where there is not an honest brick nor
a thing in the house but has upon IT
the mark of dishonor. Do you wonder
that the owners of all these things
spend restless nights within palace
walls? There are many men in bust
ness today. successful men, shining in
society, and conspicuous in the church,
who, if they got what should come to
them, would be doing the lock-step in
prison. One of the most arduous duties
of mans life, if he understands what
his duties are, is to tell the truth, and
to tell the truth when it ought to be
told oftimes requires more courage
than was ever shown upon the field
of battle, amid the glitter Of cold
steel and the rattle of musketry.
Truth Joined With Virtue.
Heroditus tells us, in the first book
of his history, that from the age Of
to that of 20, the ancients instructed
their children only in three things;
namely, to manage a horse, to shoot
dexterously with their bow, and to
speak the truth. The study of truth is
perpetuaIly Joined with virtue; there
Is no virtue which does not derive Its
original from truth, just as there Is no
vice which does not spring from lie.
Truth divine in its nature. and pure
before heaven, is the foundation of all
human excellence, the Keystone Oh al
sincere affection, and the secret of
lasting success. Everyone can enter
into the animated and delightful emo
ton with which Petrarch must have
received the gratifying tribute Of pop
ular approval when, appearing as
witness and approaching the tribunal
to take the accustomed oath. he was
informed that such was the confidence
of the ocurt in his veracity that his
word was sufficient.
If falsehood offer you gold, and truth
cannot afford a copper; If falsehood
conduct you to a palace and truth lead
you to a howell, If you would live hon
orally and die peaceably, choose truth.
Let truth be yours whatever it costs.
and don't sell it for all the riches and
pleasures that falsehood can command
you might as wei sell your soul at
once Buy the truth and sell it not"
is the injunction of the Good Book.
If you make this bargain stick to it.
however great the cost. you'll never
regret it. but If you sell the truth, even
for millions, you're a loser.

tivated sin.
Such is the value put upon the truth
that ewes the liar feels that to stand

about the foulest disgrace that could

Some Think Lies Help.
Men believe that lies can make them

their successful rivals; that lies can
get them out of difficulties. There are
people with whom most of US come in
contact, day by day, who believe with

something against another is a cruel
way of acting an untruth.
FaIsehoOd Often Thrives.
If falsehood always defeated itself,
there would be no temptation to lie,
but the fact is that falsehood often
pays better than truth, gets rich where
truth starves, and lives in splendor,
while truth does not make living at

There are merchants who excuse
