Seventh Commandment

"Thou shalt not commit adultery."

An English army-officer in India who had been living an impure life

went around one evening to argue religion with the chaplain. During

their talk the officer said:

"Religion is all very well, but you must admit that there are

difficulties--about the miracles, for instance."

The chaplain knew the man and his besetting sin, and quietly looking

him in the face, answered:

"Yes, there are some things in the Bible not very plain, I admit; but

the seventh commandment is very plain."
