   2. It is a fine mark of manliness.
   3. It proves I have self control.
   4. It indicates how clearly my mind operates.
   5. It makes my converstion so pleasing to everybody.
   6. It leaves no doubt in anyone's mind as to my good breeding.
   7. It impresses people that I have more than ordinary education.
   8. It is and unmistakable sign or culture and refinement.
   9. It makes me a very desirable personality among women and
      children and in respectable society.

      the name of the Lord thy God in vain."
 
                 Swearing is just a habit with me!
 
   Sure.  Like beating your wife, robbing banks or poisoning
babies.  Your favorite excuse is -
 
                     I don't mean anything by it!
 
   Tell that to the judge the next time you're arrested for
speeding!  Explain to him, "It's just a habit with me." Try coming
in to work drunk for a month.  Remind your boss that, "I don't mean
anything by it.  It's just a habit with me."
 
                         You can't fool God!
 
   If you can't kid the judge; if you can't fool your boss; how do
you think you can fool God?  - It is written, "Swear not at all".
(Matt. 5:34).  God  says, "Be not deceived, God is not mocked."
(Gal. 6:7) "The Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His
name in vain". (Ex.20:7)
 
                           How to Quit
 
   Pray, right now.  Ask God to forgive you for your wickedness.
Open your heart to the Son of God.  Accept Jesus Christ as your
Saviour and Lord.  Ask Him to cleanse you, to save your soul, and
make you a real Christian.  Read your Bible daily and urge others
to give their hearts to Christ.  Write and tell us of your
decision.  We will send you a Gospel of John, free.
