Wocd__. esty in all things Includes honesty Mis „ AnrJe McDona ,- d in speech and truthfulness at all times. The command against false wit-! ness refers to perjury in court. By such witness an innocent man can be robbed of liberty or life. IrreparabR injury can also be done by tai ,g up and repeating a “false report” of a man. Suf fering caused by gossipers and slanderers, men and wqmen of “itching ears” and cruel tongues, cannot be measured. The only rule to follow, not to be party to the ruin of a reputation before the court of public opinion, is to “keep thee far ^rom , the false matter.” In the Master’s time meri were accustomed to call upon almost everything to witness their a- vowed truthfulness, so Jesus bade them affirm with a simple yea or nay. This could hardly be; construed as against taking the required oath in court. In ordi nary contacts a truthful man does not need to call upon hea ven to witness. If a mdn would deceive, he would not balk at taking an oath. , Jesus teaches us of the origin of falsehood. It is born with the devil, the idstigator of all sin, and, if for no other reason, men should hesitate to lie and deceive because they yield to and al> themselves with the “father of all lies.” And greater than the in jury they do unto others will be the harm done their own char acters.

To a boy or girl raised in a small town there is often some thing glamorous about the thought of leaving the cows and the chickens and findlhg a new home with a back yard full of skyscrapers. But it doesn’t take long for them to discover that skyscrapers, theaters and the ex citement of city life cannot com pensate in any way for the solid friendships back home. And when city people “escape” to the country, hoping to find peace and quiet and a more sat isfactory type of companionship they often find it impossible to adjust themselves to small town ways and, if they do stick it out, never quite learn to feel like a part of the community. But whether we move from the city to the country or the country to the city, most of us find that new surroundings but depends, in a large measure, on the friend ships we are able to build up. NEIGHBORS supply Cities have always been notori ous for their unfriendliness. In a small community , a stranger in town arouses the in terest of the natives—is called upon by neighbors and invited to their homes. In such a locality a stranger is given every possible opportunity to enter into the town activities and become a member of the local “family.” In a city a new neighbor means nothing to residents, most of whom hardly have a nodding ac quaintanceship with their old neighbors. There are plenty of cases in cities where two fam ilies live for months or years in adjoining apartments without knowing each other’s names. The difference in behavior be tween city and country people should not be attributed to a basic difference in the people themselves. It is more a question of supply and demand. In the country the supply of potential friends is restricted—so everyone finds it desirable to keep on the best possible terms with the other people of the town. In a city, on the other hand, the supply is unlimited and those living there are inclined to choose friends with care, accord ing to their interest rather than their proximity. Country people take their friends for better or worse. City people are in a position either to flit from one group of acquain- thickly populated communities.

A Having lived in both city and Terms of Sale: Cash, country I would conclude that in Purchaser to pay for deeds and either case it depends largely ,0n stamps.^ ^ Master. the breaks—on the neighbors the citylte happens to find when he settles in the country and on tftie acquaintances the country person finally makes when he or she moves to the city. In the city, although it takes longer to find friends, one has the advantage of being able to go through a weeding out process— dropping acquaintances who don’t wear well and substituting pew possibilities until you find a group which meets your require ments. , In the country, although there is no difficulty in meeting people, you must learn to get along with both those who don’t interest you and those who do. The country life is more con ducive to close, lasting friend ships while the city offers variety at the expense of solidarity. In the long run there is no question but the country life is more sat isfying to the soul, offers greater security and probably more hap piness. But wherever you come from— city or country—a complete change of environment always Nov. 17, 1943.—3t. DR. HENRY J.
