XJEW YORK.—In Europe, a few
years ago, this writer met a
friend who had just interviewed
Gen. Ismet Inohu, who is today Tur
key’s new dicta-

tor, succeeding
Kemal Ataturk,
who died recent
ly. “He’s the
smartest hombre I ever met,” said
my friend. “He talked to me for
two hours, frank and honest, look
ing me right in the eye and never
holding out on anything. He was
charming and brilliant and he didn’t
ask me not to print anything. I
thought I had a great story. But,
when I started to write it, there
was just nothing there. I saw him
several times after that, and real
ized that he was a master in heart-
to-heart talk which left no commit
ments whatsoever. I saw cagey dip
lomats kissed off just as I had been.
The man is a marvel of brains and
ingenuity.”
The small, fragile, deaf, ingratiat
ing General Inonu is the hero of
the Turkish army, premier until a
year ago, when he was mysteriously
benched* by Kemal Ataturk. There
were rumors that he was engaged
in international negotiations of such
subtlety that he found it necessary
to keep out of office and off-stage.
It was in 1920 that young
Colonel Ismet joined Mustafa
Kemal in Anatolia. By 1922, he
had driven the Greeks out of
Anatolia and Smyrna and in
this period and thereafter he
was Kemal Ataturk’s chief mili
tary aide. He added to his lau
rels, when, at the 1923 Lausanne
conference, he ran rings around
British and Italian diplomats
and won for Turkey virtually
its demands.
He was one of few men who re
tained the confidence of Ataturk to
the end. He was a firm and exact
ing and, at times, ruthless ruler of
the army, and is said to lack none of
the traditional specifications of the
iron man.
It is apparent that Ismet Inonu is
intent on keeping Turkey diplomat
ically liquid, that he fully realizes
*the bargaining power of Turkey’s
hegemony over the Moslem bloc,
and that he probably will use this
and other strategic assets in mak
ing some shrewd bargains.

His plea for joint defease

Is in interesting contrast to his

appealed to the “nations of the

then assistant secretary of the navy,
helped him enter career diplomacy.
In his early thirties, he was high

that country. He was made am

Roosevelt in 1933. He became un

THE SIN OF LYING

17; Ephesians 4:25.

truth in the inward parts.—Psalm 51:6.

“God is truth. The word truth
describes the very nature of God.
Lying, therefore, reveals a charac
ter opposite from God. Satan is a
liar. He was a liar from the begin
ning and is spiritually the father of
all liars. A lie does not necessarily
have to be an untruth. A statement
of a truth may be a lie if its purpose
is to deceive. A half truth may be
the worst kind of a lie. Satan’s
lies . . . are usually mixed with
truth.” Consider “modernism,
which has enough truth in it to
make it accepted by thousands of
people, but sufficient error to de
prive it of any power to save souls”
(L. D. Higley).
I. Forbidden to Lie (Exod. 20:16).
This commandment specifically
forbids perjury, which is one of the
worst forms of lying, because it
may result in the forfeiture of the
very life of a fellow being. It is
obvious, however, that it includes
all forms of lying, whether in busi
ness, in social contacts, in the home,
or in the church. We might do well
to consider what the Bible has to say
about whisperers, talebearers, back
biters, and others (see Lev. 19:6;
II Cor. 12:20). A man’s reputation
may be as easily ruined by a whis
pered lie over the back fence or the
luncheon table as by formal perjury
in the courtroom. “Thou shall not
bear false witness” at any time,
anywhere, or in any way.
II. Fountain of Lies (Matt. 15:19,
20).
Our constant concern for the body
that it may be healthy, clean, and
well groomed is commendable up
to the point where it becomes an
attempt to “glorify” the flesh. But
after all, the body is not the most
important thing. The heart is what
makes a man (read Matt. 15:7-11).
But what comes out of man’s un
regenerate heart? What a horri
ble catalogue we read in verse 19!
It is not what a man eats or what
he wears that makes him, but what
is in his heart. How foolish then to
hope to redeem humanity by im
proving housing, having better
schools and bigger playgrounds. All
these are desirable, but the one
thing needful is that man’s heart be
washed in the blood of the Lord
Jesus Christ, that he be born again.
III. Father of Lies (John 8:42-47).
Liars had better consider their
“family tree” and see how they like
their spiritual father. He is lustful,
murderous, and there is no truth
in him (v. 44). If you belong to
that family would you not like to
change families and be born into
God’s family.
As we have already suggested,
the prize lie of Satan is modern
religious liberalism. We quote again
from Mr. Higley: “The first lie
was told by Satan and it brought
about the fall of the human race.
The last lie . . . by Satan is being
told even now ... in the form of
modernism, that makes the Church
impotent even to save its own peo
ple.” Let us have no part in putting
forward this falsehood.
Note that in verses 45-47 Jesus
challenges His enemies to convict
Him of sin or of falsehood. No one
has ever been able to meet that
challenge. Even those who deny
His Godhood and Saviourhood
speak swelling words of commenda
tion of His pure life and exalted
moral teaching. If then He told the
truth about other things, surely He
spoke the truth about Himself. The
claims He made for Himself as the
Son of God and the Saviour of the
world are plain and unmistakable.
If we deny them we either make
Jesus a liar, or we lie ourselves,
and it is obvious that the latter is
the case.
IV. Forsaking of Lies (Eph. 4:25).
“Wherefore” refers us back to the
preceding verses where we are told
how, as Christians, we have put off
the life of the “old man” (v. 22)
and put on the “new man”; there
fore we are to live in true holiness.
But evidently the Ephesian Chris
tians still fell into their old heathen
habits of lying. Would that the
tendency had died out with the early
Church, but as a matter of fact, it
seems to have become aggravated
as the years have come and gone.
Being in Christ—members of His
body and thus united to one another
in Him—should make us scrupulous
ly truthful toward all men. Let us
—which means you and me—scru
tinize every relationship of life and
be sure that we have not by word,
act, or inference told lies. Think
carefully of your family life, your
church life, your community life.
Deal with such practical things as
grocery bills, taxes, tendencies to
gossip. We preachers need to con
sider our sermons. Are they true to
God’s Word? Are they honestly pre
pared? Do we “stretch” our illus
trations to make them effective?
Surely all of us who bear the name
of Christ must put away every form
of falsehood.

tation, you may get relief now with
