Y.?Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyteiian Church, Hamburg avenue and WeirSeld street, on the theme "Profanity," thp Rpr Tro TXT T\7om tm nl XTnr? r? nr?or*n I pastor, took as his text Exodus 20:7, "Thou salt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain." He said: If there is anything that is disgusting it is unbridled profanity. And the prevalence of useless, pointless, unjustified swearine merits the atten I tion not alone of the Church but also of the civil authorities whose duty It is to keep the moral atmosphere of this and every other community free of verbal pollution. The command ought to be obeyed and the civil law on the point ought to be enforced. The silly fool who spreads the germs of diphtheria or typhoid or smallpox broadcast throughout the community will soon feel the iron hand of the law laid heavy on his shoulders and he ought very properly be put under lock and key until sanity has returned; but any man without a sense of moral respectability or "even elementary decency may saturate the moral atmosphere, in which we have to live and to rear our youth, with all manner of verbal disease and the average policeman will but smile or perhaps add to the Bum total of .uncleanness. The man who has such poverty of language and such an absolute lack of common sense that profanity is to him the one way to dignify and emphasize the expres OIUU KJL iUCdO, &UUU1U UU JCtliCU WILLI that other man who endangers our physical health. The third commandment has, we know from experience, a very practical and forcible application to this day. Nowhere may we escape the man of unwholesome speech. Men with gray locks and boys just out of kilts, men who should know better and boys who must learn the disgrace of proSigate language If they are ever to amount to much in life, both and all are guilty of the most shameful depravities of speech. 'As things stand to-day, no man can too r a nrf+fi o miro minH TUa .walk our streets and curses everywhere fill the air and fall upon our ears. Does a horse balk the Almighty is invoked to move him. Is the drayman delayed a moment he curses the fellow just ahead. It is impossible to sit by an open window on any prominent thoroughfare without being morally poisoned. Does the boss in the shop wish to hurry up the men the vilest of language is the means le uses to set speed to hand and mind. Not once but hundreds of times I have seen foul mouthed inRnprtnr.c nvorsippre pnri psni? hnccp<3 invoke the maledictions of heaven and hell upon poor dumb driven fcrutes made in the image of the Maker, lest forsooth they straighten "weary toll bent backs to sieze a moment's rest. Of course these very men will tell you that they have no desire to dishonor God nor to offend our moral sensibilities. They lay it to habit, thoughtlessness and a hundred other causes. I am convinced myself that much of the swearing of the day is due to thoughtlessness rather than to wilful sin. And yet I have seen the same men take more liberties .with the name of Almighty God than I would allow them to take or they .would dare to take with my name? either thoughtlessly or wilfully. Thoughtlessness is no excuse. God gave us brains and tongues, and it is our duty to exercise our wills and to use our tongues for the expression of worthy thought alone. Of course men don't think, that is to say, the most of them do not, for if they did swearing would go by the board ,to a short and sure death. To plead thoughtlessness in extenuation of sin is to play the baby-act. Men should rink and cut the cursing out. The third commandment has solid sense behind it, as have all of God's commands. The misuse of the name of God, or of the name of our Lord, (profanity, swearing, cursing, all should be abhorred for several good and sufficient reasons. Profanity is unnecessary, unmanly, indecent, immoral, ungodly. There are^ five good reasons why it should be put aside. Profanity is unnecessary. A curse never prove a point. It rather demonstrated the paucity of thought of the swearer. Oaths never convince & person of the validity or strength of an argument, but they do show up the poverty of language of the man ,who uses them. Curses never made any workman do better work; they iiave, however, been the excuse for many a murder. Sense and no swear iWords will unravel many a perplexing problem. The name of God is to ibe hallowed not hooted on the ?trf?pta Thp ramp nf .Tpsjiq la wnr (thy of reverence and adoration; its