I. Profanity is an Atheistical
contempt of God. Infidelity is
its very essence.
II. The sin of profanity is a most
God defying sin. It is a Heav
en daring sin.
III. Profanity is the permeating
end soul destroying sin. it de
stroys moral fibre. It deadens
the spiritual nature.
IV. Profanity is a sin that may
be forgiven.

out was a Scriptural attacn on
the use ot profanity. The text

... .. Mr. Kerr said in part:
"The Pharisees were the
strictest of literalis'e. ' '
claimed to have great reverence
for Gad. tor bis name, for nm
houso, for hi day aud r me

They even accused Jesus of pro-

"By percept and by, praj er the'
way of man Is hedged in ai.d yt t
one ot tha moot prejilert in'
and one of the vilest of ninA U'
that of profanity, the abusing of
things whereby God maketh'
himsalf known.
1. "Profanity is an atheistic
al contempt of God. Infidelity
in it very essence. The Phari
sees did not believe that Jesus is
God and they called bira 'This
fellow." The false witnesses .
did not believe that he is God'
and they called him '"k bis fel
low." And so has it evr been
with those who profane God'
name. Paraoh siatf Who is tue
Lord that I should obey hi
voice to let Israel go?" I kuow
not the Lord, neither will I let
Israel go." By their conduct
men may say that God does not
have all power and dominion,
that be is not the omnipotent
ruler, fit.t he is not the God' of
all grace, that is not the savior
ot men; for tbey use his n.mo'
most vilMy, treating It with
greater eontempt than they
would treat any o.her name.
Men resent reflections that are
made against them their own
fathers or mothers and they re
genet most strongly anything
that calls into qaeation their
own name or reputation .but'
God 'a name can be used as if h'
