“Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron” (I Timothy 4:2). I have often given the illustration of my mother taking me to the “side show” at Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey Circus, back in the early 1950s, when it was still in a tent with sawdust on the floor. But you went into a “side show” to see various weird and strange attractions, before you went into the circus.
