How can this he 2 The answer is, not only is the nature of the amusement to be considered, but also the circumstances, the society, the object, the motive, the influence and other considerations. That which stands wholly on the prohibited side of the lino, or the part that stands on that side of the line no circumstance or consideration can make lawful. They are wrong. they are sinful. But what attitude shall or ought we to maintain towards amusements of the ‘ former class. It would he an infringement of christian liberty and violation of the law of love to deny the right of private judg- Jnent and Christian discretion in this matter. “We cannot authoritatively suv " you must "have nothing to do with these forms of recrea- tion." But we may counsel that it is wisest and best to keep at a 'distance from the. line. It is the part of the wise to keep as far from danger as possible. if you engage in these exercises or amusements them is dangerâ€"for the temptation is strong, that you will step over the line. "l‘here am} be many forms of recreation which you cannot enjoy and which you would erase out readily from the catalogue 'of legitimate amusements. Your education. your training. vour nae, your prejudice. the influence with which you are surround- ed, your position in Society and many other considerations may account for this. There is a certain groove which you follow. and any (lcviafion from that will be regarded by you. it may be, not only with distrust, but as subversive of christian morality. It is not principal that always rules but preju- dice bearing the name of principle. “'hile we readily see in the chart giVen hy the beneficient Creafor for our instruction and 'uuidauce a broad field of enjoyment and recreation we cannot close our eyes to the ‘ clear statements aml principhza of prohibi- tion ” Thus far thou mayest go but no fur~ ther." Thor-:isamark that most not he passedâ€"a line that must not be gone over. The line of Zinniarcation between that which is right and lawful and that which is wrong and prohibited is very clearly dmwu in the law which ought to regulate and con- trol christian life and conduct. And where there is even an approximate realisation of the true ideal of Christian life there will be little tendency to overstep the boundary line betWeen that which is lawful and that which is prohibited. The craving after many forms of questionable amusement arises not so much from i 'liurance of their ; questionable character as noun the absence ‘ of higher delights an d Spiritual enjoyments. Let me see the nerson Who livus in close fellowshi with od; who enjoys much of the life 0 heaven on earth ; Whose soul is filled with the comforts of the Holy Ghost and I am sure the much contested question of amusements will trouble him noth.ng as far as his own enjo muit is concerned. But. enjoyment in the avour of God does not imply, nor do we advocate exclusion from all forms of recreation which agreeably en- tertain the mind. There are many forms of amusements perfectly lawful and the most devout may engage in them in ceusnstencv with an elevated s iritual character. it is "Qt piety tOWardi 10d or righteousness and love towards men that will lead any man tn rn unqualified denunciation of all forms of recreation ; but too often a. spirit of asceti~ cism, of prejudice, of fanaticism and sickly ; sour aentiuientaliain. With such spirit an Mtlve, vigorous, healthy, practical christian- ity__l_ias no sympathy. The elements thst enter into the being 0! men are many and varied. .

Fonfilale Biils, llmse Bills HilllfiJOlh This question of amusement should be dealt wit in the spirit of Christ. Much injury m be done to the cause of the Re- decmer by being punctillinusly exacting. Prejudice and a. misconception of duty do a great deal of injury by imposing a yoke ‘ which render religion repulsive and not at tractive. If you cannot enjoy entertain- ments which may be to many sources of much enjoyment end pleasure do not con- demn or restrain them in their enjoyments so far as these are of a purely innocent nature. It may seem superfluous to give such a caution. Is this not what every one will do 2 It depends on the spectacles you mar. If you wear blue everything wlil appear to you blue and you will incessantly be giving the warning of danger. But if you wear the pure white crystal of practical Christian knowledge and experience you will see things in their true colour and call them by their right names. l have thus given a few examples of the forms of nmlm ment that are right and some that are wron-z. I did not attempt to ex. lmust he catalogue for the amusements in point f numher are legion. But let these examples suffice fur the whole. I have to say in connection with this enumeration l have made that if any Christian brother or sister should think that some of these amusements placed on the right side of the line should he on the prohibited side, that in deference to their convictions those who may he of a contrary mind should refrain from participation in them. The grand principle of self-denial so heantifully and terscly laid down by Paul should be exer- cised. Be not the cause of giving offence to any of the members of Christ’s hodv. ’l‘he Bull-room promiscuous dancing is unquestionably among the forms of ammo- ‘ment urohihitcd.
