A PROTEST AGAINST PRO- FANITY. them. It is not to be supposed that vee slant for the names of God and °inlet la less among Protestenta, but they atilt have something to learn in the direction of effective organisation. Atter all, however, the home is the beet place to teach lessons of right con- duct. It perente were always careful to teach reverence and good taste In speech, both by precept and example, the evil of profauity would `surely dim. inith Whether or not it is, as some candid foreign critics assert, a characteristic American failing, there oan be no doubt that swearing is offensively common, says Youth's Oompanion. One cannot avoid listening to profanity on the street, in the trains, wherever men are gather- ed together—even in the conversation of those who ought to know better, and who certainly do know better. The fault is serious from at least two points of view. It consists in taking in vain names which are sacred to every right-minded person, if not to the swear- er himself; and it is an anfailiug sign of vulgarity, of ill -breeding, of a want of reverence and a lack of consideration for the most deeply -felt covictions of others. Fortunately everyone Is not callous to the gravity of the offense. When thousands of men and boys, all pledged to refrain from the nae cf profanity, march through the streets in pnblio testimony, es they did in Pittsburg re- cently, there is ground to hope that the situation is not beyond improvement. The Holy Name societies of t h e Roman Catholic church are most useful agencies in encouraging greater rever- ence for the mast sacred words in our common speech.
