Profanity.--Profanity is a useless,
vulgar, wicked habit. It does no good,
and much evil, and the wisdom and goodness
of God can be seen in its entire
prohibition. And yet with God against
it, with the Bible against, with reason
and respectability against it, it prevails
extensively. It is not uncommon to see
some brutal fellow with his team loaded
too heavily, and he cursing and beating
his horse with all vengeance.
The Bible condemns profanity as
wicked and foolish; brands it with Divine
displeasure, and positively forbids its use
and he who lives according to this book,
will never become addicted to it. There
is something monstrous about it.--Dr.
Cheever.
