What of a worldly nature Is more im portant and strengthening and innocent than ainuseroent, md yet what has counted more victims? I have no sympathy with a straight Jacket religion. This ia a very bright world to me, and I proposa to do oil I can to make it bright for others. I never could ke-p step to a dead march. A book years ago issued says that a Chris tian man has a right to some, amusements. or instance, if he come3 home at night weary from his work, and feel in- la need of recreation, puts on his siipp3rs, and goes Into his garret and walks lively round the floor several times there can be no harm in it. I believe the church of God has made a tre mendous mistake in trying to suppress the sportfulnesa of vouth and drivn mi fmm men their love of amusement. If God ever implantadaiiythinjinus hrimplmted thia I desire. " 1 a ltU3 street, and haR it fired olT ao that everything is cut cown that happen to stand ia the batterv at thA lange, me good as well as the bad, so there are men in the church wh? plant their bat teries of condemnation and fire away indis enminateiy Everything is condemned. l'Ut my Bible eommends those who u3 tho world without abusing it, and in the natural world God ha3done everything to please and amuse us. In poetic figures we sometimes speak of natural objects as being in pain, but it is a mere fancy. Poets say the clouds weep, but they never yet shed a tear; and the wmds tight, but the7 never did havo any trouble; and that tho storm howls, but it never lost its temper. The world U a rose, and the universe a garland. I am glad to know thatia allourc ties there are plenty of places where we may find e.evated, moral entertainment. But all honest men and good women will agree with mo in tho statement that one of the worst plagues of these cities is corrupt amusement. Multitudes havo gone down under the blast ing influence never to rise. If we may jud-o of what is going on in m.iny of the p.aces of amusement by the Sodomic pictures on board fences and in many of tho show window?, there is not a much lower depth of profligacy to reach. At Naples, Italy, thev keep Kuch, pictures locked up from indis criminate inspection. These pictures were exhumed from Pompeii anJ are not fit for public gaze.

There are people who seem made up or hard facts. Thev arcaenmhinntm,, uiuiiip.icauon ino.es and statistics. If you snow ineni an eiquiito picture they will be- ' f,.u iuuwuvi mo pigments mvoived in the coloring. If vou show tlip they wnl submit it to a botanical analysis,- which is only the post-mortem exaniinatioa wiauower. i ney have no rebound in their nature. They never do anything mcni thau smile. There are no great tides of feelin surging up from tho depths of their soul m billow alter biliow of reverberating lauh- j . i uey seem as u nature had built the up the side of a great tower.on the top Of WillCU tho sunlight sit. nn.l tui ; of summer hold perpetual carnival. Th?y are tho people you like to have como to vour house; they are the people I like to navo come my house. If you but touch tho hem of their garments vou are healed. - Isow it is these exhilarant and sympathe tic and warm hearted people that are most tempted to pernicious nmu- vnents. In pro- Eortion as a ship is swift it wants a stron elmsman; m proportion as a horso is gji it wants a stout driver; and thes3 people of exuberant nature will do welt to look at the reaction of all their amusements. If an amusement sends you h-o at night nervous so that you cannot sleep, cad vou rise up in the ruorning. not because you aro slept out. but because your duty drags you from ycu7 sluniben;, you have been where you ouht not to have t een. There are amusemcma that send a man next day to his work blood shot, yawning, stupid, nauseated; and they are wrong kinds of amusement. They are entertainments that give a man disgust with the druugery of life, with tools because thev a;re not swords, with working aprons because they are not robes, with cattle because thy are not infuriated bulls of the arena. If any amusement sends you home longin"- breadth cape?, the um ..a uu u us io our moral or as to our physical strength you mav coma to the conclusion that they are obnoxious. ' There is nothing more depraving than at tendance upon amusements that are full cvf innuendo and low suggestion. The youn man enters. At fir?t he sits far back, with his hat on and his coat collar up, fearful that somebody there may know him. Several nights pass on. . He takes off his bat esxiier and puts his coat collar down. The blush that first came into his cheek whon any thin T indeceut was enacted comes no more to his cheek. Farewell, young re an!

Young men who have jast come from country residence to city residence will do well to be on guard and let no one induce you to places of improper amusement. It is mightily alluring when a young man, long a citizen, offers to show a new comer all around. Still further. Those amnsementa are wrong which lead you into expenditure beyond your mean, iloney spent in recreation ia not tnrown away. It is all folly for ua to come feeling that we time.
