Honesty In all things would seem to be what one should have a right to expect without question, As a matter of fact, dishonesty has be come so common wherever man 1 m found that people- look on the per son who is strictly honest as a-pe culiar individual Try reporting an undercharge (everyone complains about an overcharge) or returning .excess change, and you will see how unexpected honesty refilly is ••today. Under such circumstances the Christian needs to be vigilant lest he also accommodate his own ideas of honesty and begin to justify little evasions rather than being ab solutely upright. I. Honesty Respects Property Eights (Exod. 20:15). The very commandment against stealing implies that men have a right to that which they have made, earned, or saved. If no one had- property rights there could be no stealing. Some of our modem isms reason along that line, but. their reasoning is clearly not biblical, or Christian. \Thou shalt not steal” forbids ev ery kind of theft. It includes rob bery, burglary, safe - cracking, housebreaking; but It covers far 'more than those obvious wrongs.’ It ; refers to\such things'as'loafing on> one’s job, “borrowing” money from the cash clrawer, taking goods from £he stock with which one is workings stealing another man’s sermon and preaching it as one’s own, \lifting” material out of another man’s book without credit, contracting debts which one can never pay, using false weights and measures, adul terating food or other material, “watering” milk for sale, selling worthless stock, dodging taxes- or lying to the tax assessor, using a slug instead of a nickel in the tele phone to escape proper payment. It really means something to be honest, and it is a great testimony to the unregenerate world. n. Honesty Restore* Stolen Goods (Luke 19:1-10). The story of tiie conversion of the despised Jewish tax collector Zac- chaeus has many interesting fea tures, but for our lesson we stress but one, namely, that the reality of his conversion was demonstrated by his honesty in restoring that .which he had obtained unjustly, and that in fourfold measure. Insofar as it is possible to do so, the honest person will make right any known injustice. To be right with God must mean that we are to be right with men. The testi mony of many Christians could be presented to show that they have only entered upon real peace and usefulness as they have made con sistent effort to right every wrong, to pay every debt. Often such ac tions open opportunities for Chris tian testimony and point others to the redemption in Christ, which makes a man live .right as well as talk right. III. Honesty Resents Crookedness (Luke 19:45, 46). •In sharp contrast to the prompt Restitution by Zacchaeus,\ the con verted publican, was the stubborn disobedience and dishonesty of the priests in the temple. Jesus had already cleansed the temple of the traffic in money-changing and t|ie sale of animals for sacrifice prac ticed there (see John 2:13-17). On that occasion He rebuked them be^ cause they made His Father’s house “a house of merchandise.” Had they known the change of heart of a converted Zacchaeus they would have heeded His admonition. But they did not believe in Christ and went on with their ungodly desecra tion of the temple area until it be came “a den of thieves\ (v. 46). The Lesson Commentary of the United Lutheran Church makes an unusually apt application of the truth to “the goings on in our own churches” in the following para graph. Read it, ponder it, pray about1- it, then act, if it describes your church. \Is a church honest when it as sumes obligations that it cannot meet, and is then forced to use all sorts of questionable means to raise money for the benefit of the church?. Is a church, honest when it turns a building consecrated to the wor ship of God into a restaurant or a theater, regardless of whether it is done to make money for the church or to attract-people who are more Interested upt eating and drinking or playing than in the preaching of the Word and the worship of God? Is a church honest that turns Its pulpit into a lecture platform for the dis cussion of current events or the ^review of popular books or plays while the world is destroying itself because it does not know the time of its visitation? The answer . . is that the church is dishonest' that permits any such things, because it robs God of the honor fcnd glory due to Him, and it robs people of their chance of salvation by giving them stones when they need the bread at life.\ O U R N E I G H B O R S * INTERESTING ITEMS GATHERED BY RECORD’S ' CORRESPONDENTS • A T L A N T A -N O R T H COHOCTON - November 21, 1938. - Mrs. Jennie- Leonard, of North Chili, spent othe 'past week with Rev. and 'Mrs. E.

The parts were well chosen and the play was giv en in a very creditable mariner. The same play was given the fol lowing evening in the Village Hall in Rushville. The selections ren dered by the high school band, under the direction of Mr. Carney, reflected a great deal of credit up on his ability to work with pupils in the building of a central school band.

It is much like the fall of 1920. We well re member that season— just after we came back from the World War. We went on the farm and worked putting in crops. 'We had too much acreage for one, so we got William B. Dunton and Taylor Karnes to help put in sixteen acres of contract beans. The early growing season was ideal for everything. The beans were the finest we ever saw in a field—big plants, well filled with pods and beans. The price for contract va rieties was about $4.25 per bushel. We had $1,200 worth of beans on the sixteen acres of land. We got them harvested and in the bam with only a dew to fall upon them. The pods were a creamy white, and a mighty pretty sight. This season. we have about five crops like the one we mention above. It has been a good grow ing season and an ideal fall to get crops harvested. A carload of “ contracts” and barley' will be loaded here this week Friday and Saturday. - I /Middlesex Free WiD Baptist Hey, Q u rse Kins.

All who can are invited STEUBEN COUNTY SEEKS INCREASED NURSING SERVICE Plans for an increased public health nursing service in Steuben County are being discussed before local clubs and organizations by volunteer speakers sent out by a committee interested in a more adequate nursing program, par ticularly in the rural sections of the county. At present two nurses are employed by the county, as signed to the Homell and Bath are?s. A third nurse, supplied for an indefinite period by the Social Security Board, is assigned to the Corning area. It is proposed to enlarge this service to a staff of ten nurses, each responsible for service to about 5,000© inhabitants. It is claimed that the present staff are spending about half of their time in travel. The proposed plan would fur nish a school nursing program in sections where it is not now avail able. It is also proposed to fur nish service to children o f pre school age; bedside nursing; to provide maternity care during the pre-natal and post-natal periods; to give special emphasis to all communicable disease; and to furnish a generally more adequate public health educational program. The Supervisors will be asked for an additional appropriation o i $9,825.00, which amount would be matched by the state, and to gether with the $2,675.00 now ap propriated by the county, and also Jnatched by the $tate, would finance the service proposed. It is claimed that this would repre sent an increased taxation of about two cents on each $1000 valuation. ^ Requests, for speakers should be made to James P. Hallahan, Cor ning, or Dr. E. W. Woodbury, Bath. BOSWELL CORNERS November 14, 1938. (Received too late for last week) Mr. and Mrs. Ray Morrow and daughter, of Academy, were Sun day callers of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Reed.
