Profane Language.

It is related by Dr. Scudder that on his return home from his mission in India, after a long absence, he was standing on the deck of a steamer with his son, a youth, when he heard a gentleman using loud and profane language. “See friend,” said the doctor, accosting the swearer, “this boy, my son, was born and brought up in a heathen country, and a land of pagan idolatry; but in all his life he never heard a man blaspheme his Maker until now.” The man colored, blurted out an apology, and looked not a little ashamed of himself.
