 He but mentioned the second com Thou shait not take the name of the Lord thy God h vain, for the Lord will
 not hold him gufltiess that saketh His
 name In vain. Tn discussing this com uiand, Dr. Torrsy said: s1f there ia any sin which shows that the very foundAtions of mans char acter are honexcofnbed and rotten. it Is the essin of profanity.

 pr. Torrsy leaned over and spoke di- rectly to large number of children who were present. when he reached the fifth command. Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long giveth thee ,s' But he also warned the older people that just because they had in turn become fathers and moth CTS. 1t doesn't follow that their own

 nr. Torrey aaid that the Eighth conn-
 nland. Thou shalt not steal" applies just as much to the man who sells goods under false pretences as to the out and out thief. It also. applies to the laborer who does not give to his
 employer in honest work a full equiv. alent for his pay. and to the employer 1 who does not pay the lab6rer q full equivalent for his work. It was In this connection that Dr. Torrey said | that he who gambles Is q thief. There
 was a ripple of amused approbation when he referred 10 bridge whist as 'Thls InfernaI Bridge."

 Commandment. at ieast---well- ll---once.
 which reads. ".Thou shalt not covet thy
 neighbor's house. thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife. nor his manser-

 neighhor's." There are two other weights heav-
 fer than these." pr. Torrey concluded.
