DISHONESTY IN SMALL THINGS
!" tie that is unjust in the least is unjust
also IN much Luke XVI. 10.
We often find individuals manifesting
great want ofprlnciple in regard to The
payment Of small debts, while they are
extremely careful and punctual in the
payment of notes in the bank, and in all
their commercial transactions.
For instance, there is man that takes
newspaper; this is only a small sum.
and the publisher cannot send collector
to every individual; 50 this man lets his
subscription lie along perhaps for years,
and perhaps never pays it. The same
individual, if it had been note at the
bank, would have been punclual enough;
and 10 pains would have been spared,
rather than let the note run beyond the
day. Why2 Because If be does not
pay his note in the bank, it will be pro-
tested, and his credit will be injured but
the llt;ls debt of 20 shilIines or SIS will
not be protested, and he knows it. and so
he lets it go BY, and the publisher has to
be a. the trouble aud expense of sending
for.lt, or GO without his money. How
manifest it is that this man does not pay
his notes att the bank from honesty of prin-
ciple, but purely from regard tt his own
credit and interests - Ftnmeys Lectures.
