If God sent Korah and his company headlong to hell for speaking against Moses and Aaron, do you that mock at the Spirit of Christ think to escape unpunished? Did you never read what God did to Ananias and Sapphira for telling but one lie against it? Also to Simon Magus for but undervaluing of it?
When at last he decided to return to the abode of the white man, he took with him a fund of recollection and incident of the most sensational character, and before he had been at home with his own kindred a week, he had earned the reputation of being a modern Ananias, ten times more mendacious than the original article.
Suppose Ananias had been sent to Paul, when he was on his way to Damascus breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples, and casting them into prison, to tell him not to kill so many as he intended; and to let enmity die out of his heart gradually, but not all at once.
She teached me 'bout 'Scuffle little chillens and forbid 'em not, and 'bout 'Ananias telled Sapphira he done it with his little hatchet, and 'bout 'Lijah jumped over the moon in a automobile: I know everything what's in the Bible. Miss Cecilia sure is a crackerjack; she's 'bout the stylishest Sunday-School teacher they is."
"Does it?" inquired Kate, as she slipped quietly into the other rocker. Helen shook her head decidedly. "Not when you're living in this 'dump' of a village. Say, Mr. Bryant, you've heard of Mr. Ananias in the Bible? If you haven't you ought to have.

But a man named Ananias and his wife Sapphira sold some property, and with her approval kept back part of the price and brought only a part of it to the apostles. "Ananias," said Peter, "why has Satan put into your heart the desire to deceive the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land? While the land remained unsold, was it not your own?
The price of necessities depended on the conscience of the individual supplier and the ignorance of the people. The truck system was universal; thrift at a discount and the sin of Ananias an all too common one; that is, taking supplies from one man and returning to him only part of the catch.
Instantaneous as the lightning of heaven, Almighty vengeance descended upon the unhappy criminal, and withered him in a moment. "Ananias hearing these words, fell down and gave up the ghost; and great fear came on all them that heard these things."
"What does the kind gentleman mean, Bunny? Wait! I have it thieves! Common thieves!" And he laughed loud and long in the moneylender's face and mine. "You may laugh," said Levy. "I'm too old a bird for your chaff; the only wonder is I didn't spot you right off when we were abroad." He grinned malevolently. "Shall I tell you when I did tumble to it Mr. Ananias J. Raffles?"
