Is h Profanity?

In last weeks issue OF the Associate Re.
graphs very near the top Of the editorial
page:
"We honor God when we take Him at His
word and apply His promises 10 our own
needs"
"The man who keeps in touch with God
and In touch with his fellow men is q power
for good"
Are SUCH expressions not In violation OF the
command that thou shalt not take the name
Of the Lord thy God in vain9"
II they are not examples OF the way In
which we may use the Name flppantly
and lrreverently. what are they? There is
nothing else In them that we can see with
the unaided eye or with the untaught intel
lect.
II we say we "honor God" We do not
speak truly. We csnnet "honor God" But
We may honor ourselves in trying 10 obey
his laws. He cares not for our fattery. The
expression about keeping touch with God
and man Is equally at variance with the facts
AS well say: Keep in touch with God and
the DEVIL" II a.man obeys the divine law he
certainly will treat his fellow man in the
right way. Such a course necessarily fol-
lows.
Those who may use profanity for religloul
purposes 30: q fearful example. We are no
Informed that the scriptures anywhere au
thorize the tippsnt and irreverent use OF th'
sacred Name.
While the public restrain profanity on tht
street, may we not 60 TO church on Sunday
morning and hear 1t without let or hin
drance? And that too, in the presence OF pur'
women and innocent children? The licens'
to preach the gospel, or elevation TO tn
position OF editor. gives no authority for ir
reverent, useless or hippant use Of the Name
The pupil, Is not the place to play with o.

Verdict for $500.

A. NJ. Hill & Sons secured last week o YER
dict against the Southern for 500, damages To
horses. and 1t is thought the money will even
up things. AS long as the general officers OF
the railroads allow their subordinate hire
lings to act as If they owned their roads. and
then feel fully warranted in using their little
jobs 10 get seven" with their neighbors, the
railroads may expect to pay for damages
which may result from accident or careless
ness on their part.
Nobody has a right to take offense at being
refused a favor, but everybody who may have
business with a railroad, has a right to expect
civility and politeness from the representa-
tives of the great corporations.
1t seems that lack Of civility on the part OF
hirelings has excited In many parts Of the
country an %unfriendly feeling toward the rail-
roads, which railroads the people now too Of
ten regarded as public enemies.
When q little hireling treats a citizen with
contumely 1t is pretty safe to suggest that the
aforesaid offended citizen may some day
thereaf ter Sit on q jury.

Indian tongue. saying, "Moses, have
often heard of you. and l have seer
your picture and your name in thu
newspapers, but I have never before
seen you," and, offering his hand, add
ed. II am glad to meet you" Moses
scanned him from head to foot, an6
as the young man stood with out
