JESUS AND SINCERITY OF SPEECH
International Sunday School L*uon for September I. 1946
Golden Text: "Wherefore, putting away falsehood, speak ye truth
each one with his neighbor" ? Ephesians 4:25.
Lesson Text: ixodus 20:16; Proverbs 20:23-28; Matthew 26:69-75
While the Ninth Command
ment, "Thou shalt not bear false
witness against thy neighbors,"
refers primarily to the giving of
false evidence in court, it natu
rally follows that it forbids the
giving of false testimony against
anyone at any time. This would
forbid the practice of gossiping,
of slandering, of adding extra
facts to a story to make it more
interesting, and, in fact, all forms
of untruths.
It is evident that the practice
of lying originates in a heart that
is unclean. This Jesus recognized
and, for this reason, strongly con
demned the hypocrisy of the
religious leaders of his day, who
strictly adhered to all external
rituals, such as the washing of
the hands before eating, but who
were not so careful that their
hearts and lives were corres
pondingly clean. They were ex
amples of "living lies" because
their outward appearances testi
fied to one thing, while their
hearts were not in harmony with|
their action. Lying does not just
happen, it proceeds through un
clean lips from an unclean heart.
In John 8:42-45, Jesus is argu
ing with his enemies, the Phari-,
[sees, who, because they . were
jmoi^ally unable Vo receive his
message, branded him a liar. Be
cause what he declared did not fit
in with what they were teaching,
they relused to believe him, in
cited others to do likewise, and,
finally, by the use of paid, false
witnesses, had him condemned ?o
death and crucified on the cross.
However, Jesus told them that
if they were what they claimed
to be ? God's chosen children ?
they would believe that he was
what he claimed to be ? God,'sj
son. If they were really God's
children, they would have had
spiritual discernment necessary
to recognize Jesus as divine. But
because they were morally the
children of the devil and did the
bidding of their father, the devil,
they did not understand or be
lieve him.

"Men are responsible for their
volitions, and, as sin is not the
direct offspring of their own wills,
but the offspring of the surren
der of their own wills to this
mysterious will behind them,
[their deliverance from his per
sonal influence is possible and is
the result of Christ's salvation" ?
(Geo. Reith.)
Lying, hypoci isy, untruthful
ness, dishonesty and the like are
just as prevalent today as ihey
were in the time of Moses or of
Jesus Christ. In private life and
in public life, there are glaring
examples of all forms of false
witnessing.
Very often we read of witnesses
in court being prosecuted 'or
perjury, for giving testimony that
is later proved to have been un
true. In international affairs, we
also have instances where na
tions sign treaties, apparently
with no intention of abiding by
the provisions contained in ihem.
Thus, we have witnessed ihc
breadown in private, local, state,
national and international af
faii's involving confidence in one
another.
When confidence is destroyed,
we have undermined the very
base of civilization for, whether
we realize it or not. our every
jday business transactions depend
|upon our faith in the trustworth
iness and honesty of those with
whom we deal.
! We trust the merchant from
whom we buy an article to sell
us worthy merchandise at a fair
price. We mail a letter to a loved
one in a djstant city, confident
that it will be delivered because
we believe in the honesty of the
postal employes. We follow our
doctor's orders because we have
faith in his integrity and confi
dence in his ability. What a ter
rible thing it would be if we
could trust no one!
Therefore, we should do all in
our power to guard ourselves
against the formation of the
habit of deceitfulness. An easy
habit to acquire, it is an unusu
ally difficult one to break. Once
one's reputation for truthfulness
is destroyed, it is practically im
possible for it to be rebuilt.
I Let's be honest in our dealings
with those in our home, in our
business and social life, in the
making of promises, and in the
varied and sundry contracts of
lour lives: Let us so live each day
that the telling of a lie. either to
our fellow men or to Cod. will be
[unnecessary.
BLACK MARKET
The resources of the Office r>f
Price Administration, augmented
by aid from the Department of
Justice Treasury, and Agriculture
[ture, will be used to block any
[revival of a meat black market
when price ceilings are again re
jstored, according to Paul A. Por
ter- head of the OPA.
FOOD RISES
| Mid-July food prices in seven
teen cities throughout the country
were 80 per cent higher than In
August- 1939, according to the Bu
reau of Labor Statistics. Memphis
Tenn. led with a 94.6 per cent
rise, while Houston Texas, with
a 64 per cent rise, was the lowest.

| Telling a gripping story of vhe
days when the Oklahoma Pan
handle was a true No-man's
Land and a haven for most o^the
West's outlaws, RKO Radio's big
adventure romance' "Badman's
Territory " stars Randolph Scott,
Ann Richards and George "Gab
by" Hayes at the head of a dis
tinguished cast. ?
Scott- as a Texas sheriff, jays
aside his badge to go into the re
gion in search of his reckless
younger brother. Miss Richards is
cast as an impetuous newspaper
woman striving to persuade the
inhabitants to join with the rest
of Oklohotna in petitioning Con
gress for full territorial status,
and eventual Statehood.
Not only do the outlaws and
their hangers-on prefer to keep
the area free from Federal sup
ervision. but the prosperous cat
tlemen also enjoy their freedom
from regulation and taxes. This
brings about a dramatic conflict
between the opposing forces'
against which is painted the
vivid activities of ;he James
Boys, the Daltons and other fa
mous bandits of the era. and the
istormy love affair between the
Isheriff and the heroine.
