Have You Ever Been Falsely Accused?

It’s a message I’d received from a dear reader that made me write on being falsely accused.

- Robert Clements

The message I received was: “Bob, can I have a small story to comfort a friend of mine who has been falsely accused in public?”

“Do I have a story?”

“Do you, Bob?”

“Many! About those who have accused me of the wildest things in public! In fact, in my hand I’ve got a copy of the minutes of my society meeting, which is a pack of lies, written by some who have become adept at it!”

“How do I handle all this falsehood? By reminding myself again and again of the person, who after doing all the good anybody ever could ever do on earth, when brought in front of the very public he had helped, heard the same people shouting, ‘Put him to death! Put him to death!’”

“How could that ever happen?”
