THE LATEST EDITION OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
THE LATEST EDITION OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
1. Thou shalt have one God only; who
Would be at the expense of having two? 2. No graven images may be
Worshipped—save in the currency. 3. Swear not at all; since for thy curse,
Thine enemy is none the worse. 4. At church on Sunday to attend,
Will help to keep the world thy friend. 5. Honor thy parents; that is, all
From whom advancement may befall. 6. Thou shalt not kill; but need not strive
Officiously to keep alive. 7. Adultery is never fit
Or safe (for women) to commit. 8. Thou shalt not steal,—an empty feat,
When, 'tis as lucrative to cheat. 9. Bear not false witness,—let the lie
Have time on its own wings to fly. 10. Thou shalt not covet: but tradition
Approves all forms of competition.
