stream of sightseers passes in and out of the Parisian morgue. The more bloated and deformed the corpses the stronger the fascination and the bigger the crowd. Such is the scene of my text. There is great excitement in Jerusalem. The agitation is spreading everywhere. As the people are rushing along toward a common center some bystander asks a runner, “What is the matter?” “Why,” 1 answers he, “haven’t you heard the j news? You know Ananias, who used to live next door to me? He was my dearest neighbor. Well, Peter was preaching this morning near the tem ple. He took up a collection for the poor. Anaidas came forward and laid Ids contribution at the feet of the apostle and pretended that he had giv en all his money to the church. He wanted to appear well before his fellow church members. But Ananias told a falsehood. He had not given all, as he had pledged himself to do, but had kept back part of the money for his own use. Then Peter raised his finger toward heaven and said, ‘Ananias, thou hast not lied unto men, hut unto G6d.’ Immediately Ananias clutched at his heart. He gave one shriek and dropped dead. Come on; let us go up and see what is next going to happen.” X.Ion Canuot lie Clothed Xu White. These two men rush on toward the temple. They come to the outskirts of a great throng. There the multitudes are crowding and pushing and jostling their neighbors and trying to get near to the speaker. Suddenly the cry Is raised. “Make way, make way!” The sea of human faces surges to the right and to the left. Every head uncovers. The murmur of many voices is hushed to the silence of the tomb. Slowly and solemnly down through the open path way come the pallbearers, carrying be tween them a shrouded form. For, “tin* young men arose, wound him up and carried him out and buried him.” Hardly had the noise of the shuffling f''ot ceased when a newcomer, a wom an, began to elbow her way through the crowd. She asks the people as she pushes along: "What is the matter? Is any one hurt?" No one answers. They pretend they do not hear her, but they do. As soon as she passes along many an eye is moist, many a lip quivers. “God pity her! God pity her!” This is Sapphira. the wife of the dead per jurer. She is her husband’s confed erate in the premeditated lie. As soon as Peter sees her he points to the pile of silver and gold and says unto her, “Woman, tell me whether ye sold the land for so much?” And she says, “Yea. for so much." Quick as a flash the lightning of God’s wrath struck. "Then fell she down straightway at his feet and yielded up the ghost, and the* young men came in and found her dead, and. carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.” Such is the Bib lical description of two capital punish ments. The record stands there on the sacred page as a perpetual warning against falsehood, an object lesson, ter rible and exemplary, of the divine atti tude toward all kinds of lies and un truths and prevarications and inten tional distortions and misrepresenta tions. wherever they may he found. To catalogue some of the equivoca tions by which the Ananiases and the Sapphiras of the present day pervert the truth is the purpose of this sermon. We would prove that business lies and social lies and political lies and par ental lies and church lies can never he clothed in white and called “white lies.” Every falsehood Is covered with the black pall of death—black as the darkness of the bottomless pit. We would try to do this because there is a theory abroad that some lies are inno cent and respectable and that there is no harm If their black garments hang In the wardrobes of honest men. IliiNineaB Valaehootla. Falsehoods in the business world: They nest and thrive especially well In the haunts of barter and gain. They greet you at the opened doors of our largo department stores. They plc- torialize themselves in circulars and newspaper advertisements which are sent broadcast over the cities and coun try districts. They pose In fictitious reports of our large corporations and exaggerate the annual dividends. They have for their passports white slips of paper, purporting to represent bona fide stock, whereas the gold and sliver and copper mines are purely imaginary. They enthrone themselves In the “pits” of the produce exchanges. They finger the keys of the telegraph Instruments when the brendstntfs are about to be cornered. They are just as much at home with the wholesale manipu lator as with the retail dealer, with the great capitalist as with the humble trailer seated behind the counter of the little country store. We have all felt upon our hoi cheeks tin* baleful touch of their infectious breath. They ride down with us when wo go shopping in the morning. They come home with us when we turn our hacks upon the glass offices at night. Falsehoods in the business world! They figure not only in the transac tions of buyers and sellers, but in the declarations of the taxpayer. Here conies the county assessor. How much is your property worth? “Oh,” you answer, if a farmer, "not much. 1 hardly made a living off the place last year. My crops barely met expenses. The house is simply a ‘white elephant’ on my hands. I would get rid of It if 1 could. But it down, say, for $3,000.” The assessor departs. About six mouths later a railroad corporation wishes to have the right of way through your property. The representative of that road comes to you. “How much is your property worth?” “Oh,” you an swer, “I do not want to sell under any conditions. This is the finest farm land in all this region. Besides, the place has for me a sentimental as well as an intrinsic value. My father was born here. My children were born here. Well, if I must, I must. That fann and that old homestead are worth at least $10,000. They are cheap at that.” There are your two answers. Why the discrepancies? Why did you make one statement to the assessor and another to the railroad corpora tion? Did you lie first? Did you lie last? Did you lie both times? Go«l Abhors