IVTEUPEBANCK PROFANITY SABBATH
BREAKIEG.
Sermon by Rt. B. W. Whllden, Pleasant Hill, Ala.
“ Rejoice, 0 young man, in thy youth, and let
thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth,
and walk in the ways of thine heart, and'in the
sight of thine eyes; but kuow thou, that for all
these things God will bring thee into judgment. ”
Ecc. xi: 9.
Solomon, who by inspiration wrote
these words, had seen much of the
world. He had had an abundant share
of this world’s goods, and at the same
time an abuudant share of this world’s
wisdom. Some persons have wealth,
but not wisdom; some persons have
wisdom but not wealth. Solomon had
both, and consequently was well able
to estimate the value of the worth of
the things of this life. At the close
of his d.,ys, what is his verdict ? Does
he bid the young seek for happiness
by the pursuit either of the honors of
this wcrld, or by the pursuit of its
pleasures ? No. After he has reviewed
the various scenes through which he
has passed, he says, “All is vanity and
vexation of spirit.”
We consider three evils of which
young men are sometimes guilty :
Ist. Drunkenness. “ Who hath woe,
who hath sorrow, who hath conten
tions, who hath babblings, who hath
wounds without cause, who hath red
ness of eyes ? They that tarry long at
the wine, they that seek mixed wine.”
“ Wine is a mocker, strong drink is
raging: and whosoever is deceived
thereby is not wise.” “ Look not thou
upon the wine when it is red, when it
giveth its color in the cup, when it
moveth itself aright. At the last it
biteth like a serpent and stingeth like
an adder.”
The evils of intemperance are seen
and admitted by us all. They are
written as with an iron pen upon the
blasted hopes of many a father, upon
the blighted anticipations of many a
mother. They may be seen in the
tears of many a broken hearted wife,
and in the sufferings of many a
wretched child.
Would you see misery in one of its
worst earthly forms, in one ot its dark
est earthly colors, go to the inebriate’s
home. Behold a miserable wife, the
mother of miserable children! Ask the
mother why she is sad, she will point
you to the bar room, the bottle and the
glass; ask the children why they weep,
they will tell you that there was a time
when their father made them happy,
but now those days are gone.
“ Forgotten quite all former scenes of dear delight,
Connubial love, parental joy ;
No sympathies like these his soul employ,
But all is dark within. 11
In this age of fictitious writings, let
some distinguished writer commence a
work. Let his subject be “ the evils of
intemperance.” He may intend it as
fiction; may embellish it with all the
decorations which a lively fancy affords;
may paint the most wretched and dis
tressing scenes—scenes which be may
suppose never bad an existence—but
after he has completed his work he will
find it sober, serious truth. In the
misery of many a domestic circle will
he find these fictitious scenes fully ver
ified.
But let it not be supposed that we
are of the opinion that drunkards alone
are in danger. Could we hear the joy
ful news this day that every inebriate
in our land had pleged himself to ab
stain from every thing that can intoxi
cate, great would be our joy, but how
long would that joy continue ? Ere
twelve months had rolled around we
would, in all probability, have an army
of drunkards again. And whence would
these drunkardsj come ? Would it be
that those who had’pledged themselves
had broken their pledges, and become
drunkards again ? No ; we need not
suppose anything of this kind. Would
it be that by means of immigration our
country would again be filled with
inebriates ? No ; we might see drunk
ards again, and this not take place.
Whence, then, we ask,would they arise ?
They would come from the ranks of
the moderate drinkers. From the acorn
comes the oak, from the fountain
comes the stream, from the cloud de
scends the shower, from the moderate
drinker the drunkard. Were there no
acorns there could be no oaks; were
there no fountains there could be no
streams; were there no clouds there
could be no showers ; were there no
moderate drinkers there could be no
drunkards.
You may say you never will become
a drunkard. We cannot say. But,
you have entered a warfare in which
few come off victorious. Others have
thought there was'no danger, and thev
have been deceived, and why may not
you be deceived ? Others, with as
strong constitutions, with as clear
heads, and with as noble hearts as
yours, have been overtaken, and why
may not you i Upon the eminence
where you now stand, so once they
stood; from that eminence they have
fallen, and why may not yon ? And
did some friendly voice bid thorn be
ware, how ill-timed, how disrespectful
would the warning have been con
sidered ? You cry “no danger,” and
this is just the cry raised by moderate
drinkers before you.
We do not assert of any one moder
ate drinker that he certainly will be
come a drunkard. We know not; Ood
knows. But we have seen enough to
convince us, with reference to intoxi
cating drinks, that “ touch not, tatte not,
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST.
handle nof," should be the motto of all.
