But it is thirty.

There have been houses built, of which it might be said that every nail driven, every foot of plastering put on,

Every yard of pipe laid, every shingle hammered, every brick mortared, could tell of falsehood connected therewith.

There are men attempting to do ten or fifteen pieces of work.

Who have not the time or strength to do more than five or six pieces, but by promises never fulfilled keep all the undertakings within their own grasp.

This is what they call nursing the job.

How much wrong to his soul and insult to God a mechanic would save if he promised only so much as he expected to be able to do?

Society has no right to ask of you impossibilities, said

You cannot always calculate correctly, and you may fail because you cannot get the help that you anticipate.

But now I am speaking of the willful making of promises that you know you cannot keep.

Did you say that that shoe should be mended?

That coat repaired, those brick laid, that harness sewed, that door grained, that spout fixed, or that window glazed by Saturday.

Knowing that you would neither be able to do it yourself nor

Nor get anyone else to do it.

Then before God and man you are a liar.

You may say that it makes no particular difference, and that if you had told the truth, you would have lost the job, and that people expect to be disappointed.

But that excuse will not answer.

There is a voice of thunder rolling among the drills, and planes, and shoe lasts and shears, which says

All liars shall have their place in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone.

I next noticed ecclesiastical lies, that is, falsehoods told for the purpose of advancing churches and sects.
