y the following frontpage editorial which lift from
gainesville Daily Register:
We went into an office the other day where there
were four or five men. One of the number, young
man, had the floor and holding forth a
mon, everyday topic, but expressing himself III
the most profane and the fouest and smuttiest Ian
guage he could command. Almost every other word
gary. He probably felt it necessary to use the
strong language in order to forcibly express him
self" and that exactly what he doing We
hardly remember what he talking about, but he
expressing himself" and left impression that
will be hard to forget
Those who drift into this senseleSs useless and
disgusting habit do not realize how their profanity
guard their speech carefully they do their
character BY using oath foul word
stant means Of emphasis, they to feel that they
cannot speak emphatcaly without them and
really handicapped when thrown into the presence
Of ladies where their remnant Of decency compels
them to guard their speech.
Many who make pretentions to religion
have well developed sense of decency and abhor
profane and vulgar speech and any who gives
serious thought to the matter will train his mind to
employ mode Of expression that be used with
out shame in any company
Profanity is gaining stronghold on the boys Of
today and it is not uncommon to hear little fellows
ten or twelve years old "cursng like troopers. They
hear the reveng in foul language and think it
sounds big talk like men. 1t is the most senseless
and most useless habit a formed and is
curse to all who come in contact with such man.
There is fine Sunday in the foregoing utteranc
and this is Sunday morning We leave it with YOU brethre
and suggest that all of sing the Doxology.
