" He advised
his hearers to read in advance the seventeenth chapter of Mark.
The next night he arose and said: "I am going to preach on 'Liars'

A Sunday school teacher asked a small girl the other day why Ananias
was so severely punished. The little one thought a minute, then
answered: "Please, teacher, they weren't so used to lying in those
days."
"Does your husband ever lie to you?"
"Never."
"How do you know?"

less important matters."
"Do you really mean to call me a liar?" asked one rival railroad man
of another railroad man, during a dispute on business they had on
Austin Avenue yesterday.
"No, Colonel, I don't mean to call you a liar. On the contrary, I say

offering a reward of $25 and a chromo to any other man who will say he
believes me when I say you never lie," was the response.
