claimed the traditional last

day “for expressing our thanks
to God for His blessings” in

The proclamation read:
God’s help to us has been great
in this year of march toward
world-wide liberty. In brother

United Nations our gallant men
have won victories, freed
our homes from fear, have made
tyranny tremble, and have laid
the foundation for freedom of
life in a world which will be free.
Our forces and hearts and
mills have wrought well; and
our weapons have not failed. Our [
farmers, Victory gardeners, and i
crop volunteers have gathered
and stored a heavy harvest in
the barns and bins and cellars.
Our total food production lor the
year is the greatest in the an
nals of our country.
For all these things we are de-1
voutly thankful, knowing also!
that so great mercies exact from |
us the greatest measure of sac

TRUTHFULNESS AT ALL TIMES
LESSON TEXT—Exodus 20:16; 23; 1.7;
Matthew 5:33-37; John 8:42-45.
GOLDEN TEXT—Wherefore putting away
lying speak every man truth with hi» j
neighbor: for we are members one of an
other,—Ephesians 4:25.
God hates all kinds of dishonesty
I—a fact which is emphasized by
j the additional commandment re-
I garding truthfulness which is before
I us in this lesson.
God is truth, that is, the very es
! sonce of His nature is truth. In j
! Him is no darkness at all (I John
1:5). Lying or false witness there-j
fore reveals a opposite to
God. Hence we are not surprised
to find in our lesson that Satan is a
liar and the father of lies, and that
liars are his children.
1. The Nature of a Lie (Exod.
20:16; 23; 1,7).
The commandment against false
witness brings before us one form of
lying—for it has to do with perjury,
that is, the telling of an untruth in
court.
This is one of the worst forms of
lying, because it may result in the
one against whom it is practiced los
ing his liberty, his life or his prop
erty. It may mean the destruction
of his good reputation.
It is obvious, however, that the
commandment covers all forms of
lying, whether in business, in social
contacts, in the home, or in the
church. We might do well to con
sider what the Bible has to say
about whisperers, talebearers, back
biters, and others (see Lev. 19:6;
II Cor. 12:20). A man’s reputation
may be as easily ruined by a whis
pered lie over the back fence or the
luncheon table as by formal per
jury in the courtroom. “Thou shall
not bear false witness” at any time,
anywhere, or in any way.
11. The Practice of Lying (Matt.
5:33-37),
The people of our Lord’s day (and
who can say that the custom has
stopped) were in the habit of telling
lies and then trying to make others
believe them by an oath.
They would swear by heaven, or
the throne of God, or some other
sacred thing, and thus try to en
force their false word by some great
authority.
The liar is always under neces
sity of doing something—perhaps
telling another lie—to cover his
falsehood. When his comfort or ad
vantage seems to be endangered be
cause he is not believed, he brings
an oath to bear upon his statement.
Jesus taught the great virtue of
simple living and simple speech. A
plain “yes” or “no” is usually suf
ficient for the situation. Qualifying
words are apt to lead us astray.
The life of a Christian should be so
true and above board that no oath
should be needed to assure one of
his sincerity and honesty.
Since not all are Christians, it is
a necessity that men be placed un
der some kind of oath or affirmation
in judicial matters. Hence we need
not interpret this Scripture as for
bidding an oath in court.
It may be well to say a word
about swearing in general. It is all
too common among men, women
and children. No Christian should
ever be guilty of it, or that which
sounds like it. We need admoni
tion and correction at that point.
IH. The Source of All I.ics (John
8: ‘12-45).
The devil is a liar, and the father
of lies. Liars are members of his
family. Jesus said it, “Ye are of
your father the devil.”
Liars had better consider their
“family tree” and see how they like
their spiritual father. He is lustful,
murderous, and there is no truth in
him (v. 44). If you belong to that
family would you not like to change
families and be born again into
God's family?
Sadly enough the constant lying
of the wtvrld seems to have infected '
the minds and hearts of Christians. '
Instead of being cleansed from this
worldly defilement they carry its aw
ful tendencies into the church. Is it
not too true that gossip (which ia
almost always lying), false witness,
the tearing down of someone’s good
name, is all too common in the
church?
The great lie within the church,
and one of Satan’s prize exhibits,
is the falsehood of modern religious
liberalism (so-called) which is es
sentially a denial of real New Testa
ment Christianity. Jesus said (v.
42) that if God is our Father we
will accept Him as the Christ. The
one who speaks sweet words about
the example, the manhood, the lead- !
ership of the Master and who denies
Him His place as God is clearly in '
mind here as a follower of the fa- '
ther of lies. i
Note that in verses 45-47 Jesus :
challenges His enemies to convict 1
Him of sin or of falsehood. No one I
has ever been able to meet that
challenge.
The claims he made for Himself |
as the Son of God and the Saviour of
the world are plain and unmistak- !
able. If we deny them we either
make Jesus a liar, or we lie our
selves, and it is obvious that the
latter is the case.
