TRUTHFULNESS.
A Lie Is Cheap Economy, but 1t VIII
Never Pay to Lie.

Never Pay to Lie.
A valuable lesson was brought out In Mrs.
Cooper's Bible class yesterday, from the
history of Ananias and Sapphira. These
two Scripture characters" said the teacher,
were among the Ell thusiasts Of the early
church But it is evident that their hearts
were not in the work. Theirs was mere
mechanical enthusiasm. There must be
reality in religious life or it amounts to
nothing. The real sin of these two pre-
tended devotees did not consist of keeping
back something for themselves. but in pre-
tending to give up that which they secretly
withheld. 1t was the lie that was the sim
Never say one thing and mean anOth er. 1t
would be splendid thing for this W orld,"
added Mrs. Cooper, ''if people would say
exactly what they mean, and do exactly
what they say. Persons who 1eel no obliga-
tion to be truthful, except under oath. are
not TO be trusted. There can be no mere
legal truthfulness. Truth is Of the heart
The desire TO mlslead and deceive is the most
subtle form of lying. The cause OF this
fearful lapse in these two new converts of
the early church was then discussed. 1t
was the love OF money. Paul says: The
love OF money is the root of all evil.' Peo-
pie who make haste to be rch are in peril
And when such people get rich, all capacity
Tor enjoyment Is gone. There Is nothing
lett in the soul to yibrate happiness. Just
of tune. Avsriee is deadly serpent; it
will sting to death at the last. as it did in
the case of Ananas and Sapphira. A bank
rupt OF soul is the worst sort of bankrupt
But whoever heard of Church discplining
member for the sin that brought
death to these two members OF the early
churehp Paul, 10 Corinthians. classes the
c0vetous with idolaters and unclean persons
and says, they have no inheritance in the
kingdom OF Christ aud OF God" In closing
the lesson the teacher laid strong emphasis
upon the Importance of teaching children
10 be strictly truthful. But how can parents
teach their children to tell the truth If they
tell deliberrte falsehoods in the hearing Of
their children? Ii IS not big, black lies alone
that undermine character-but all sorts of
deceit and falsehOOd. One can be on guard
against "lhe champion liar" but he is at
the mercy OF the covert subtitle deceiver. 1t
is great thing 10 be able to say Of any one
His word Is as good as his bond" Make
society truthful and 1t would adva nee faster
than by all the railroads, steamships, tele-
phones aud telegraphs.
