Rev. Geo. l.. Thurlow Speaks on Pro.
family

Rev. George Loring Thurlow of the
Federated church spoke Sunday even
ing on Profanity. He saw that many
people Identified profanity with bias
phemy but that while it did include
Gods name disrespectfully 1t by no
means was all the word meant any
more than the word burglar was equi-
violent to criminal. A burglar was
a criminal but there were many other
offenders against the law who were
also or minals. The word profane
is derived from two Latin words pro
and fanum. meaning in front of the
temple. The place in front of the
temple was that place which was
common to everybody. walked upon,
unfenced, trodden upon. The pro-
fame man therefore is the man who
treads upon and permits others to,
who tears down the fences, who holds
cheaply. those things in his life which
ought to be held reverently and treat
ed sacredly. He Is profane Amer
lean who holds cheaply his citizen
ship. He is profane child of God
who does not reverence God, his
ne ghbors personality or his own.
There are some things which distin-
guish us from the brutes. There is
very little which separates us from
the animals when We tear down the
fences, when we hold cheaply when
we tread upon or permit others to
trample upon our sense of reverence
for God, our brother and ourself.
