PASTORS DRAW THE LINE BETWEEN BLACK LIE
AND FALSEHOOD THE CHURCH WOULD EXCISE

st. Louis ministers have discussed with
zest the sermon preached Sunday by the
Reverend Charles F. Kloss of the Webster
Groves Congregational Church. the subject
of which was: rs 1t Ever Unsuitable to
Lie?' Mr. Kloss took the position that 1t
was always morally wrong, but said that
there were conditions where he would tell
an untruth. He would willingly defend his
property by prevaricatins to a highway
man, or would lie to save his own life or
that of friend.
The majority Of the ministers agree with
Mr.. Kloss. although some say that they
would consider it dangerous to promulgate
such doctrines from the pulpit.
Monday morning. the day the sermon was
printed In The Republic, Mr.. Kloss attend
ed the Evangelical Alliance. and was the
object of much good-natured bantering by
his clerical friends. Many hypothetical
cases were stated to him. and he was re-
quired TO say what he would do in each
one. MIR. kloss insisted that no rational
person would scruple at the truth under
certain circumstances He said he was GER
tain that all the ministers agreed with him,
and laughingly challenged them to declare
their beliefs from their pulpits.

Father Kieity preached a series Of two SER
