Don’t Swear
There are a. number of young
men and hoys, and some old men
to who seem to have nothing to do
hut set around a store porch and
tell tiltliy stories and “cuss.”
In fact they do not stop it
when ladieH are passing.
Surely there riiii lie no reason
for taking God’s name in vain, it
• toes not help anyone, it only
serves to lower your own name
reputation ami cluiractei.
There is absolutely no excuse
for profanity, so cut it out.
It is n it< smart to curse,
It is not manly,
It is breaking our law.
It is breaking God ’a law.
I inn’t lie a law breaker,
I 'mi ’L take God’s tia me in vai u
