What magic in that word “profit! i ii Off the Track We have got to disagree with Rev. Lichliter of that big St. Louis church, chairman of that city’s public morals committee, ‘who justifies lying on the ground that “the duty of truth telling fies within the realm where others have a right to the truth; no one has a right to ask a prying or malicious question.” We think this a mighty cross-eyed view of morality and mighty poor doctrine to inculcate into our youth. A lie is a lie and never justified. There is no realm confining the duty of truth tolling. Given the alternative of lying, or telling truth that seriously hurts, there is always a way out by silence. It is perhaps true as a rule, that no one has a right to ask a ‘ing or malicious question, but shall we instruct our children lie under such circumstances or to frankly declare to the pry- ing or malicious questioner that the matter is none of his or her Blamed business? There is already too much lying, too much evasion, too ee much flattery, too much false diplomacy in our association with . one another.
