Does any man or woman before me
believe that George would ever have
become what he did if he lied about
that tree? Never! He then and there
built his foundations about Truth, and
Truth led him onward to greatness.
The memory of Lincoln will live with
that of Washington. You who have
read his history know that between
the ages of ten and fifteen he had
chances to lie every day in the week
He couldn't walk out without meeting
the village cooper or harness maker or
blacksmith, all of whom were beau-
4ful liars. He had an uncle who used
to tell of his hoeing seven acres of
corn in day, and he had an aunt who
declared that the grasshoppers had
eaten the roof off her log house.
The postmaster of the village was a
liar, and the member of the legislature
from that district never told the truth
when he could help it, and a tin peddler
predicted that young Lincoln would
grow up to become one of the most
famous liars in Illinois. Was the pre-
diction verified? We know it was not.
We know that when the boy was ques-
toned in court as to who stole smoked
hams from a certain farmer. he told
the truth and sent his grandfather to
Jail He began right there to tell the
truth, and his father could never lick it
out of him, and today his name is rev.
erenced wherever spoken.

a science of it. I set out for the top
and got there. At twenty 1 could out
lie any other liar in the state. I was
told on every hand that my future was
assured. but 1 was deceived.
There came a day when Truth
stepped in and sent me to Jail for per
jury and F'alsehood couldn't save me.
1t was blow from which few young
men could have rallied, but I sat down
and analysed my case and came to
realize that the Liar has no show
against Truth. Then and there made
the change that has brought me to
this pinnacle of greatness. I went out
of the business of living. and into that
of telling the Truth. 1 had to wear
old clothes and live on cold potatoes
for the next ten years, but stuck to
it and got there at last. I may not be
as great as Washington was, but 1 am
doing fairly well for Q. Hope Jones and
have no kicks to make.
My friends. let lying alone. We are
all natural born liars. but the elder
should tell the younger that there S
nothing in it. Truth alone is solid
You may work blind mule off on a
man by lying, or you may win the
heart and hand of a cross-eyed woman
by crushing Truth under your heel
but reaction is sure to follow and
you win be left hanging by your toes.
Husbands, lie not to your wives
wives. lie not to your husbands. Fol
low the light of Truth, no matter
where it leads. and as the hat passes

that Truth and a liberal heart always

PROF. DELITZSCH ACCEPTS JEST =
As PRIEST AND TEACHER.
Doesn't Positively Commit Himself on tho
Question OF Dtvinity-Thus Leaves
Open the Main Point In His Recent
Discussion With Emperor william.

Speeio, Cable Despafeh 10 THE Sun.
BERLIN. March l7.-Prof Dclitzschs elu-
cidation, which IL was announced a few
days ago would shortly appear. is pub
lished to-day as the preface to the latest
edition OF his second lecture on Babel
and the Bible The calculation, though
intended 20 define Prof. Delitzschs atti-
tude. particularly in view Of the Emperor's
references contained in his recent con-
fcssion OF faith does not make allusion
to the chief subject OF the controversy
between him and the Emperor, namely
the divinity Of Christ. nor does 1t refer
explicitly to the Emperor. 1t practically
amounts TO rejection OF the Jehovah
OF the Old Testament, and the acceptance
Of that God to whom Jesus has taught
us to pray
Prof Delitzsch's concluding words are:
Il have printed in heavy type seek
refuge in Him who in life and death has
said bless those who curse you,' and In
full confidence and joy. earnestly striving
after moral perfection, look for salvation
to that God TO whom Jesus taught us to
pray to that God who is loving and right"
eous father over all men on earth
Prof Delft zsch would seem to recognize
Jesus only as a priest and teacher, without
committing himself TO an opinion a. TO
His divinity. thus maintaining his position
against the Emperor. The calculation opens
by quoting Isaiah lviii.. verses 1 70 Q.
which Prof. Delitzsch cites as q perfect
specimen in point Of language, style and
spirit Of a Bedouin victorious war song.
He asks emphatically: Are we to accept
such passages, full OF hate as they are for
surrounding peoples, as proofs OF the ethi-
cal contents Of the prophetic booksf Are
these, which are only the outpourings OF
the political jealousies of the time. to serve
the children Of the twentieth century a.
books Of morals and rligion?'
Prof. Delitzsch complains that the people
still attribute the character Of revelation to
the old Israelite chronicles. which will not
bear the light either Of SCIENCE. religion
or ethics. The preface proceeds:
The deeper / 60 into Old Testament
history the more feel afraid OF Jehovah.
who insatiably slauehters all peoples rave
his favorite Israel, and who said TO Abra-
ham. L will bless whom you bless. and curse
whom you curse.
