This Jesus recogniz ed and, for this reason, strongly con . demned the hypocrisy of the religious leaders of his day, who strictly ad- hered to all external rituals, such as - the washing of the hands before eat ; 1 Ing, but who were not so careful that i their hearts and lives were corres ", pondingly clean. They were examples fof ."living lies" because their outward appearances testified to one thing, ; while their hearts were not in har mony with their actions. Lying does i not Just happen, it proceeds through y unclean lips from an unclean heart. In our reference from John 8:42-47, Jesus is arguing s-with his enemies, the Pharisees, who, because they were morallv unable to receive his mes sage, branded him a liar. Because what he declared did not fit in with what they were teaching, they refus ed to believe him, incited others to do likewise, and, finally, by the use of paid, false witnesses, had him con demned to death and crucified on the - However, Jesus told them that if they were what they claimed to be God's chosen children they would be lieve that he was what he claimed to be God's son. If they were really God's children," tiey would have had spiritual discernment necessary to recognize Jesus as divine.

"Men are responsible for their volitions, 'and, as Bin is not the direct offspring of their own wills, but the offspring of the surrender . of their own wills to thjs - mysterious will behind them, their deliverance from , this personal influence is possible and is the result of Christ's salvation." (Geo. Reith.) Lying, hypocrisy, untruthfulness, dishonesty and. the .like ere just as prevalent today as they were in the time of Moses or of. Jesus Christ. In private life and in public life,' uiere are glaring examples of all forms of false witnessing. Very often do we read of witnesses in court being pro secuted for perjury, for giving testi mony that is later proved to have been untrue. In international affairs, we also have instances where nations sign treaties, apparently with no in- tention of abiding by the provisions contained in them. Thus, we have witnessed the breakdown in private, local, state, national and international affairs 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-day's business transactions depend upon our faith in the trustworthiness and honesty of those with whom we deal. We trust themerchant from whom we bay an article to sell us worthy merchandise at a fair price. We mail a letter to a loved one in a distant city, confident that it will be delivered because we believe in the honesty of the, postal employees.' - We: follow our" doctor's orders because we have faith in his integrity and confidence in his ability. What a terrible thing it -would be if we could trust no onel Therefore, we should do all in our power to guard ourselves against the formation of the habit of deceitful ness. An easy habit to acquire, it is an unusually difficult one to break. Once one's reputation for twJJftuW ness is destroyed, it is practicaHy im possible for it to be rebuilt. Let's be honest in our dealings with those in our home, in our business and social life, in the making and keeping of promises, and in the varied and sun dry contacts of our lives. Let us so live each day that the telling of a lie, either to our .fellow men or to God, will be unnecessary. erate fishing fleets in Mexico? 10.
