test•e by whicb they may be known as
good or bad. The text is Judges xvi, 2$:
"Anal it came to pass when their bearts
were ;toothy that they said, Call for Sam-
son, thee he may make tie sport. .A.nd
they called for 'damson out of the prison
bouse, and be made them sport."
There were 3,000 people assembled as
the Temple of Dagen. They bad come to
make seerof eyeless Samson. They Were
all ready for the entertainment. They
began to clap and pound, impatient for
the amu-ement to begin, and they cried:
"Fetch kn out! Foe h him out!" Yon-
der I see the blind old giant coming, led
by the band et a child luta the very
suidse of the temple. At his first appear-
ance there goes up a shout of laughter
and derision. Tbe blind old giant pre-
tende he is tired and wants to rest him-
self against the pillar.; of the house, so be
ears to the lad who leads him, "Whig
Me where the main pillare are." The lad
does so. Then the strong plan puts his

mightiest push that mortal ever made,
throws himself forward until the wilt*:

In my sermons yon MCt have noticed
that I have no sympathy with oedemas -
Veal straitjackets or with that wholesale
denunciation of amusements to whielt
many ar.1 pledged. I believe the church
of God arts made a tremendous mistake
in trying to suppress the sportfulness of
youth and drive out from men their love
of amueenieut. If God ever implanted
anything in us, he implanted this desire.
But instead of providing for this demand
of our nature the church of God has for
the main part ignored it. .As in a riot
the mayor plants a battery at the end of
the Area and has it fired off, so that
everything is cut clown that bappens to
stand in the range, the goad as well as
the bad, so there are men in the church
who plant their batteries of condemnation
ana tire away indiscriminately. Every-
thing is condomued. They talk as if they
would like to both our youth dress in
blue uniform, like the children of an
orpban asylum, and march down the path
4 of lite to the tune of the dead march in
"Saul." They hate a blue sash, or a rose-
bud in the hair, or a tasseled gaiter, and
think a man almost ready for the lunatic
asylum who utters a conuedrum.
A Glorious Work.
Young MOWS Christian associations of
the country aro doing a glorious work.
They have tine reading rooms, and all the
influences aro of the best kind, and are
now adding gymnasiums and beveling
alleys, where without any evil surround-
ings our young men may got physical as
well as spiritual improvement. Wo are
dwindling away to a narrow chested,
weak armed, feeble voiced race when
God calls us to a work which be wants
physical as well as spiritual athletes. 1
woule to God that the tittle might soon
come when in all our colleges and theo-
logical seminaries, as at Princeton, a
gymnasium shall be established. We
spend seven years of bard study in pre-
paration for the ministry and come out
with bronchitis and dyspepsia and liver
complaint, and then crawl up into the
pulpit and the people say, "Doesn't he
look heavenly!" because he looks sickly.
Let the church of God direct rather than
ttempt to suppress the desire for amuse-
ment. The best men that the world every
Wilberforce trundled hoop with his chil-
dren; Martin Luther helped dress the

Our communities aro filled with men
and women who have in their souls un-
measured resources for sportfulness and
, frolia. Show me a man who never lights
,
up with sportfulness and has no sympathy
with the recreations of others, and I will
sbow you a man who is a stumbling
block to the kingdom of God. Such men
are caricatures of religion. They lead
young people to think that a man is
good in proportion as he groans and
frowns and looks sallow, and that the
height of a man's Christian stature is in
proportion to the length of his face.

