II ehaTc had men to say to me. am

set mad or something goes wrong. l
Will swear Is il thing TO be passed 1
over, as a small thing. to take Gods
name in vain. when He has said He !
Will not hold him suiltless that taketfl |
His name in vain? There are two
things that prompt men to do Wrons.,
pleasure and profit. cannot see how
any one can get any pleasure out Of.
swearing. DISAPPEARING the name of 1
God or the name of Jesus Christ !
cannot. see how any one can get any
pleasure in proclaiminS TO the world
that his heart is filled with the venom
of irreverence cannot understand
how any one can find pleasure in
swearing, when they wound the hearts !
of the followers OF Jesus Christ. !
There can be no profit in profanity. 1
No man has ever become more INTEL

for nc. l have known some men tot
Kill, and before the law. it was shown
to be iust:fiable homicide. have
known men to steal, and when the !
cases we're tried before the law, il
was said to be justifiable theft Butt
there Is no excuse for profanity. There
is no justification for one to curse by
the name of his God. Cursing is only
the fumes of a rotten heart. The 4
cursing, swearing man is ready for
any sin. No man can use profane Ian
guage without sinking very low down \
in the scale of morality.

labor and do all they work
I've ought to have these words /,
over manya store where the merchant
is dishonorng God byselling his goods
on the Lords day. We ought to have
these words over many a factory, that

carded, Remember the Sabbath dari
to keen it holy over the door of many |
an Office. railway station, baseball
park, golf grounds, soda fountains.
Some men boast that the Lord day
is thel, best day for business. The /
man who keeps his store open on the \
Lord IS day proclaims to the community
in which he lives that he is an anarch1
ist He dcffes the law az God and the |
Law of his own state. Instead Of keep
ing the Lord IS day holy. we have turn
ed it into a day Of frolic, pleasure and
devils day We ought to keep the
Sabbath day holy for four reasons
when He said. Thou shalt not kill
or Thou shalt not. steal and He
meant it Just as much when He said, /
Remember the Sabbath day to keep
lit holy. 4
