Subject: Profanity.
Brooklyn, N. Y.?Preaching at the
Irving Square Presbyteiian Church,
Hamburg avenue and WeirSeld
street, on the theme "Profanity,"

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

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.

.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

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,

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

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

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

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.

Sometimes it has been a source of s
wonder to find a preacher very veady e
in the use of language, and yet mak- j,
ing no headway in his chosen profes- E
sion. In more than one case the ex- g
planation has been found in a dislike ?
of study and reading on his part. To j

Silent Christians. t

issued recently, Dr. Alex. Maclaren
has a sermon on 'Silent Christians,"
which we could wish might be
preached in every church throughout I
the kingdom. 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!' I a
know this, that in regard to all the a
recognized and associated forms of a
Christian work which cluster round a 1
Christian congregation, it is the same g
handful of people that do them all. a
It is just like the bits of glass in a a

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

Effects of Agitation.
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

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

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

Liquor and Poetry.
Herr Dehmel, one of the greatest

chool," says: "I have attempted seviral
times to write poetry under the
nfluence of liquor, but the next

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.

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.

as $8,241,782,864, while In 1900 It
was only $5,692,230,872. This Is
an advance of nearly forty-five per
cent.
By States the percentage of Increase
vary from 119 per cent, for
Wyoming to twenty-four per cent,
for California. 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,

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."

He is trustee in 4000 deeds of trust

All persons-who are Interested

"1 Consulted Several Physicians, but they
Did Me No Good, l e-ru-na and
Alan-a-lin Helped Me"
Mrs. Aline JJel'asse, 770 E.. lC5th St.,
New York, N. Y., writes: . : v *?
"It gives me pleasure to testify to the
curative qualities of Peruna and Manalin.
" 1 was afflicted for over seven years with
catarrh of the head, throat and digestive
organs. I consulted many physicians,
but they did me no good.
i "One day 1 happened to read some testimonials
in your Peruna almanac. 1 decided
to try Peruna and Manalin. I
bought a bottle of each, and after taking'
them for a week I noticed a change for the
better. So 1 kept it up, and after using
twelve bottles I was perfectly cured.
"I also gave the medicine to my children
and tnev had the same beneficial result.
I would never be without these remedies
in the house.
"I highlv recommend Peruna and Man- . , ,i
alin to all my friends, and in fact to
everybody." 7*3
Miss Mildred Grey, 110 Weimar 8t., Appleton,
Wis., writes: i
"It gives me pleasure to recommend
Peruna for catarrh of the stomach. I had
tbis disestse for a number of years, and
could not enjoy a mouthful of food tnat I
ate. It was indeed a great relief when I
hit upon Peruna, and obtained decided reeiilfo

Egyptians Hoard Gold.
Lord Cromer states that Egyptians
have a propensity for hoarding gold.
A native, who recently died, left
$400,000 stored in gold in his house,
and many of them possessed of
wealth will borrow money at interest
to conceal the fact. Large quantities
of gold coin are annually melted
in Egypt and converted into ornaments.
