THOUGHT FOR TODAY
“A false witness shall not be
unpunished; and he that
speaketh lies shall not escape."-
Proverbs 19:5.
*********
Doesn’t the perjury that has
come to light in Watergate
make you sort of ill? ... You’ve
heard about the fellow who’d
tell a lie when the truth would
sound better; some people have
just about that much respect for
integrity. Honor is coming into
• too short supply, isn’t it? For
some, cheating has come to be a
way of life. And more’s the
shame.

TODAY’S CHUCKLES
“I’d like to leave a call for
twelve noon.”
“Sorry sir, but we don’t make
twelve o’clock calls.”
“Okay, then give me two six
o’clock calls.”
