Tcac3e is no greater want in theae
days, in nil the households Of New
England, than evenings at home. We
have lamented the loss Of the old.
fashioned fireplace. with its cheerful
wood fire roaring up tho chimney, and
its outposts Of apples and cider. But
they would do little good IN these
days, when nobody would Stay At homo
10 enjoy them. Everybody and every
institution seem to have conapired to
make itimpossiblc TO gather the family
at home for o quiet evening. There,
are lectures md concerts and fairs-to
aay nothing Of opera and theatre. and
ball-which arc not yet quito Of tho
past. If family belong to the church
and do not turn inside to the frivolitieS.
and but occasionally TO the intellectual
and social entertainments, there arc
prayer meetings and conference meet
ings, there are preaching meetings and
special meetings and revival meetings.
And then there arc reading rooms and
Christian associations and unions for
Christian work, and the lycoum and
the singing and the glee club. i ts
not easy to soy which Of these instita..
tions Of civilization or Christianization
should be given up. Rather tho effort
Of society Is TO invent md organize

Christian associations and unions
