WARNING AGAINST PROFANE

For May 4th, 1952.

Matthew $5: 83-37; 23: 16-23 '
th Third Cnmmdiuhnfilit f oitbids an '
irreverent use of God's name. It has
been some , time since we have had a
lesson on this subject, although the(
need for it is and has beeir- great.
Webster defines the (word "reverence" I
as "profound respect mingled with'
love and awe." It is also defined as
"honor and respect felt or shown."'

hovah expresses itself in an attitude
of "profound respect, mingled with
love and awe." , -" "
" Profanity has "become fashionable
in widA circlwij Tlin iie of urofanity
by the members of the armed forces
of our country is nothing less itnan
appalling. Such a habit begun under
such circumstances will naturally fol

crusader against proianity, aeciares,
, "Today words and phrases are encoun
tered everywhere on the screen, in
the theatres, in the comic papers, in
the newspapers, on the floor of Con
gress, and even at the domestic hearth
that were reserved for use in the
saloons and bagnios a generation
ago." . ,.
What does profanity indicate re
garding a person. Porter iRouth de
clares: "It indicates first, that he
lacks the proper vocabulary to ex
press himself. The impression that
profanity strengthens language ought
to be corrected. Many who have made
a ritudy of the (English language have
suggested that the continued use of
'hell' and 'dam' and other expletives
' lands to weaken both Hie written and
the spoken word . . . Profanity also
indicates a spirit of selfishness and
a laclc of nnndideration for others. A
person might become hardened by the
use of profane language, but there
are those in nearly any group who
nMnr n th use rit nbncene and oro.
fana tAncmnm . . 'Alhove all. the use
of profanity indicates contempt for
God. Thou shalt not take the name
of Jehovah thy "God in vain for Je
hovah will not hold him guiltless that
'take-tit his name in vain.' "
We are not to use the name of God
"falsely;" we are not to dishonour God
by invoking his name to attest to what
is untrue. The penalty to be inflicted
on a false witness is stated in Duete
ronomy 19:15-21. -,. The fuller explana
tion of this commandment in Leviticus
19: 12 is indicated'-not only against
perjury, which is a violation of justice
ond .honor, but lso against every
flippant or irreverent use ..of God's
name. Profanity is a reckless use of
- God's name and is frequently sign
of emotional immaturity and a limited
vocabulary.

mations of an honest man are sufr

Jesus had a high regard for human
life and declared that there is no ex
' change price for the soul.. He taught,
that every- human soul is precious in
the sight of God. M persons we of

and of our influence upon others, It

V Th Church is th greatest Jae
tor on earth for the building of
character and good citizenship. It
is a storehouse of spiritual values.
WUhout a strong Church, neither
democracy nor civilization can
survive. There are four sound
reasons why every person should
attend services regularly and suj
port the Church. They are: (1)
