be guided and controlled by principle in any
respect. Wherein does the calling differ from
that of the circus rider? Wherein is devotion

lie has higher aim than public applause,
and wins his reward by conqaering and not
by cate''imy. This thing obtains only in eX
ceptional instances.
Our point is this: that. while we believe in
the necessity and Legitimacy of amuSemcnts,
we do not believe that it is legitimate to seek
them in an institution which necessarily de-
grades lis Instruments The reason for this
necessary degradation we believe to lie in the
fact that God never made man with the in
tcntion that he should have no higher trade,
or calling, or profession, than to amuse 9TH
crs. No man with an eye upon history can
deny that the tendency of the lives of those
who 1--we upon public applause. is downward.
This is the fact even in regard to great ma
.jorty Of public singers. though perhaps an
other fact should be taken into consideration
with these as well as with actors. Very heavy
drafts upon the nervous system, which public
exhibitors are obliged to make give natural
ly a strong appetite for strong sensual excite
