And you shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shall you profane the name of your God: I am the LORD.


After Dr. Scudder's return from India, he was on a steamboat with his son, when he heard a person using profane language. Accosting him, he said, "This boy was born and brought up in a heathen country and a land of idolatry; but in all his life he never heard a man blaspheme his Maker until now." The man apologised and moved away ashamed.