Now, all opera houses, theatres, bowl-
ing skating rinks and all styles of
amusement, good and bad, I put on trial
to -day and judge of them by certain car-
dinal principles. First. you may judge of
any amusement by its healthful result or
by its baneful reaction. There are people
who seem made up of hard • fads. Tbey
are a combination of multiplication tables
and statistics. If you show them an ex-
quisite picture, they will begin to discuss
the pigments involved in the coloring. If
you show them a beautiful rose, they
Will submit it to a botanical analysis,
which Is only the poet -Moneta examine -
tion of a flower. They never flo anything
inure than feebly smile. There are no
great tides of feeling surging up from the
depth of their soul in billow after billow
of reverberating leugliter. They seem us
if nature had built them by contract and
?nada a bungling job out of it. But,
blessed be God, there are people in the
world who ha-ve bright faces and whose
life is a song, au anthem, a paean of
victory, elven their troubles aro like the
vines that crawl up the side of a great
tower on the top of which the sunlight
sits and the soft tura o m
eitter o per-
petual carnival. They are the people you
like to have come to your honse. Tbey
aro the people 1 !leo to have come to my
house. Now, it is these oxhilarant and
m
sypathetio and warm beerted people
that are most tempted to pernicious
aum-ements. In proportion as a ship is
strong'
awift it want a helmeman, In
proportion lei a horse is gay it wants a
strong driver, and these people of exu-1
hermit nature will do well to look at the
rection of all theft amusements. If an
amusement sends you holm at night
nervous so you eaunot sleep, and yen rise
in the morning not because you are slept
out, but because your duty drags you
front your slumbers, you have been
where you ought not to have been. There
aro amusements that send a 'Mall next
day to bis work bloodshot, yawning,
stupid, riauseated, and they aro wrong'
kinds of arausemente There are enter-
tainments Ora give a man disgust with
tho drudgery of life, with tools because
they are not swords, with Working aprons
because they aro not roles, with cattle
because they aro not infuriated bulls of
the arena, If any amusement sends you
home longing for a life of romance and
thrilling adventhre, love that takes poison
and shoots itself, moonlight adventures
and hairbreadth escapee you may depend
won it that you are the sacrificed victim
of unser-notified pleasure. Onr recreations
aro intended to build us up, and if they
pull us down as to our moral or as to
our physical strongeli yon may come to
the conclusion that they are obnoxious.
e
again I have gone and implored for the
I young man—sometimes, alas! the peti-
tion unavailing.
How brightly the path of unrestrained
amusement opens! The young man says:
"Now I am off for a good time. Never
mind economy. get money somehow.
What a line roa,d1 What a beautiful day
for a ride! Crack the whip and over the
turnpike! Come, boys, 1311 high your
glasses( Drink! Long life, health, plenty
of rides just like 13is!" Hardworking
men bear the clatter of the hoofs and
look up and say: "Why, I wonder where
those fellows get their money from 1 We
have to toil and drudge. They do noth-
ing." To these gay men life is a thrill
and an excitement. They stare at other
people and in tura are stared at. The
watoh chain jingles. Tho cup foams. The
cheeks flush. The eyes flasb. The mid-
night hears their guffaw. They swagger.
They jostle decent men on the sidewalk.
They take the name of God in vain.
They parody the hymn they learned at
their zoother's knee, and to all pictures
or coming disaster they cry out, "Who
?rarest" and to the counsel of some Chris-
tian friend, "Who are you?" Passing
among the street some night you hear a
shriek In a grogshop, the rattle of the
watchman's club, the rush of the police.
What is the matter now? Oh, this reck-

Danger of TJnrestraincd Amusement.
Still further, those amusements are
wrong which lead into expenditure be-
yond your means. Money spent in recrea-
toads not thrown away. It is all folly
for us to come from a place of amuse-
ment feeling that we have wasted our
money and time. You may by it have
made an investment worth more than
the transaction that yielded you $100 to
$1,000. But how many properties have
been riddled by costly amusements? The
table has been robbed to pay tbe club.
The champagne has cheated the children's
wardrobe. The carousing party has burn-
ed up the boy's primer. The tablecloth
of the corner saloon is in debt to the E
wife's faded dress.Excursions that in a
day make a tour around a wholemonth's
wages, ladies whose lifetime business it
is to "go shopping," bare their counter-
part in uneducated children, bankrupt-
cies that shock the money market and
appall the ohuroh and that send drunken-
ness staggering across the richly figured
carpet of the mansion and dashing into
the mirror, and drowning out the carol
of music with the whooping of bloated
sons come home to break their old
mother's heart. When men go into amuse-
ments that they cannot afford, they first
borrow what they cannot earn, and then
they steal what they cannot borrow.
First they go into embarrassment and
then into theft, and when a man gets as
far on as that he does not stop short of
the penitentiary. There is not a prison in
the land where there are not victims of
unsanotifted amusements. How often I
have had parents come to me and ask me
to go and beg their boy off from the con-
sequence of crimes that he had commit-
ted against his employer—the taking of
fends out of the employer's till, or the
aisarrangements ef the a000unts I Why, he

