Parental Dishonesty.

Falsehoods in the parental world. We would have broadened this heading and called it "falsehoods in the domestic world but for one reason. When a hus- band deceives his wife and wife her husband they do 1t deliberately and pre- meditatedly. They do it with their eyes wide open, and they fully realize the "n- ormity of their sins and toward whaf fe- structive rocks they are heading. Bat. though a father never tells a fals.hood to his marital companion withous tore. thought that parent may thcughtlessly fell into the habit of decciving his children TEey are so young. He thinks they do nnt remember and do not understand. The same law applies to the wife well as to the husband. The mother some day, wearied by the perpetual racke-, says to her child, Now. Harry, if you will go to beo this afternoon and take a nl-f long nap I will take you out for ride this e. ening." The child goes to bed w,tLout a murmur. When evening comes the mother wishes to do something else Ire ride is postponed. What Is the result? She deliberately breaks her promise. She falst- fies because she does not think It nec- essary to be honest with her child.
 The father comes to the side of the in- valid's crib and says, Now. my son, If you are patient and good and will take
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-09-06

your medicines as you ought, when you get well I will give you a bicycle or watch or a printing press or a scroll saw" The sick boy thinks and dreams about that coming present. But when the child gets well the bills begin to come in. The doctors bill and the druggists bill and the trained nurses bill stagger the father. He neglects his promise, or he says: T cannot afford that bicycle You must wait, my son, you must walt awhile" That night the mother says to her husband Husband do you think 1t is right not to give the boy his present? Remember, you promised him.. 'Oh, says the father. he is only child and will soon forget it." Will he forget your promise? Never, man, never child s mind and heart are like the rolls of a photographic instrument, Every time you speak into a childs ears the rolls of a ory receives an indentation. After awhile your human voice may be still, but these memory rolls win spea< forth the records of your broken promises. I tell you can didly I would sooner lie to any being on earth than to one of my own children. If lie to them I not only destroy my self like Ananias and Sapphira, but in all probability I absolutely destroy my little ones also.
 Falsehoods in the church; That means many of Us are weekly and daily break ing the public pledges we have made to God. Take, for instance, that promise which you made when you joined the church. Have you kept it? Every Sunday night at the close of the meetings the members of hundreds and thousands of Christian Endeavor services are repeating the Christian Endeavor pledge, T promise him that I will strive to do whatever he would like to have me do; that l will make it the rule of my life to pray and read the Bible every day and to sup port my own church in every way, es- pecially by attending all her regular Sun- day and midweek services, unless pre- vented by some reason which 1 can con- scientiously give to my Saviour" Do all the young people read the Bible every day and conscientiously try to attend the midweek church services? Are they simply perjuring themselves to God with their lips? Are they trying, eonscientiously try ing, to live up to the teachings of the beautiful motto, Tt is better to be than to seem?' Remember, the perjurers of my text were destroyed because they were making a false statement to the church. Many and many church members who deliberately at the church altars con. tinue to lie to God and continue to break the promises which they are making Sun day after Sunday must answer to God for their sins as Ananias and Sapphira had to answer

A Suaaestion.

Thus, my friends. the whole trend of this sermon is to prove that
 Words are mighty. words are living
 Serpents with their venomous stings, Or bright angels crowding round us.
 With heavens light upon their wings,
 It is to prove that every word we utt sr. whether true or false, that word shall never die It shah at last meet us al the judgment seat of God and make us explain why we ever let 1t come forth from our lips It is to prove that God does not have one language for the week day and another for Sunday The Paphlagon- ian pigeons were said to have had two hearts, but no human mortal can have two hearts. A man cannot have one hon est tongue with which he speaks to God and another false tongue with which he talks to his fellow men. The Bible dis tinctly and emphatically states that Christians must come forth out of the sinful world and separate themselves from it. In no way can this be done better than by spesling the Christian language of straightforward truth Are we ready u speak that truth wherever 1t may be found?
 But there Is just one little suggestion l would like to make before l close Remsm- Der, lie is not always told with the lips. It can also be spoken by the hand and the foot. The last words my father ever wrote in his study were these, "Ihe Lam gIage of Action" They were to he the cal ton of the next sermon he int ended to write. Beware, o man. that when you attempt to speak in this Language of action you shall not only have an hon est tongue, but truthful hand and tiuthful smile a truthful shr.g of the shoulders, a truthful foot and a.so. very imreratively, a truthful silence. There is me to speak. There is also time to Keep still. But If man keeps sull when he ought to speak then silence itself ,nay sreak in the thunderous tones of the l1udest affirmatives of the loud5st nega- tivos. Let your life In all It's rarts be yea, yea and may, nay" Some insects have thousand eyes The human being by the Language of action" may have a thousand tongues. These worship either at the altar of truth or at the satanic shrine of endless falsities