misuse damns not the man who is maligned but the curser. There is no problem in life that can not be solved without curses. Sense, Industry, wise reasoning and good judgment will settle any difficulty. Profanity is useless, unnecessary and . wholly unprofitable. Then, too, profanity is unmanly. Many boys seem to have the idea that the one sure sign of manliness Is to be able to swear with vigor, proficiency and volume. There never . was a greater mistake in the world. jmsieaa 01 Demg a sign oi mannuess it Is a sure mark of moral instability and bad manners. It reflects small credit either upon the youth himself or upon the family whom he represents. For an educated youth it is a denial of the value of education and mental growth. In any man, educated or ignorant, it is degrading and altogether unmanly. Manliness is purity, efficiency, power, forcefulness. The curse is impure, inefficient either for expression or proof, T\no/or1oco tn H r? nrnrl nr?t \ VP U'ftPlf. forceful In no way. By these tests It is unmanly. Profanity Is indecent. That which Is decent is befitting, becoming, honorable. I will leave it t? the judgment of the citizens of this or any city to decide how much swearing heflts a normal, rational human being. Creatures of reason as we are, we find that the curse flies in the face of sober thought. Used as we are to logical processes we find the curse devoid of logic. Profanity reeks with sulphur and sends Satan Ico our iieai uj. it uittjnj uuucfitting and unbecoming. v To say that it is dishonorable is just to begin the damning count against profanity. The curse is without honor for it is used only to spread dishonor. It looks never toward God but rather uses His name to invoke the aid of the powers of hell. It is IUioUiruwi auic xiuui cian. w im u Indecency marks it as her own. ' "" But one of the two worst things ] about profanity is that it is immoral. root, branch, tree and fruit. Catering as it does to all that is low in S man. hand and bond servant as it is to all the hosts of sin, profanity disintegrates the unity of individual personality. No man can be profane without dishonoring God and dam- ^ aging himself. We cannot give vent in word to the evil that is in us without spreading contamination not only through our own lives but also through the lives of men and women an aoout us. ?roianity is unciean, t it strikes at the foundations of mor- fc ality. It undermines the sense of v honor and destroys the faculty of v cool, deliberate judgment; under no t circumstances is it susceptible of justification and its immorality is un- f questionably a fact. ' z But the last and the worst charge x that may be upheld against profanity t is that it is ungodly. "Thou shall p love the Lord Thy God with all thy heart and mind and soul," says our a Father. The curse is heartless and r * * 3 J- ? TTTQ 4, ll destroys our unci laiuiuco uv ??v j give it time. Under its blighting In- a fluence the power of mental appre- c ciation of the glories of God will be c lost. It is soulless to the last ex- ^ treme. How can a man be godly i while cursing the children of God in the name of the Father who has s given them life? How can a man E be godly when the springs of sin are a rushing from his mouth? Ah, fco! a Profanity is ungodly. It shames God and disgraces man. It reviles the F Father and degrades His sons. God , is good but profanity is evil. God is ^ kind but the curse is verbal murder. B God is truth but the curse cares nSt fnr truth. | Unnecessary, unmanly, indecent, ? Immoral and ungodly profanity is j the most frequent as the most insidi- t ous of the sins of the tongue. And v yet had as it is when used by men, ^ it is most abhorrent when coming c from the lips of a woman. Not that ^ it is morally any worse, but that it j, sounds worse. If you really want to become positively assured of the j horridness of profamity you need but hear a wocnan curse. j * We need to-day a strict insistence j upon cleanliness of language. No man can be a friend of Jesus who is ungodly in his talk. Christ proved , divinely the possibility of forceful speaking without the use of profan- ? ity. And to-day men are most force- r ful, most manly, most convincing ^ when they do not swear. Toll Yonr Boat Up Stream. * ~ -"t. rtl. XO anil.

He asks the pertinent f question: d "How many men and women are c there sitting in these pews who, if t I asked them the question, 'Did you 31 ever tell anybody about Jesus c Christ?' would say, 'No, never!'

