PRorANE SwEARrNa.-Rev. E. H.
Chaplin, the celebrated Universalist
preacher, thus alludes to profane swear
ing in one of his discourses on the
Lords Prayer
If we would use the prayer sincere
", we must hallow Gods name upon
our lips. 1t will never be light word
there. It will never drop out in jest.
or ring in blasphemy. wish to touch
this point earnestly. I would speak
strongly against the common sin of Pro-
faneness. Are there any before me who
are accustomed to use Gods name as
an expletive, and to handy it as BY
word? Who employ it in all kinds of
conversation, and throw it about in every
place? Perhaps in their hearts, they
consider this habit as an accomplish
ment think it manly and brave to
swear! Let me say, then. that pro-
faneness is a brutal vice. He who in
dulges in it is no gentleman. / care
not what his stamp may be in society.
/ care not what clothes he wears, or what
culture he boasts. Despite all his re-
fnement, the light and habitual taking
of Gods name, betrays course nature.
and brutal will. Nay, he tacitly ad-
mits that it is ungentlemanly. He res
trains his oaths in the presence of la
dies; and he who fears not to rush into
the chancery of heaven, and swear by
the Majesty there, is deceutly observ-
ant in the drawing room and the parlor.
But, again, Profaneness is an unmanly
and silly vice. It certainly is not a
grace in conversation, and it adds no
strength to it. There is no organic SYM
metry in the narrative that is ingrained
with oaths and the blasphemy that bois-
ters an opinion does not make it any
more correct. Our meteorological has
variety enough to make a story sparkle,
and to give point to wit; it has tough
ness enough and vehemence enough to
furnish the sinews for debate, and to
drive home conviction, without degrad-
ing the holy epithers Of Jehovah. Nay,
the use Of these explosives, argues a
limited range of ideas. and conscious

if We can find no other phrases through
which to vent our choking passiong, we
had better repress that passion. And.
again, Profaneness is mean vice
According to general estimation, he
who repays kindness with contumely,
he who abuses his friend and benefactor,
is deemed pitiful and wletched. And
yet, oh profane man whose name is it
You handle so lightly? 1t is that of
your best Benefactor You, whose
blood would boil to hear the venerable
names Of your earthly parents heralded
about in SCOTS and jest, abuse. without
compunction and without thought, the
name Of your heavenly Father ? Final
y, Profaneness is an awful vice. Once
more I ask, whose name is it you so
lightly use ? The name of God have
you ever pondered its meaning? Have
you ever thought what it is that you
mingle thus with your passion and your
Wit! It 10 the name Of Him whom the
angels worship, and whom the heaven