Lying. Fire insurance adjusters meet with the same kind of lying. The man who lias solemnly declare*! to the county commissioners that his personal hold ings are of little value discovers after they have been burned that they wore worth a fortune and demands that the fire insurance company compensate him on tiiat basis. False estimates and fraudulent misrepresentation, whether made in the assessor’s ofiice or to fire insurance adjuster or by the merchant to the customer or the customer to the merchant, all belong to the same cat - gory. They are lies. They are the ut- uook and run? Cdr, no; but because ii:o »t people would rather hear ill of their neighbors than good. Therefore when a falsehood is once started about a neighbor it league bools, one emissary twenty, fifty, peddle its » vil ing venom. Falsehoods Why? Because eurntoly repeat hear. Without travels on with seven and instead of having it gradually enlists ten, a thousand persons to and transmit its deslroy- in the social world! few people can ac any statement they intending to misquote. they make verbal changes which slight ly or seriously affect the meaning. If you would prove tins statement I | would have you play a simple game | which we children used to play In my ! younger days. We would have twenty | or thirty people sit about the parlor in i a circle. Then we would have one per- ! son, who was the leader, whisper a I simple statement or tell a short story ; to the person upon his right. That per son would in turn whisper the same story. And on and on the story would go until it had made the full circle. Then the last person in the circle would tell the story ns he heard it. , Then the first person would tell the ; story as he told it. And the two stories ! would tie no more alike than the | striped fur of a panther is like the white wool of a pet lamb. DentroycpN tit Clmmoter. So well known is this fact of uncon scious alteration, and so painful has been his experience cf its effects, that one of our best known United States Benators has made it a rule to refuse all applications for a verbal interview. He has been so often misrepresented unintentionally that when an inter viewer comes to him lie always says: I “Write your questions clearly and dis tinctly upon paper. Then I will write my answers and you must print them as I give them to you. I do this so that there may be no misunderstanding be tween us.” There ate many social falsehoods floating about every com munity. not because neighbors have deliberately lied against neighbors, but because when gossip starts her work the statements made in reference to a man’s character by oft repetition often unintentionally become malformed and satauic and character destroying mon strosities. Social falsehoods arc prevalent ev erywhere. How are we to guard terances of false tongues, and God against them? First and foremost, by . not making ourselves a medium for | their propagation. An aspersion on a i man’s character, once started, is.passed from lip to lip until the whole commu-. i nity hears it. But the calumny, often undeserved, might be stopped by the; observation of a simple rule. “Never believe any evil rumor,” my father said, “you may hear against your neighbor. Never believe it unless you have positively heard the evil confes-! sion from the man’s own lips, and even then you must hope there is some mis take about it.” Never allow yourself They, however, swarm to listen to any maligner of an innocent has recorded his abhorrence and his condemnation of all intentional verbal misrepresentations. Whether behind store counter or over church pulpit let your answers be “yea, yea, and nay, nay.” A lie is just as black and fatal tossed as a shuttlecock between the two battledoors of buyer and seller as though it were the deathknell of an Ananias and a Sapphira falling at the feet of an apostolic denunciator. Falsehoods in the political world; Oh, how many! Like the seventeen year locusts, they never entirely depart from a region, most at certain seasons of the year. They are especially numerous and virulent at a municipal or state or presidential election. The ballot box is their footstool. A national eonven- tion to nominate a president is their glorification. Political falsehood will take the record of the purest and public man that ever lived ao^rtT lutely bedaub it over with and false accusations. They 11 Washington and Jefferson an _ Quincy Adams and Lincoln and Hayes and Garfield and McKinley. But, though the concocters and utterers of political falsehoods may ‘never tire of blackguarding and misrepresenting our public men. the acme of meanness is only reached when, without just cause, they dyftg into the political mire the wives and the children of the, men whom they would indirectly attack. In this generation the family of any pub lic man is never able, like Cmsar’s wife, to live above suspicion. Ah, then, I wonder not that some of our public men become bitter and lose their faith in mankind. I wonder not that many a public man is tempted to carry.his political hatreds down to the grave. When Andrew Jackson was a very old man he wished to join the church and be baptized at her altars. When he ap peared before the church officers the minister asked him this question, “Gen eral, before you come into our fellow ship will you forgive all your political enemies us you would have Christ for give you?” “Yes,” answered Jackson. “What! All?” The old ex-president thought a moment. Then the aged conqueror who once defended Nevf Or leans raised bis bead, and, with flash ing eye and scornful lip, replied, “Yes, all except the merciless scoundrels who have li**d about my dead wife.” God pity the honest man who in public life is having ids heart gashed open by the attacks made upon the characters of his loved ones. Truly, then, as at the cross, an ungrateful people are offering him a crown of thorns Instead of a crown of treasured gold. Untruth !