Castus-•--'And I have no doubt but you will spend a profitable and in- teresting afternoon.

Philo --It is very evident that there is, or they would not be so common. Why, I, see by the newspapers the other clay that a team (I believe that's what they call it) came from Australia to engage in the sport. Castus—You do well to call it sport.

Castus--There are different kinds of amusements. Some are in favor of one kind and some of another. Some. even call working in the gar- den, or assisting a neighbor in some useful and pleasant eniployinent,gooci exercise. Philo ---Why, Castus, you must have Lost your reckoning ! Labor, you must admit, is part of the curse, "thou shalt earn the bread by the sweat of thy brow," is the penalty of disobedience. Castus--White I admit what you i• say, we must not forget that. ,the Creator required our first permits, before their fall, to till the garden, 'and it was a wise providence, as experience teaches us all that exercise is necessary for the health of the body. Philo—And those games are ad- mitted by many to be the very exercise we require. Pray, come and judge for yourself, with what zeal they enter into the contest. Castus—Would it not be more beneficial (and I see no reason why) to engage in useful employment with • .an equal amount of zeal. Philo -Pray what kind of employ- ment would you substitute ? Castus•-There are different kinds •'of employment, as there are varieties of ;aures. All useful labor is good and commendable. • Philo --I admit that some kinds of games are dangerous and lead to evil consequences. CCastus—Will you kindly give me the names of some that are evil in their tendencies ? Philo—Playing cards, billiards, dancing, .&e., and what are known as games of chance. Castus—Why collect those as par- ticularly vicious? I can easily under- stand why some sins are more heinous than others, but I fail to see the difference, in public amusements. The very. term, "games of chance," is a reflection upon I'rovidenee. It Philo—You must surely know that many of our church organiza- tions believe that they are particu- larly injurious to the cause of Chris- tianity. Castus--•-Wo have often heard so, but it is no valid reason wily it should be. Let us take an example. A certain man had a, family of three boys and three girls. James is partial to lacrosse, Thos., of football, John, of angling ; of the daughters, a manner.

Christian thing, a happy thing, a Philo—There are other kinds of pleasant thing, whether it is your dangers besides bodily ones, ranch own or not, whether it is at home or more hurtful to the mind. Castus—That is no reason why we should hang certain associations around some particular games and not around others. We find that David, when returning victorious from the battle -field, was met by the women obit of the different cities, singing and dancing. Still none of the prophets censures them. Neither do we find the Olyostle condemning the Alimphic games, although he shows the foolishness of them by contrasting them with the Christian race. And we cannot believe that ministers of our day are 'wiser than Ilse prophets or Paul. Allison says: "All .genies tend to degrade all the powersef the understanding. It is the eternal law of nature that truth and wisdom are the offspring of labor, of vigor and preseverance in every. worthy object of pursuit." Philo—Man was created a social being, and the cultivation of those qualities are not lightly to be thrown aside, especially in this age, when the war of "distinction" is fast leaving the great mass of' mankind. Those amusements are the great levellers, surprised to find this to be true.
