Honesty in All Things.
Lesson for Nov. 21: Exodus 20:-
1S; Leviticus 19:11, 13; Luke 19:-
1-10, 45, 46.
Golden Text: Exodus 20:15.
4»-
The wide range given the com
mand against stealing as given in
the lesson is important. Leviticus
forbids dealing falsely and lying
one to another, while two in
stances in the ministry of Jesus
show that dishonesty may * take
varied turns.
According to his own statement,
Zacchaeus had not been honest in
his dealings as a tax collector
under the Romans, but had ex
torted exorbitant sums from his
own people. In the hour of his
conversion, he realized and con
fessed the wrong, declaring his
willingness to, make Restitution.
r The high priest and. : his asso
ciates had profaned the temple in
exploiting the pietjr<jf the people,
doubtless enjoying a “rake-off**
from “concessions” to money
changers and dealers in sacrificial
animals who had booths within
the sacred enclosure. Jesus was
aroused by the unholy traffic and
he swept the temple clean.
Men can be dishonest by taking
unfair advantage, false represen-
; tation, cheating on examination
and on the^ placing field, with
holding" from the government,
"beating a corporation,” profit
ing by the mistakes of others. A
woman told with satisfaction that
through a salesman’s error she
had been given twice what she
asked for—yards enough to make
two dresses instead of one. Slot
machines are “one-armed ban
dits” and all forms of gambling
weaken the moral fibre of those
who indulge. Let our people be
on the guard against everything
that would weaken their will to
be honest in all things.

INTERNATIONAL ‘LINE UPS’
“•'NOV. 8.
< It aeems to some Americans
that the almost violent agitation
no"’ going or -for postwar alii-
■a;; ..s, t catie;;, agreements and
commitments, is a bit hurried—
if not premature.
The war isn’t over yet—it may
be a long time before it is. Many
changes of attitude and thought
can occur before Germany and
Japan are defeated. There might
even be changes in the present
military “line-ups.” There already
have been several in this war;
and there has seldom been a long
war which involved a number of
nations, or factions, in which the
original military combinations
have remained unchanged.
International alliances and
treaties are made for reasons of
expediency and self-interest—just
as combinations in farm organi
zations or business corporations
or labor unions, etc., are created:
for mutual protection or for trade

{ Today, we all owe a tremendous debt of
: gratitude to men and women in the uni-
,! forms of Uncle Sam’s fighting forces,
j They’re on duty today at the four comers
V, of the earth and on all the seven seas—
j 1 protecting our lives and our way of life.
^ And we musn’t overlook the splendid
i job that other men in the uniform of our
police forces are doing. Their “zone of
< operation” may be South Carolina rather
than the South Seas, it may* be the high-
• way to the next town rather than the air
ways across the Atlantic, but-thbir job is
1 fundamentally the same — protecting us
and ours.
We South Carolinians can indeed be
proud of our police organizations city,
county dr state. Most of us have few
Occasions to call upon the advice Of our
police forces -— but that in- itself is a
'; tiibutae?to their *efficien^y. TheyYe on the
job day and r.ight whether we need them
or not.
Some of us in the Greyhound organiza
tion, because of the nature of our work,
have more frequent occasion to co-
• operate with the police than do many of
our fellow citizens of South Carolina.
For instance, we are in a position to see
clearly how much the police bf this com
munity, as well as those of neighboring
communities, have contributed to the
safety and convenience of bus transpor
tation. The aid these men have given in
; arranging the most practical and satis-
faCtory routes through towns and cities
is typical of their skillful handling 6f all
traffic problems.
Greyhound’s most important job, as we
see it, is to make near and good neighbors
of all the communities that our buses
serve in' South Carolina —%and we feel
that the able cooperation of police forces
throughout the State has made it possi
ble for us to do this job with greater
efficienrv.
