J, H. iStainton dealt with the ques tion of amusements which he handled in a very able manner. A large con gregation was present. Mr, Harry Hoffman, of Dashwood, sang a solo, “Repent Ye,” by John Pindle IScott, in excellent voice. Mr. Hoffman’s singing is always appreciated by the James 'Street congregations. The sub ject of Mr. Stainton’s address was “Christianity and Amusements” or “What Shall' we do with our Leisure Time.” He took his text from Eph esians 5:15-16, “See that ye walk up rightly, not as fools but as wise, re deeming the time because the days are evil.” Th speaker said that the leisure hours in this say created a serious problem. In cities and the larger centres provision was made by Y. M. C. A., Technical Schools and other organizations to give organized supervision for leisure hours but in the smaller municipalities little or no provision was made. If we con demn card playing, dancing and the movies then what have we provided in their place to entertain or pro vide supervised recreation for the young. We complain of boys loaf ing about the streets but what do we do to provide entertainment for them. Is there a place for organiz ed sport? Is there a Y. M. C. A.? Can they go to the Town Hall under supervision? Have they even a room any place. At present mere is no place for the Boy Scouts and only re cently the town hall was refused to them for a meeting one night a week. Perhaps it is better to go to the dance halls than to go in an auto in to the dark night miles away. What is the town council or our school board doing to provide for the leis ure hours? If some great problem comes into our home it would then be realized that it might have been better, even in hard times, to provide a place for organized play rather than to pay the fiddler. After all how much would you give in ex change for your boy or girl. The speaker stated that we cannot use the Scriptures to condem these amusements. He does not find fault with any who practise prohibition in all these amusements in fact he ad mires them. As a child he had been taught to play euchre and he used to enjoy a game of lost heir. For two years he was a member of a bridge; LOCAL NEWS club. Since coming to Exeter her had never been invited to a bridge I M. Wallace Seldon, of London, party. What’s wrong when you don’t i his • invite the preacher? What is wrong | fpr Peter is wrong for Paul. What is right or wrong for the people is right or wrong for the minsiter. No temptation had come to him through cards. He understands liowpver, that there is some gambling. If a man connot sit down and enjoy a game of cards without cheating, or getting mad there is something very much wrong. The way we play bridge today is nerve racking. The chief thing the speaker has against cards is that especially when over in dulged in they become a waste of time and energy. In reference to dancing he had been taught to dance in his home; a home where Christian life and integ rity was beyond question. In his younger days he played his old fiddl^ for dances. He loved the old square dances. Dancing to-day was very different. We have got away from the old home parties and youth now goes to the public dance halls. People young and old practise hugging set to music. He was afraid that the dresses of some of the ladies were beyond the realms of respectability. In Mesopotamia while engaged in Y. M. C. A. work it was his duty to ar range for the entertainment of the soldiers and he would cal] up a num ber of the residents who would ar range to entertain a dozen or more of the men in uniform. From the re sults he regrets now that he had any-, thing to do with such an arrange ment. He says that human nature is not strong enough for men and women to be in the embrace of each other for five or ten .minutes He warned against the frequenting of the public dance halls particularly of the taxi dance. If he had his life to life over again he would not have learned to dance. David danced be fore the Lord but not in the embrace of a young lady. Life and character is too dearly bought to waste time in public dance halls. If you do dance see that ye walk uprightly redeem ing the time because the days are evil. In speaking of moving pictures he thought that this should be one of the best ways to spend the leisure hours. The movie should stan.d alongside the pulpit, the press and the school. Pictures such as,“Over the Hills to the Poor House” had ac-^ complished immeasurable good. It has been estimated that five thou sand persons had been removed from the poor houses following the film ing of this play. In a survey of the pictures, however, it was estimated that 76 per cent, did more harm than good. The central thought of many of them was sex, murder, crime and war. In nearly all of the 7 6 pictures the fallen woman was shown to have secured hei’ objective. Suggestive pictures draw the crowds and swell the bank account and has made of the pictures a questionable way of spending leisure hours. Your attitude towards all these amusements depends on your atti tude to IJesus Christ and the King dom of God. He finished with his text: “'See that ye walk uprightly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time because the days are evil. COURT AT EXETER Magistrate Reid, of Goderich, had a busy time in Exeter ofT Wednes day dealing with four cases arising out of motor mishaps. The trial of Harry Hoffman, of Dashwood, driv er of Guenther’s bus running from Dashwood to Grand Bend and Exe ter, occupied several hours and at tracted a large number. A charge of reckless driving had been laid as the result of an accident near Grand Bend some weeks ago. Mr. Hoffman was returning with his bus from Grand Bend when he overtook Wm.
