STOP 1T

STOP 1T
The small boy-he could not have
been more than six years old-was
crying.
He stood over a sidewalk grating
Near him was larger boy taunting
him
The small boys grief stopped the
passersby. A woman said TO him.
"Whnt is the matter. my son?"
With burst OF sobblng the little
fellow pointed down below the graf
ing and said;
"He threw my ball down there"
BY this time a small crowd had
gathered. A man. turning to the old
er boy. said to him;
SHANE on you! He is smaller than
you. Why did you throw his ball
down there?"
Didn't do II. Mother fellow done
It." responded the youngster But he
quit making fun and stood on the de
fensive.
The denial stopped the small boys
sobs. His grief was merged into re.
sentiment. He grew suddenly indig-
nant. And with his anger came a
great mouthful OF fearful oaths.
The swearing Of the tiny lad was
frightful Women. shocked. turned
away. The men laughed.
Here was a mere babe uttering i'm
pious speech with all the ease Of a
common bargeman.
or course he had learned his swag
gering anathemas oy listening TO his
elders-probably in the street, possibly
In his own home.
Have you not heard such outbursts
from mere children? stir up the anger
Of the average boy on the streets and
you will receive a sample.
II is abhOrrent. But
Have you ever set the example Cor
some infant who scarce knew whnt he
did when he repeated your unholy dis
course?
II so. out OF the mouths Of babes
you are condemned.
Swearing is blasphemy. II is pecul
fairly Of the west You will never
hear a Buddhist use the name of the
Almighty by way Of emphasis. and he
cannot quite understand how a Chris
ian can take the name OF his God n

Stop It, because It is a useless habit
which adds nothing TO the force OF
English speech. But If for no othel
reason--
Stop II lest when you are dead som'

your profanity.
