Description

Excerpt from Religious Vulgarity: January 18, 1914 I have spoken (1) of social vulgarity, (2) of intel lectual vulgarity, lastly I want to speak of religious vulgarity. That is the. Worst of all. Here, too, I mean 1ow ideals of religion, the lowering of sacred things to common levels, the degradation of religion by irreverence. Reverence is the soul of religion, and religion cannot exist Without it. Faith is found ed on reverence, worship is the expression of rever ence, prayer and praise the utterance of reverence. W hen reverence ceases religion dies. The third com mandment, Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain, is a command against irrev erence, for irreverence is profanity. In some of the methods of the Salvation Army we have an illustration of this irreverence. Of the earnestness, sincerity, devotion of those who are atthe head of the organization, and the great body of its workers, I have only words of sympathy and ad miration. I cannot say the same of some of its methods. The beating of badly strung drums, the blowing of instruments generally out of tune, the shaking of tambourines by dancing Women, is out of keeping with the dignity, t'he solemnity, the gran deur of the religion of Christ; but these things are of small importance compared With the irreverence and vulgarity of their advertisements.
