" The same is true of parties and festivities.
if one came to me as hu pastor, and says,
'Whet bad 1 better do in regard to pars

quation re coneerned,1 affirm that he s right,
se a Christian man, to determine whether tt is
best for bim to encourage these ,thsuga. 1
might discuss this gaasttos of example with
bim; but to,uight I auronlj speakfig of lib -

that it is improper for me to do now, simply,

not think then would be the least harm in the

a game of billiards played; to witness • bit•
liard tournament. But woad I do it? No.
Why? Became I would nut get enoaph of
