After reading the appn‘ipriatz- [mt-mgr.» of
Balm, the Rev. T. Ill-Wilt 'l'ulmzigi'. D.
D... preached on the habit of r'llrklll‘g and
swearing. Hi: text was from the Book of
Job, ii, 7, band ll: 'ho went Satan forth
from the presence of the lmrd,niu‘.l smote
Job with sore boils from the sole of his
foot unto hi: crown. And he took him a
potshcrd to scrape hirinelf wltlml; and be
letdown among the ashes, Tbvn naid his
wife unto him, 'Doot than bllll retain thine
integrity? Curie God, and die.”

A story oriental and marvolons. Job was
therlchest marlin all the can. He had cam-
el: and oxen and nerves and film-p, and, what

would have made him rich without anything 5

018, men sons and threc daughters. it was
the habit of those children to gnllwr t: anther

forfamily reunion, fine day Job in thinking r

of his chiblrcn as gathered flin'ctlfl'l'fll ii bau-
quot at the elder brother's hon-,1".

While the old man is orator! at his tent
doorhe secs some one running,‘o,-vidcntly,
from hisrnanncr, bringing bud now». What
isthematter now! "Oh," say.» the memo-
g'er, "u foraging party of Sultans has
“fallen upon the oxen and the uses. and
Mmyed them and butchm'ed all the ser-
vants acept myself.” Staxulnsiilc. Another
memenger running. What i.» the matter
nowl "Oh," says the man, "the lightning
hustrut'k the sheep and the ahcplu-rlls, and
alltheshcphcrds are destroyed cum-pt my—
self." Stand aside. Anothcrnicsscngcr run-
ning. What is he matter now: “Uh," he
says, "the Chaldeans have vaptuml the
camels and slain all the camel drivers cxccpt
myself.” Stand aside. Ammu- rmswnger
running. What is the mnttvr now? "Uli,"

‘hesays, "a hurricane struck the four cor-

ners of the tent where your childrrn wvro os-
sembled at the banquet, and they are all
dead.”

But the chapter of calamity has not coda].
Job was smitten with clephantia-is, or blur-k
leprosy. Tumors from hand to foot —-fore-
head ridged with tubercles-«yahoo lull

until with none to dross hi3 sores, he! sits

with this loathsome and Ilnglh‘llng dim-mo.

Ah, Job knew right wall that swearing
Would not cure one of the tumors of his ago-
nized body, would not bring back one of his
«lestroyml mmelsxould not rnstorvoni- of his
dad children. He knew that profanity would
only make the pain more unbmrnblo. and tho
poverty more distrcssing, and the intrave—
ment moreoxoruciating. But. judging from
the profanity abroad in our «lay, you might
come to the conclusion that them mu some
great advantageto be ranged from profanity.

BlaSpherny is all abroad. You lll‘flr it in
every direction. The draymnn swmring; at

the one is as' much blasphemy as the other.

There are times when we must cry out to
thc hard by meson of our phyrical agony or
our menu] distress, and that is only throw-
ing out our wail: hand toward the strong
arm of a father, It was no profanity when
James A. Garfield, shot in the Washington
depot, cried out: "My God, what does this
mean!” Thereisnoprofanity incallingout
uponGod inthedayof trouble, in the day
of darkness, in the day of physical anguish,
intheday ofbermvement; but lamspcnking
uowof thetrlviality and of the recklessness
with which the uauteof God is wnwtimes
managed. Thewhole laudts cursed with it.

A gentleman coming from the far west It

who were indulging in profanity, and be

possible,” raid the man, "that we have up
and so many profanities the last. few

But is a comparatively unimportant thing
if amanmakesa record of our lnlproprio

eration is that every improper word, every

they pour out the furyof a whole year in one
redhotpuragruph of five minutes. I. knew'
of a man who excused hirmelf for the habit,
saying: “I only swear once in a great while.
~ I must do that just tocleer myself nut."

The habit cornea also from the profuse rule
of byworda, The transition from a byword
which may be perfectly harmless to impre-
cation and profanity,iu not a wry large
transition. It is “mystarsl‘” and “mercy on
me!" and “good gracious!" and “by (longer
and “by Jove!" and you go on with that a
little while, and than you swear. These
Words, perfectly hannlcso in themselves, are ,
out door to imprecatilm and blmphcmy. A “
profuseuseof byword: always ends in pro
faulty. The habit is creeping upinto the
highest {styles of society. Womtn‘ have no

They will order a man out of the parlor in—
dulgiag in blasphemy, and yet you will
sometimes find them with fairy fan totho
lip,nnd under chandeliers which bring no
, blush to their cheek, taking on their lips the l
‘ holiest of norms in utter triviality. l

Why, my friends, the English language is
comprehcmive and capable of expressing all
shadw of fueling and every shame of en-
ergy. Are you happy! Noah Webster will
give you ten thousand words with which to
express your exhilaration Are you right.

in the vocabulary, righteou; vot‘almlnry
—whele armies of denunciation, and l
worn, and sarcasm, and irony, and tari-
cature, and wrath. You express your—
self against some maniacal! or hypocrisy
’ inall the oaths that ever smoked up from
the pit, and I will come right on after you
and give a thousaudfold more cmphasie of
denunciation to the same meanness and the
same hypocrisy in words mvrosis which no
slime has ever trailed, and into which the‘g
hm of hell have never shot their forked
tongues—4t»: pure,the innocent. llml hon—
ored Anglo—Saxon in which Milton sang and
John Bunyan dreamrd and Shakespeare
dramatized.

There is no excuse for profanity when we
have arch a magnificent language—such a
flow of good words, potcm worth, mighty
words, words just to suit every (Trials and
every case. Whatever bu the mine of it,,
profanityis on the increase, and if yam do‘
not know it, it is because your cars have
bccn hardened by the din of imprwntlons so
that youareunt stirred and moved as you
ought to be by profunitics in those cities
which are enough to bring a hurricane of
fire like that which contoured Sodom.

Do you know that this trivial “of.“ of Gods
name results in perjury! Do you know that
people who take: the name of God on their
lips in recklessness and thoughtlmmess are
fostering the crime of perjury! Make the

“How is it possible for you to sell these goods
to verycheap! [can't understarul it." ”Ah!"
hercplia, with a twinkle of the eye, "the

mean as much as it would were tho name of
