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.

FRIENDS .... cities
There has been such a shifting
around of the population of this
country since the war began that
most all of us, by now, either
through personal experience or
reports of others, are keenly a-
ware of the difficulties of build
ing a new circle of friends in a
strange town or city.
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.

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.