■ Cownrilly. A He is a lie, against whomsoever told. A lie is especially cowardly when it is told against public men, especially cowardly because for the most part the victims must writhe and twist under the insinuating and poisonous attack and suffer in silence. The nature of a lie is not changed by harnessing It to a qualifying adjective, nor is a political He less heinous than other lies. A lie told to besmirch a political candidate or to Ixmefit a political party is an of fense in the sight of God which will have to be accounted for in the day of Judgment. “All liars”—there are no exceptions to this rule—"all liars shall have their part In the lake which burn- eth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Falsehoods in the social world; Why? Because, ns David in his haste ; grossly declared, “All rami arc liars?” Oh, no. Because most people would in tentionally and deliberately rob an In nocent man of his character as n sneak | thief might snatch a woman’s Docket- njld Sapphira, but in ail probability 1 absolutely destroy my little ones also. Falsehoods hi tin* church: That means many of us are weekly and daily breaking the public pledges we have made to God. 'lake, for instance, that promise which you made when you Joined the church. Have you kept it? Every Sunday night at the close of the meetings the members of hundreds and thousands of Christian Endeavor services are repeating the Christian Endeavor pledge, “I promise him thst ; i will strive to do whatever he would i like to have mo do; that I will make it j the rule of my life to pray and read | the Bible every day and to support my own church in every way, especially by attending all her regular Sunday and | midweek services, unless prevented by j some reason which I can conscientious- i ly give to my Saviour.” Do all the : young people read the Bible every day and conscientiously try to attend the | midweek church services? Are they simply perjuring themselves to God with their lips? Are they trying, con scientiously trying, to live up to the teachings of the beautiful motto, “It is better to be than to seem?” Remember, the perjurers of my text were destroy ed because they were making a false statement to the church. Many and many church members who deliberate ly at the church altars continue to lie to God and continue to break the prom ises which they are making Sunday after Sunday must answer to find for their sins as Ananias and Sapphira had to answer. A SuTKostion. Thus, my friends, the whole trend of this sermon is to prove that— Words arc mighty, words are living Serpents with their venomous stings, Or bright angels crowding round us, With heaven’s light upon their wings. It is to prove that every word we utter, whether true or false, that word shall never die. It shall at last meet us at the judgment seat of God and make us explain why we ever let t it come forth from our lips. It is to prove that God does not have one lan guage for the week day and another for Sunday. The Paphlagonian pigeons were said to have had two hearts, but uo human mortal can have two hearts. A man cannot have one honest tongue with which he speaks to God and an other false tongue with which he talks to his fellow men. The Bible distinctly and emphatically states that Chris tians must come forth out of the sin ful world and separate themselves from it. In no way can this be done better than by speaking the Christian Over-Work Weakens Your Kidneys. Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. All the b-coa in your body passes through your kidniys or.ee every three minutes. The kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or impurities in the blood.

I’ureutnl DiNhoneNty. Falsehoods in the parental world: We would have broadened this head- i ing and called it “falsehoods in thej domestic world” but for one reason.! When a husband deceives his wife and | a wife her husband they do it deliber ately and preuieditatodly. They do it with their eyes wide open, and they | fully realize the enormity of their sins ; and toward what destrilctive rocks j they are heading. But. though a father never tells a falsehood to his marital! companion without forethought, that; parent may thoughtlessly fall into the i habit of deceiving his children. They ' are so young. He thinks they do not! remember and do not understand. Tbe 1 same law applies to the wife as well as to the husband. The mother some day, i wearied by the perpetual racket, says j to her ehild, “Now. Harry, if you will | go to lied this afternoon and take a 1 nice long nap I will take you out for a | ride this evening.” Tin* child goes to bed without a murmur. When evening comes the mother wishes to do some- j thing else. The ride is positioned. What is the result? 81ie deliberately 1 breaks her promise. She falsifies be- : cause she does not think it necessary to | bo honest with her child. The father comes to the side of the invalid’s crib and says, “Now, my son. if you are patient and good and will take your medicines as you ought, when you get well I will give you a bicycle or a watch or a printing press or a scroll saw.” The l>oy thinks and dreams about that coming present. | But when the child gets well the bills begin to come in. The doctor’s bill and the druggist’s bill and the trained nurse’s bill stagger the father. He neglects his promise, or he Buys: “1 cannot afford that bicycle now. You must wait, my son; you must wait awhile.” That night the mother says to her husband: “Husband, do you think It is right not to give the boy his present? Remember, you promised him.” “Oh,” says the father, “he is only a chikl ami will sooiii forget it." Will he forget your promise? Never, man. never! A child’s mind and heart are like the rolls of a phonographic in strument. Every time you speak into a child’s ears the roll of memory re ceives an •indentation. After awhile your human voice may be still, but these memory rolls will speak forth , the records of your broken promises, i I tell you candidly I would sooner He to any being on ynrth than to one of my own children.
