god,
Thou shalt not take the name of
the Lord thy God in vain"
Some people think that that is of no
consequence and they will break that
commandment every day. There is not
IN this universe. in my opinion, a
greater cause for amaZement than
Gods forbearance and patience with
the blasphemer. Oh, profanity comes
either from depraved heart, or shows
that a blasphemer has the scorn and
contempt of God
When Man Swears,
He Tags Himself
When a man swears. he has tagged
himself. There is no street car, no
factory, no shop, no camp, no col
lege, no place that seems to be free
from the plague The motorman
swears at the motor The engineer
damns the engine The fireman
cusses the fires. Boys swear at their
lessons. Ball players cuss the UNI
pire. Merchants cuss the clerks EN-
ployes swear at the boss. The boss
swears at them. The fisherman cusses
his hooks. The travelling man damns
because the train is late, or his meals
are late. or no water in the pitcher
Sailors swear at the ropes, swear at
the wind. Farmers damn the cattle
and cuss the hogs. Editors swear at
reporters and reporters damn edi-
tors. Policemen swear at their chief.
Oh, my, what foolish habit it is!
l Will tell you-can you show me
where profanity ever helps anybody :?
DID the stone you stumbled over get
out of your way, when you cussed?
Did the wind stop blowing because
you cussed it for blowing your hat
off? Does your wife love you more
after you have given her cussing?
Does your employee work harder for
you, after you have damned him for
half hour? Nc,
Did the blooc stop flowing after
you cussed the knife for cutting
your fingers? No! Some of you don't
deliberately intend to do it. Some
Of you are kind-hearted, you don't
realize how it cuts into the hearts
of people to have you cuss. You have
a mother, haven't you? Yes. You
i, have wife, or sister, or daughter
| that you fondly love and cherish
! Suppose you heard some man vilify
her name. Wouldn't your blood boil
if you heard somebody damn your
mother, or sister, or wife? Don't
/ you suppose the blood of a Christian
boils when he hears you damn and
cuss his best friend?
Damn Best Friend When
You Damn God.
When you damn and cuss God YOU
are damning the best friend you have
! got. All the evil that comes to you
comes from the devil. If you want
to cuss anybody, cuss the devil, don't
cuss God. All the trouble comes from
the devil. God wants to do good. a
man is mighty low down if he'd cuss
his mother. Better than your mother
your wife and children, is God. A
man must be low down, when he turn:
around and cusses God who wants tC
keep him out of hell.
/ Remember the Sabbath day, te
keep it holy"
To the Jews it was the seventh day
concentrating the old creation. One
of the best evidences of the resurrec
ton of Jesus Christ is the fact that
Peter, James, john and Paul changed
from keeping its seventh day to keep
ing the first day of the week. With
: out rebellion, from that day to thi,
we have kept the first day, because
Jesus Christ arose, and we have KEEP
the first day commemorative the
Christian era. They keep the seventh
day concentrating the old Jewish
era But that is past. We are keep
ing the first day of the week and Goo
is honoring every Christian who has
kept it from that day to this.
oh how much Sabbath hraak
ing there is done in the country!
The Sabbath was made for man
and man ought to have the Sab
bath day. Your suit of clothes
was made for you, or your shoes,
/ your house. The Sabbath was
made for man. Man ought to have
it, and if society doesn't allow
j him to have it and the man
who is obliged to work all the
time as a slave, and for any class
to be compelled to work seven
days in a week is an outraged
! We have always been in dan
ger of losing the Sabbath. We
have lot of goddess, goodfor-
nothing tyrants in this country
that have no use for Gods law,
} and they would rub the statutes
from our books. Oh, if the hands
of noble men and women were
not banded together to fight to
maintain the Sabbath, sir, moth
ing in the universe would save it
from being eliminated from our
statute books and torn to shreds!