You may judge of amusements by
their effect upon physical health. The
need of marry good people is physical re-
cuperation. There are Christian men who
write hard things against their immortal
souls when there is nothing the matter
with them but an incompetent liver.
There are Christian people who seem to
think that it is a good sign to be poorly,
and because Richard Baxter and Robert
Ball were invalids they think that by
t e same sickness they may come to the
same grandeur of character. I want to
tell Christian people that God will hold
you responsible for your invalidism if it
is your own fault and when through
right exercise and _prudeece you might
be athletic and welr. The Edited of the
body upon the soul you tecknowledge.

like unto the blood of the lion or the
tiger or the bear, while his disposition
will change and become fierce, cruel and •
unrelenting., The body has a powerful
effect upon the soul. There are people
whose ideas of heaven am all shut out
with dories of tobacco smoke. There are
people who dare to shatter the physical
vase in which God put the jewel of etern-
ity. There are men with great hearts and
intellects in bodies worn out by their own
neglects. Magnificent machinery capable
of propelling a greet letruria across the
Atlantic, yet fastened in a rickety North

'monistic encounter excites only our con-
tempt, but we confeee to great admira-
tion fur the man who has a greet soul in
an athletic body, every nerve, muscle and

men tbrough neglect should allow their
physical health to go down beyond re-
wire, spending the rest of their life not in
some great enterprise far God and the
world, but in studyine what is the best
thing to take for dyspepsia. A ship which
ought with all sails set and, every man
at his post to be carrying a rich cargo
for eternity, employing all its men in
stopping up leekages. When you nifty
through some of the popular and health-
ful recreations of our time work off your
spleen and your querulousness and one-
half of your physical and mental ail-'
merits, do not turn your baak from such'
a grand medicament.
Sinful Pleasures.
Again, judge of the places of amuse-
ment by the companionship into which
tboy put you. If you belong to an organi-
zation whore you have to associate with
the intemperate, with the unclean, with
the abandoned, however well they may
bo dressed, in the name of God quit it.
They will despoil your nature. They will
undermine your moral obaraoter. They
will drop you whon you are destroyed.
They will not give one cent to support
your children when you are dead. They
will weep not one tear at your burial.
They will chuckle over your damnation.
But the day comes w110/1 the men who
have exerted evil influence upon their
follows will be brought to judgment.
Scene, the last day. Stage, the rocking
earth. Enter dukes, lords, kings, beggars,
downs, No sword. No tureen No crown.
For footlights, the kindling flames of a
world. For orchestra, the trumpets that
wake the dead. For gallery, the clouds
filled with angel spectators. For applause,
the clapping floods of the sea. For our -
tains, the heavens rolled together as a
scroll. For tragedy, the doom of the de-
stroyed. For farce, the effort to serve the
world and God at the sante time. For
the last scene of the fifth act, the tramp
of nations aoross the stage, some to the
right, others to the left.
Again, any amusement that gives you
a distaste for domestic life is bad. How
many bright domestic circles have been
broken up by sinful amusements? Tbe
father went off, the mother went off, the
child went off. Thera are all round us
the fragments of blasted bouseheids. Oh,
if you have wandered away, X would like
to charm you baok by the sound of that
one word, "Home." Do you not know
that you have but little more time to
give to demestio welfare? Do you not see,
father,
that your children are soon to go
out into the world, and all the influence
for good you are to have over them you
must bare now? Death will break in on
your conjugal relations, and, alas if you
bavo to stand over the grave of one who
perished from your neglect.
I saw a wayward husband standing at
the deathbed of his Christian wife, and X
saw her point to a ring on her finger and
heard her say to her husband, "Do you
see that ring?" Ho replied, "Yes, I see
it." "Well," said she, "do you remember
who put it there?" "Yes," said he, "I
put it there." And all the past seemed
to rush upon him. By the memory of
that day when in the presence of men