Alcoholic Athlctics?Why Abstaining Americans Defeated the BeerDrinking Germans at the Last Olympian Games. ]n the last celebration of the )lympian games at Athene signal lonors to German contestants were ery conspicuous by their absence, vhile our American athletes came tome covered with glory. German writers seeking to account or the failure of their fellow citiens, so far as we have seen, are manimous and emphatic in placing he blame for their low standing In ihysicial achievement on beer. The tautness of muscle and the bsence of superfluous flesh which narked the Americans, showed up n strong contrast to the soft bodies .nd weaker hearts of their Teuton ouB?{ns. And the explanation acepted in Germany is that the iankees are abstainers, while the )eutsch drink beer. Certainty Increases in the world of cience and the world of common obervation of the discount-power of .lcohol in material, physical, mental .nd moral values. One who drinks does not always, terhaps not generally, become what ?e call a failure, but he does surely lull the fine edge of his utmost posibllities. If we imagine two young men of irecisely equal age, development, aentality, ambition and opportunity, n competition, it is absolutely cerain that the one who drinks, albeit ery temperately, is quite outclassed iy the abstainer in fitness for the limaxes of endeavor, where the winlings turn on small margins and the tighest prizes hang. The brewers, nowadays, are rorcng down the alcohol-power of their iroduct to the lowest possible per ent. possible, so as to sell more [rinks to meet a given craze for stimilant, and so as to lighten the public idium earned by strong beer as an ntoxicant. So, that the young drinkir has a shade better chance to esape excess than formerly, and if he ie content to compete only for regards that are low and easy, beer is lerhaps a lesser enemy than it used 0 be. But if he sets his purpose to neasu-re with the high men where Ictory may throb in the last heart leat, or leap in the last atom of nerve mergy, he must go beerless into the ists. In the herd the doctrine is: If Irinking beer forbids the highest itrength, cut out the highest trengtb. If drinking beer forbi.de lerfect health, be satisfied with some 1 A** HV?

The .results of temperance agitation n the United States have been well ummed up by National Superintendnt Baker of the Anti-Saloon League n the following words: 'Thirty-three Qillions of the people of the United Itates live in territory where the saoon is legally prohibited, and during he past twelve months two and a talf millions of our people have abolshed saloons' from the territory in trhich they live. Kentucky, in the last six months, has driven the saoons from twenty-six counties by a aajcfrity vote in these counties, of r\ -r*A nf nrAnfv-fnTA 111 Anoonrl froo. ;p?oiu ui tncutj-tnw ?i vv ng a population of one hundred and ifty thousand from the immediate iresence of the saloon. Tennessee tas extended the Adams law to the ntire State, which means that within . short time the saloons will exist in inly three or four cities. Alabama las just passed a county local option ( aw, which, it is predicted, will abolsh the saloons from all but three if the counties within the next two ears." Since these words were uttered Colorado's new local option law has ieen signed by Governor Buchtel, and he outlook is more optimistic than ver. Carnegie on Drink. Mr. Carnegie, in his book, "The Smpire of Business," says: "The irst most seductive peril, and the lestroyer of most young men, is the Irinking of liquor. I say to you hat you are more likely to fail in our career from acquiring the habit ?f drinking liquor than from any or ill the other temptations likely to :ssail you. You may yield to almost my other temptation and reform? nay brace up, and, if not recover lost ground, at least remain in the race, md secure and maintain a respective position. But from the insane hirst for liquor escape is almost imlossible. I have known but few ex:eptions to the rule." Liquor and Poetry. Herr Dehmel, one of the greatest iving German poets 01 tne -"modern , chool," says: "I have attempted seviral times to write poetry under the nfluence of liquor, but the next norning it appears to me to be mere vord pJay, monstrous fancies or conused unconscious reminiscences.'' It s needless to say that Herr Dehmel s now a total abstainer. Florida to Be Prohibition.

Present stylea render a generous supply of guimpes absolutely essential to every girl's wardrobe. Here Is a model that can be utilized for lace, for embroidery, for net or for lingerie material and Vhich allows of a number of variations. In the illustration embroidered net is made with short sleeves that are held by bands of ribbons above and below the elbows. But long sleeves can be substituted if better liked, and the guimpe can be either faced as illustrated or made of one material throughout. All sorts of pretty laces and embroidered nets are in vogue, while lingerie materials In themselves afford almost endless variety. The guimpe is made with the front and plain backs. It can be faced with lace or other material to the cross or between vertical lines of perforations or can be made of the material throughout as liked. The elbow sleeves are gathered to form pretty puffs and terminate in becoming frills, while the long ones are joined to the deep cuffs. If lingerie material is used it can De tucKea or trimmed In any way that may be liked before cutting, but lace, net and /he like are usually preferred plain. The quantity of material required for the sixteen-year size Is one and a quarter yards of material thirty-six inches wide with two and threeeighth yards eighteen inches wide for the sleeve and facing to cross line, two and a half yards with facings between vertical lines of perforations; or, three and three-quarter yards eighteen, two and three-quar ter yards twenty-seven or one and five-eighth yards forty-four inches wide if one material is used. Odd Trimmings. r The Parisian craze for combinations of thick and thin materials, that is responsible for the trimming of silk and cloth constumes witti folds and braided bands of net or mousseline de sole, has lately been seen here in a novel form, lingerie coats and dresses of batiste being trimmed with pale blue or pink cloth hi embroidered pattes, or cut bands, with results that were decidedly chic, though the description sounds bizarre. rrrvlinrr Tin f f A*?na * nviviuo.

