Exodus 20:16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.… A gentleman writes that he once saw the title "Slander Book," printed on the back of a small ledger in a friend's house. On examining it, he found that the various members of the household were charged so much for every piece of slander they were found uttering. The accounts were very neatly and correctly kept, credits entered, etc., as in a merchant's office. The plan originated with a good young girl, who had observed the wretched effects of evil-speaking in families and in the neighbourhood.
