BY NEWMAN CAMPBELL.

The Ninth comman 1ment, 'aThou
shalt not bear false witness against
thy neighbor," is the basis of today's
lesson.
You must not tell lies about your
neighbor, which means those with
whom you come in contact. That is
what the commandment means
The lesson gives some interesting
stories about men and women of old
en- times who told lies, and were fear
fully punished for them
For instance, it tells about Gehazi,
servant of the prophet Elisha, Ma
naan was a great and rich man in
those days, but he had a dreadful dis
ease called leprosy for which there
was no cure. He went to the king of
Israel and asked him to cure him, but
the king said in establishment: cam
/ God to kill and to make alive, that
this man doth send unto me to re-
cover man of his leprosy?" And he
sent him to Elisha
Elisha worked a miracle and cured
Naaman Naanan wanted to heap
money and riches of all sorts upon
Elisha, but he refused all rewards.
His servant .Gehazi, howver:. thought
it a great pity that some one did not
profit by this rich mans generosity,
so secretly he ran after Naaman and
told him his master had sent him to
collect the reward. Then Naaman, not
suspecting, insisted that Gehazi take
as much again as he had asked. But
when Gehazi went back to Elisha he
knew at once what his servant had
done, and asked him where he had
been. Gehazi said he had not been
anywhere, whcreupon Elisha made
him a leper for his sins.
Then there is the story of Ananias
and his wife, Sapphire. Ananias sold
a piece of land, and instead of turn
ing the money over to the Apostle
Peter, as he was supposed to do, he
kept part of it. His wife knew of the
deal, too. Now when Ananias gave
Peter the money Peter asked him why
he was keeping some of it back. Thou
has lied not unto men, but unto God, =
he said,
And Ananias, hearing these words
fell down and died. Later his wife
came to Peter not knowing what had
happened to her husband, and she re-
peated the lie, and she too died.
Of course, not all liars meet such
prompt and severe punishment. Many
go on lying and living, year after
year. But they are as surely punish
ed as if they were made lepers or
died at once for their sins. At last no
one belives anything they say, and
even when they want very much to be
believed they are not. He Cor she)
is such "a liar, you can't believe a
word he says" people say.
And besides, such a one is always
tripping himself up. 1t is said that a
person must be very smart indeed to
be a successful liar, for he must re-
member always what he has said,
most often back his first lie up with
another and still another, until he
himself hardly knows what is the
truth. Truly is it said that honesty
is the best policy"
There are, of course, such things
as so-called .white lies. 1t makes an
interesting discussion to argue for

motor vehicles, under the law, must

ID nv the widespread use of two or

nrouoh 10 have virtually unlimited
sootbell manpower. There is no ques-
ton of this systems strategical effec-
t;veness but it served to make All
America selections just that much
more difficult.
There was a striking trend all along
tho line, as a matter of fact, to place
tbe main emphasis on the team as
whole rather than on the individual.
Notable examples of this were Notre
Dame, back once more as national
contender; Dukes Southern confer
ence champions; Oklahoma's Big SIX
ti.lebolders; Tennessee, Pittsburgh
and Texas Christian, to name only
few.
Partly because of this, perhaps the
All-America spotlight conferred for
the most part, on the stars of teams
in the lower-ranking brackets.
Thus Iowa State, Michigan State,
Mississippi and Santa Clara, all beat
en- at least once, won first-team brack-
cts for the first time since The Asso-
ciated Press began its All-America
selections in 1925. So, too, did Okla
hona, reckoned as a Midwestern an
try because of its membership in the
Big Six conference.
