( Sermonette ) LIARS o “I said in my haste, All men are liars" —Ps. 116:11 In a moment of quick judgment David gave ex pressian to his opinion of folks generally when it comes to truthfulness. Yet admitting these were impulsive words, we do not find where, after due consideration, he revised his statement. I believe every man will, if he reviews his life, admit his natural inclination to deny if not “stretch” the truth on many occasions to profit, protect or de liver himself. Then truth is an acquired virtue. Some chhildren who are innocently truthful, become fibbers of the worst sort. Others who will tell false hoods will become as they reach toward manhood or womanhood very truthful, so much so that they will as the Psalmist says “swear to their own hurt.” Annanias and Sapphira were probably led to ly ing through envy. But there may be a thousand ways and causes for lying. We lie so often that many people will lie unconsciously. Women will lie about social matters. Men will lie about business matters. Young people will lie about nothings. Church members will lie when singing, praying and giving. Once after preaching a missionary sermon I took a collection and a leading member gave 50 cents. He said at the close of the service “You got every cent I had”. Later I took dinner in his home and he bragged about having several hundred dollars ir the bank. Someone has said “A lie is a handle that fits anything.” One who deliberately lies will steal not only your good name, but your money and possibly your life. With few exceptions the man who goes into bankruptcy lies; perhaps perjures himself. Peter said to Annanias, “Satan hath filled thy heart” and we are told he is “the father of lies.” We have in the Bible many instances of lying. Some of them were prominent people. Abraham lied, so did Jacob, Samson, Saul, and even David. Yet none of them found it profitable, but rather made bad matters worse. The Bible clearly tells us there are certain kinds Seen And Heard GOOD SNAPS The best snap beans eaten in the editor’s home this year were some short, round, tender ones, brought in by William Baker two weeks ago. We do not know the variety, but they were unusually good. NO CHOW If you chance to see a fairly small white dog with his tail curled over his back in the Chow manner, and with a straight, woolly coat, don’t make the mis take of thinking him a young Chow. That is the Riggsbee Mas sey Spitz that has had a summer haircut and is just growing anoth er crop. SUNDAY HOTTEST DAY TO THAT DATE The thermometer and the weather man said last Sunday was the hottest day of the year up to that date. But because of the hu midity on Monday the close, warm air had the effect of making many believe that day warmer than the one preceding. A SPOTLESS SPORTSMAN Sometimes one wonders how much pleasure some people get out of life when we note that they do not enjoy or participate in such sports as we do. We have noticed that some who do not, look just as fit and happy as the average person. Standing in front of Gill’s bowling alley the other day, one asked Wayland Finch if he had ever bowled any. He re plied that he had not, and added that so far as he recalled he had never shot pool, a gun or a pistol, or been fishing. And yet one won ders if Wayland has not got more out of life by saving his money, missing hard work, the mosquitoes and various other un pleasant things associated with what we call sport. GOOD, WHY NOT? B. C. Bunn came in from the field one day hot, tired and thir sty. Mrs. Bunn brought him a drink of water, fresh and cold from the well. Drinking long and deep of the most refreshing and satisfying drink man or God ever made, he paused to say: "Lizzie, this is the best water I ever drank. Don’t you reckon you of people who will not get to heaven. It says drunk' ards, whoremongers, blasphemers shall not enter the kingdom of heaven. It says that the one that maketh a lie shall not enter and that without is “every one that loveth and maketh a lie.” Os course we may excuse ourselves for using this “very present help in t ime of trouble” and say we cannot believe God would deal so cruelly with an individual for such a little thing as telling harmless stories. But if we be' lieve the Bible as the word of God, we must also believe that there will be no liars in heaven. double crossikg DIPLOMACY America has looked on with surprise and shock at the double dealings of Italy and Germany. Lately that has come to light which was believed all along; Germany and Italy had large forces in the Spanish war. .Now Germany parades her figthing men who helped Franco win the war and boasts of her aid. This is not strange at all to one having knowledge of Germany's ruler. One wonders if France and England had not so much at stake if they would not have played a hand in the war. And we have an idea that even the United States would diplomatically change sides, reverse, leave a weaker nation at another’s mercy, if it was found that by abiding by its treaty men or money would be lost. Coming to our own community we wonder how many of us would be willing to abide by our word of honor if we found that great loss would ensue. Before one starts throwing stones it would be well for him to consider whether he himself is without the sin of diplomatic double'crossing when personal interests are jeopardized. SCARE OUT OR PUT OUT WHICH? o We have read a number of times lately the statement that every president up to the present who was elected in a year that ended with a naught was killed or died during his administration. Were these coincidences? And why are they played up so fully just now when Mr. Roosevelt is said to be considering a third term? While our president has done some fine things during his administration, yet he has advanced some p’ans and theories that have scared business and throttled democracy. In every section of the country and every walk of life there is, we believe, a growing sentiment demanding the election of a more con' servative man. For eight years we have tried out his ideas and some of them have been proven un workable. He lacks that support of business to in sure the success of his program and policies. The trend of public opinion against him today would grow to a roar if not open rebellion before another four years would end. Our own opinion is that a man like Cordell Hull with his tried statesmanship and sincere conservatism would carry through the best of Mr. Roosevelt’s ideals and restore the con fidence of this nation in the administration of the government. could can some of it?” CHAMPION TRAVELING SALESMAN One reads in the papers these days of champions—boxing, base ball, golf and various other sports. But we met a champion of an un usual order a few days ago, a champion salesman. He is a Mr. W. M. Evett of Kenly. He travels for the Maxwell Co., New Bern, and sells hardware and groceries. He starts early Monday morning and travels over Eastern Carolina for five days in the week. When he returns to Kenly Friday night he has traveled 1150 miles and called on 262 customers. Yes, he is some traveler and salesman. A recent survey conducted in 35 states revealed that seven out of 10— farmers personally interview ed subscribed to a daily newspaper and more than half took a weekly.
