Truth on All Days

By Editor

In the office chapel the other morning the pastor said in substance: I suppose that most of us have not forgotten that to-morrow, April 1, is a day which heathen custom has set apart as a time in which we may tell lies; but falsehood on one day is just as bad as falsehood on another. The apostle says, "Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds." Neither does sport justify the foolish lying and jesting; for "as a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death, so is the man that deceiveth his neighbor, and saith, Am I not in sport?" "Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor," on all days, under all circumstances. And the Signs responds, as will all its truth-loving readers, Amen.