The lessons which experience gives
are not easily forgotten; but experi
ence sometimes keeps a dear school.
Experience may prove to be true th
words we now utter, though our warn
ings may pass unheeded. It may be
that now you hav,e the ■power but not
the desire to refrain. The time may
come when you will have the wish (yes,
it may be the most earnest wish your
heart has ever known,) the wish to
refrain, but then you have lost the
power.
“ Oh ! think ere the moment of thinking is past,
And the chains of the mighty upon thee are cast;
Return, ere the iron shall enter thy soul,
And thy whole life besides be a curie on the bowl
2d. Profanity. “ Thou sbalt not take
the name of the Lord thy God in vain,
for the Lord will not hold him guiltless
that taketh His name in vain.”
No one will be offended with you for
not being profane; but by the use ©f
profane expressions you wound the
feelings of a large portion of those
with whom you are associated. Con
sequently, out of regard to their feel
ings, it is your duty to abstain from
the practice, even though God’s Word
says nothing on the subject.
But we do not urge you to refrain by
any consideration short of the teach
ings of the Word of God. Have you
ever thought what you are doing when
the awful word “damn” rolls from
your unhallowed tongue F If God
should answer your petitions in its true
import, your swearing prayer would be
answered in hell.
There are some; however, who may
tell us that they do not call upon God
to destroy them, though they occa
sionally do use Ood’s name unnecessa
rily. Alas, there are some to be found
who use this name for no other purpose
than for the filling up of a sentence, or
for assisting them in a yawn.
“ It chills my blood to hear the blest Supreme
Rudely invoked on every trilling theme:
Maintain your rank, vulgarity despise,
To swear is neither brave, polite, nor wise;
You would not swear upon a bed of death;
Reflect, your Maker may now take your breath.
When the Saviour taught us to pray,
“ hallowed be Thy name,” he meant
what these words imply. “ You may
sport with the whirlwind and trifle
with the storm, you may lay your
hand upon the lion’s mane and play
with the leopard’s spots, you may go
to the very crater of a burning volcano
and laugh at the lava which it belches
out in thunder r you may trifle with any
and everything, but trifle not with
God. Let there be one holy thing,
upon which you dare not lay a profane
hand, and let that be the name of
God.”
3d. Sabbath breaking. “ Remember
the Sabbath day to keep it holy.” An
artist, who understood human nature
well, put forth a series of pictures, to
show the progress of a young man in
crime. On the first picture he repre
sents him as playing marbles on a
tombstone, on the Sabbath, during Di
vine service. This he regards as the
young man’s first step in sin.
Sabbath breaking io a mother-vice—
a fountain of other sins. A man who
indulges in intoxicating liquors may
commit, iu his moments of intoxication,
many more sinful acts thau he thought
himself capable of committing. So the
man that neglects the Sabbath —cast-
ing off the fear of God in such a signal
manner—may break not only this one
of the ten commandments, but otheis
likewise.
Daniel Webster says : “ I once de
fended a man charged with the dread
ful crime of murder. At the conclusion
of the trial, I asked him what could
have induced him to staiu his hands
with the blood of a fellow-being.
Fixing his bloodshot eyes upon me, he
replied, in a voice of despair, ‘Mr.
Webster, I spent the holy Sabbath in
evil amusements, instead of frequenting
the house of prayer and praise.’ ”
Instances are not rare of young meD,
before suffering death on the gallows,
confessing that Sabbath breaking was
the means of their coming to such an
end. Many in penitentiaries have ac
knowledged the same. A keeper of
one of the largest prisons says : “Nme
tenths of our inmates are those who
did not value the Sabbath, and were
not in the habit of attending public
worship.”
Young men frequently begin life
by forgetting their obligations to that
Great Being who has said, “ remember
the Sabbath day to keep it holy," and
afterwards they forget their obligations
to their fellow-men. The House of
Commons (England) once (1852) ap
pointed a committee to investigate the
subject of Sabbath desecration. This
committee reported in substance, that
they could prove that those who were
the most negligent in the observance
of the Sabbath were the least to be
depended on during the week in trade.
So dangerous in the view of a distin
guished merchant was the tetdenoj of
disregard to the Sabbath, that if he
saw one of bis clerks engaged in what
he considered a violation of the Sab
bath, he dismissed him on the follow
ing day. He thought, perhaps, that if
the clerk would rob ood of his time,
by and by he would r< ’ him ol his
money. It is not that the joung man
who violates the Sabbath is born with
any worse principle than others, but
when he breaks the Sabbath, he throws
away much of what may be considered
a guard against temptation.
In the vices mentioned, and in others
that may be mentioned, you may re
joice, but the “pleasures of sin are but
for a season,” and “ for all these things
God will bring thee into judgment.”
