DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Popular Amusements HE subject Of which this book treats Popular Amusements - is one Of grave interest to the Church and to society in general. The Discipline Of the Methodist Episcopal Church has always required its members and probationers, as an evidence Of religious earnestness, to refrain from such diversions as can not be used in the name Of the Lord Jesus, and also from singing those songs or reading those books which do not tend to the knowledge or love Of God. In the following passages Of Holy Scripture, worldly amusements or pleasures are denounced by god: He that loveth pleasure Shall be a poor man.

All the ma terial used is old; much of it is common to his torians and antiquarians, and yet so scattered through and hidden in large works not in general circulation as to be practically inaccessible and un known.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Laughter and Life: A Christian View of Amusements The book deals in a fresh and original way with the relation of laughter to life. It shows how one may laugh for God as well as pray to God and serve God. The theme is of universal practical interest to church and Sunday - school workers, parents and teachers, as well as to the increasing number of those who are devoting themselves tb the promotion of the play life of the nation. That it won a prize in competition with other fresh and able treatments of the theme indicates its special excellence. It should well serve its mission of making laughter enrich and strengthen rather than debase human life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Amusements, in the Light of Reason and Scripture The following pages have at least the merit of being written from conviction, and of being addressed to a subject of living interest to the church and the world. Men are actually more alert to the question how to be amused than how to be saved; and more money and time are spent upon amusements than upon churches and missions. Our present business is with the relation of the Church to this wide and fascinating domain. This essay is an attempt at a fair and candid discussion of this theme, which touches SO vitally the interests of the home and the church, and gives tone and color, strength or weakness to our social life.
