Johnny had told a falsehood and his mother was anxiously
talking with him.
"The Bible says, Johnny," she told him, "that
no one who tells lies can go to heaven."
"Mamma," he asked, "did you ever tell a lie?”
"I dare
say I did, my son, when I was very small like you, and did not realize how
wicked it was."
"Did
papa ever tell a lie?”
"Perhaps
he might, when he was a little boy; but he would not do it now."
"Well," remarked the young philosopher, "I
don't know as I care about going to heaven, if there isn't going to be anybody
there but God and George Washington."