and angels you promised to be faithful
in joy and sorrow and in siokness and in
health; by the memory of those pleasant
hours wben you sat together in your new
house talking of a bright future; by the
cradle and the excited hour when one life
was spared and another given; by that
sickbed, when the little one lifted up the
Molds and called for help and you knew
he must die, and he put one arm around
each of your nooks and brought you very
near together in that dying kiss; by the
little grave in the cemetery that you
never think of without a rush of tears;
by the family Bible, where in its stories
of heavenly love is the brief but expres-
sive record of births ane deaths; by the
neglects of the past and by the agonies of
the future; by a judgment day wben hus-
bands and wives, parents and children,
in immortal groups will stand to be
caught up in shining array or to shrink
down into darknoss—byr all that I beg
you to give home your best affections. I
look in your eyes to -day, and I ask you
the question that Gehazi asked of the
Shunammite: "Its it well with thee? Is
it well with thy husband? Is it well with
thy child?" God grant that it may be
everlastingly well!
Deciding Destiny.
Let me say to all young men your style
of amusement will decide your eternal
destiny. One night I saw a young man
at a street corner evidently doubting; as
to which direction he bad better take. He
had his hat lifted high enough so you
He had a stout chest; be had a robust
development. Splendid young man. Cul-
tured young man. Honored young man.
Why did he stop there while so many
were going up and down? The fact is
that very man bas a good angel and a
bad angel contending for tbe mastery of
his spirit. ,A.ncl there was a good an4 a
bad angel struggling with that young
man's soul at the corner of the street.
"Come with me," said the good angel.
"I will take you home. I will spread zny
wing over your pathway, I will lovingly
escort you all through life, I will bless
every cup you drink .out of, every couch
you rest on, every doorway you enter; I
will consecrate your tears when you weep,
your sweat when you toil, and at the last
I will hand over your grave into the
hand of the bright angel of a Christ
reeurrection. to answer to your father's
pitmen and your mother's prayer 1 bare
been sent of the Lord out of heaven to be
your guardian sprit. Come with mei"
said tho good angel in a voice of unearth-
ly symphony. It was music like that
which drops from a lute of heaven when
a seraph breatbeeon it. "No, no," said
the had angel, "canto with 1110 1 bare
something better to offer. The wines I
pour are from ehallees of bewitching ear -
ousel, the dance I lead is over a floor
tessellated with unrestrained indulgences.

point in that young inan's bistory, for,
the good angel flown, he hesitated no
longer, but started on a pathway which
is beautiftil at the Opening, but Masted
at the Ian. The bad angel, leading the
way, opened gale after gate, and at each
gate the rail becamo rougher and the
sky armee lurid, and, what was peculiar,
as the mite "lammed shut it came to with
a jar that indicated that it would never

angel turned to tackeloth and the eyes of.
light betaine hollow with hopeless grief,
and the fountains that at tbe start bad
tossed wine inured forth bubbling tears
and foaming blood, and on the right side
of the road there was a serpent, and the
man said to the bad angel, "What is
that serpent?" And the answer was,
"That is the serpent of stinging re-
morse." On the left slue of the road there
was a lion, and the man asked the bad
angel, "What is thnt lion?" And the an-
swer was, "That is the lion of all de-
vouring despair." A vulture flew through
the sky, and the man asked the bad angel,
"What is that vulture?" And the answer
was, "That is the vulture waiting for the
carcasses of the slain." And then the
man began to try to pull oft of him the
folds of something that had wound him
round and round, and. he said to the bad
angel, "What is it that twists me in this
awful convolution?" And the answer
was, "That is tho worm that never dies!"
And then the man said to the bad angel:
"What does all this mean? I trusted in
what you said ab the corner of the street
that night. 1 trusted it all, and why
have you thus deceived me?" Then the
last deception fell off the charmer, and it
said: "I was sent forth from the pit to
destroy your soul. I watohed my chance
for many a long year. When you hesitated
that night on the street, I gained my
triumph. Now you are here. Ha, ha! Yoa

