Some marvellous increases in the

a good index to the splendid pros

that the increase in the personality

would be about $l0,000,000, The

A Great Evil.

If those who are given to pro-
family, and their name is legion,
will give me one good reason for
the practice, ] will give ten why
they should not swear.
OF all the useless and senseless
and unmanly practices that men
engage, there is not onein all the
list that has 80 little to recon-
mend or justify it as swearing.
Swearing adds nothing to ones
manhood, and certainly nothing
to his self-respect. The true man
never engages in SO unmanly a
practice. And if he should, he
would not think any more of him.
self for it.
Swearing does not elevate one
in the esteem of others; but in
the esteem of many he is just
that much less of man. An
oath does not confirm the truth
of ones statement. Many try to
confirm. with an oath, a lie,
thereby giving it the semblanceI
of truth. The truth needs aoI
such allv. lit does not care to be
found in such company. A he
needs to be supported by an oath,
to give it the semblance of truth,
and make it pass muster.
Swearing is indecent, and
does not belong to good
society: but its habitat is the
street corners, the alleys, gamb-
ling and drinking places, and
such other places where it is
thought feminine ears will not
hear it. and a few men for whom
the swearer has enough respect
not to swear in their presence.
While we should wage re,eat-
less war against the liquor evil,
and the gambling dens, as they
are conducted in violation or

AS THEY Do IN JAPAN.

Just now, the eyes of the world
are turned upon Japan, the small
empire which has SO recently en-
tered the ranks of civilization,
and is 50 alive with patriotism,
pluck and determination to main
tain national rights. 1t is said
that in this land Of wonderful
progress, the language contains
no words of profanity, cut and
dried oaths, or even slangy, half
swearing by-words. When the
Jap pinches his finger in the door,
or misses the nail and hits his
thumb, there isn't a single epi-
thet in his vocabulary to express
his emotions, except the language
used by the most refined woman.
When the Jap father rises at
night to still the walls of his in
fant progeny. and steps on a
tack, he can only groan and bear
it as quietly as would his wife.
When a Japanese mule or horse
balks or SHES, kicks or otherwise
tries the patience of the owner.
"a mild rebuke IS the only outlet
for evaporation. When bill col
lectors press, and duns become
epidemic, the impecunious Jap
must yield meekly to the inevi-
table, and bear in silence, or re-
turn insults with polite sarcasm.
When the stove smokes, and
the maid servant, or man servant
fails to appear when needed
most, the Jap must bear his part
of the domestic burdens as grace
fully as his wife, for there's no
means to ventilate his annoyance
by the use of forceful language.
Since we claim to be the most
progressive nation on the globe,
and ever ready to improve, why
not adopt the custom Of the So
called benighted heathen Japa-
nese, and drop from the vocabu-
larry of our language the profane
expletives and curse words that
mar and detract from its beauty
and dignity? 1t might take
strenuous effort to give up set
habits of swearing, and the free
use of profane by-words, but it
would be a decided step toward
the perfection. which as a people
we should aim. In other words,
let us do as they do in Japan,
when it comes to swearing, pro-
family or by-words.

WORK SUITED TO ALL.

Most of US labor under the be-
lief that work is a curse, sent
upon mankind by the disobedi-
ence Of our first parents, whereas,
work was one of the blessings OF
Paradise. Man was given gar
den, to dress, keep, and make
habitable, and ever since the ex-
pulsion from Eden, the fact has
remained that the busiest people
are the happiest, and the idIest
the most miserable, thus making
it possible for all to enjoy s'some
flowrets of Eden.'
Work is not only the obedience
to divine command, but each in
dividuaI is so constituted that
some special kind of work is par
ticularly appropriate and suited
to, him physically and mentally.
There is work for every one, but
too often we pass by the work
which comes to our hands, and
envy some one else their gift or
work. Another's gifts may be
more brilliant than ours, but so
are their responsibilities. The
quietest, humblest people, who
may never become known to fame
or fortune, may be doing the
greatest work for his Maker and
feIlow-men.
No one else can do our work,
and We are making the most of
our lives when we cheerfully ac-
cept our places, and do our work
we'll.

civil law, we should not fail to
thunder in the ears of the swear
er that every time he utters an
oath he violates the third statue
in the greatest code ever given
to the world. This code was
written amid smoke, fire and
thunderings, and says: Thou
shalt not take the name of the
Lord thy God in vain; for the
Lord will not hold him gnflfless
that taketh His name in vain. 7
Boys yet in knee pants, many
of them, are adept swearers, hay-
ing gotten their first lesson doubt
less from one who should have
been their moral guardian.
According TO my observation,
there is no other evil SO common.
Men in high social, business and
political and professional stations
are as guilty of this sin, but in a
little more genteel way, perhaps,
than the '.bum, or corner loafer
Shall | say those whose names oc
cupy a prominent place on the
church records are guilty of this
most detestable practice. 1t is
easy enough to play the role Of
saint on Sunday, and with some,
it is just as easy to play the role
of his Satanic majesty during the
week.
If some mothers could hear
falling from the lips of those

vile oaths that others hear, their
hearts surely would sink within
them. Where does the RESPONSE
