Speak the Truth.

LISTEN, boys and girls, to these words of God: “Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are His delight.” (Prov. 12:22.) Avoid lying; it is an awful snare, as well as an awful sin. God hates lying. He very often punishes lying lips in this life, and He has said that “without” his beautiful city is “whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.” (Rev. 22:15.) Tell the truth at all costs. God knows your inmost heart, and tell the truth, remembering His eye is looking right down into your soul.