0 young man, will the good angel sent
forth by Christ or tho bad angel sent
forth by sin get the victory over your
soul? Their wings are Interlocked this

Scotch Humor.
An old gentleman is recorded to have
emerged gloriously from the difficulty
propounded by a canny little urchin in
the Sunday school, 'who, when "Jacob's
Ladder" was under consideration, Wanted
to know if "all angels had wings;" and
when answered in the affirmative, pro-
ceeded: "Weel, whit did they want tae be
elimbin' up an' loon a ladder for?" A
gleam came into the old Sootchman's eye
as he responded pawkily: "Weel, weal,
my laddie, it's gey like the angels were
on the pouk" (molting).
Having missed one of his students for
several Sundays, he said to one of her
relatives: "I haena seen yeer oousin Bell
at the class for a long while. Ye ken it's
her duty taetattend the sohule. Wbaur
has she gaen?" "I canna -very wed tell
ye that, meenister," was the cautious re-
ply, "but she's deed."
Scotsmen are sometimes very funny
when they joke, but some of those grim
old sons of the Covenant are even more
humorous wben they pray. In an old
volume, published in Edinburgh in 1698,
entitled "Scottish Presbyterian Elo-
quence," is to he found the tollowing
notice: "Mr. Areskin prayed in the Iron
Kirk last year: 'Lord, have mercy on all
fools an' idiots, and particular on the
Magistrates of Edinburgh.' "—The Arena.
The Meat Time for Work.
This story is told of an eccentric
preaoher. One day, on visiting the °Mirth,
he found a vvhitowasher at work in the
church cellar, and, to his horror, the man
was whistling a very lively air as he
worked. The preacher reproved him
sharply, reminding bim that suoh music
was out of place in such an edifice, even
if it was in the cellar. "Beg your par-
don!" said the whitewasher. "I forgot
where I was." And then, to show he was
sorry, he started to whistling "Old Hund-
red." His hand, of course, kept time to
the n3usio, and "Old Hundred" made the
whitewash brush go wonderfully slow.
Tbe preacher watched him for a few
minutes; then :he cried: "Oh, go back to
your dance tune, or the job will never be
donel"

THROWN ON THE SUBJECT OF'
HOME DYEING,
There are dyes—the world -famed Dia-
mond Dyes—that crown our labors and
home Dyeing work with perfect suc-
cess, and there are imitations and
werthiess dyes that brlog ruin and des-
as.ter wherever they are used.
There are dyes—the chemically pure
end scientifically prepared Diamond
Dyes—that bare brought blessings to
millions of homes for long years, and
there are the vile preparations and mix-
tures of imitators who, as far as etyle
of package is concerned, get as near
the "Diamond" as they dare go. But
what shall be said of the contents—
the ingredients—that the women of Cell -
adz are asked to dye with? Little more
can be added to what has so ofteo ap-
peered an the press of the country.
These imita.tion lyes are simply de-
ceptions; they are adulterated and don-
gdons preparations, hurtful to the
bands of the user, and destroyers of
valuable garments and materials.
The mramfacture of Diamond Dyes is
reduced to a science, and to -day •they
are the only dyes that dare guarantee
their work—that dare proclaim certain
victory for every user who will follow
the plain &Tedious. Diamond Dyes
have a wide -spread popularity; other
Mends of dyes are hardly known out-
side of the greedy, long -profit dealers
who seal them to the unsuspecting
public. Avodd all imitation packages as

"Who's fighting?"
"My father and another roam"
"How long have they been at it?"
"Oh, half am hour."
"But why didn't you come and tell
me about it before?"
"Why, because dad was getting the
best of it all along- up to 'ten minutes
ago."
