I have 'never felt that any man has any right to come into my house or assembly, and swear either between the covers" of a book, or in speech, or song, or reci- tation, or in-any other way. If any language that is profane or even Lorders on it should appear in rec. itation, or drama, or dialogue, why could not those who have this matter in hand cut it out, and thus not offend the taste of many good people who are always displeased, to hear in any} place what approaches the profane certanly nothing will be lost by so doing.
