THE STORY OF UNCLE GEORGE-Goerge Mueller

Being honest is not always easy.

The children in a prominent family decided to give their father a book of the family’s history for a birthday present. They commissioned a professional biographer to do the work, carefully warning him of the family’s “black sheep” problem: Uncle George. Uncle George had been executed in the electric chair for murder.

I can handle that situation so that there will be no embarrassment,” the biographer assured the children. I’ll merely say that Uncle George occupied a chair of applied electronics at an important Government Institution. He was attached to his position by the strongest ties and his death came as a real shock.