The vogue of brown.and, the desire , for footwear not black, yet a shade I more dressy than the prevailing tan color, account for the popularity of the new brown leathers. These are made up in all the pump and Oxford styles, but without any of the mixture of odd leathers in the same shoe which is so marked a feature in other colore. Narrow Neek Ribbon. The narrow neck ribbon that encircles the neck at the top of the collar, and tying at the back, is oftener of black velvet than anything else, j though any color harmonizing with the accessories may be used if pre- I ferred. There is quite a fancy, too, for a black velvet ribbon worn about I the neck and fastened with a handsome brooch with low-necked gowns. San-Bonnets in Two Styles. Sun-bonnet: are always quaint and picturesque in effect and just now are being greatly worn for golf, for gardening and for every outdoor occupation. Indeed women of all ages, from the little tots to their grand mothers, are guarding their complexIons a bit carefully just now and these attractive and quaint head coverings make the best possible aid to such results. Lawn, batiste, linen, duck, dotted Swiss muslin and all similar materials are used. Both white and colored materials are in vogue, and some very charming effects are obtained by the use of Dresden dimities and similar simple figured stuffs. Two styles are shown in the illustration, One with and one without the cape at the back, of the neck. In addition to serving for all the uses mentioned the bonnets will be found admirable for motoring, when they protect tfie head from wind as well as the face from the sun. Each bonnet is made with a wide brim and a soft full crown, which is attached thereto, the one crown being extended across the back, the other being made in one with the cape. The quantity of material required ' for the medium or misses* size is seven-eighth yard twenty-seven or five-eighth yard thirty-six Inches wide for either style, with one and three-eighth yards of edging for the bonnet without the cape, two and three-quarter yards with the cape. Western Farm Values Increased. The value of the farm lands along the Union Pacific Increased by more than $2,600,000,000 In the five years 1900 to 1905.

Other records are: Washington, sixty-eight per cent.;. New Mexico, sixty-five per cent.; Texas, sixty-one per cent.; Idaho, fifty-eight per cent.; and Nebraska, fifty-seven per cent. A recent bulletin of the Union Pacific Railroad shows that the hay and grain farms increased In value by $785,500,000; live stock farms by $1,000,000; fruit farms by $51,000,000; vegetable farms by $32,000, uuu, ana general iarm lanas Dy $165,000,000. Colorado's sugar beet farms increased in value twelve per cent., and in Oregon the principal increase, fiftyeight per cent., is also in sugar beet lands. In Washington two-fiftha of the income }rom the lands showing the greatest increase (seventy-five per cent.) is from fruit. Vegetable growing is the best payer in Montana; of the lands increased fiftyeight per cent. In value two-fifths of the income is from that class. A Business Enterprise. "The newspaper," says Bishop Fowler, "is a business enterprise and papers are made to sell. A business is conducted chiefly and primarily for the purpose of making money, and a man has as good a right to make a newspaper to make money as he has to sell dry goods and shoes for monev. If he makes money by the process he is under some obligation to use the money and power for good purposes." Stensland's Income. A Chicago dispatch says: "Paul O. Stensland, the convicted bank wreck[. er now in the penitentiary at Joliet, will make more money during the next * year of his incarceration than the salary of the Mayor of Chicago. He is trustee in 4000 deeds of trust . upon real estate and his signature is necessary in order to release mortgages.
