Let Your Yes Be Yes

In one of his first attempts to run for political office, Lincoln was
given $200 by the Whig Party to cover his election expenses. He won
the election and then promptly returned all the money he had not spent
on the election, $199.25. He explained that he had traveled on his own
horse and stayed at the homes of his friends. He said, "My only outlay
was 75 cents for a barrel of cider which some farm hands insisted that
I treat them to." Lincoln illustrated Jesus' teachings in the Sermon
on the Mount when He said, "Let your yes be yes and your no, no."
