We observe by the Pittsburgh papers
Of yesterday that the Presbytery of Pitts.

ing and inevitable Amusement" ques-
ton. But frat we should notice that the
Presbytery discussed the expediency Of
publishing the record OF the Old Redstonc
Association from 1881 down to 1882,
which are described as being very inter.
e'Iing, and yet as containing some things
which some Of the sons and daugh.
terra Of the sires might not wish
TO oseeiin print. Reference was made to
the records in certain disciplinary cases
which involved various dalliances and
designations Of some OF the pioneer
brethren. 1t was finally voted that the
records should be published under the
supervision of an expurgating committee,
such a' they have in Rome, whose duty
it i''honld be to eliminate anything that
might bring blush 10 the cheeks Of the
descendants Of the old timers.
This matter being disposed of, the
Pfesbytery proceeded to discuss the
amusement question, the dilemma being
a'to what sort Of deliverance should
bsmndc on the subject OF dancing and
card playing. After all that is said
about politicians and editors being afraid
to tackle the unpopular side Of public
questions, we were hardly prepared To
nee 20 many OF the clerical brethren show
so much shakiness in the matter oI
standing squarely up TO the mark on The
amusement question. THERE'S, however
a'great deal OF human nnture in the
world. ltwas admitted on all hands, in
tue debate that took place, that Dancing
and Cara-playlug were very reprehensi
eIepracIices-in fact, sins, and finally the
following resolution was offered and
adopted:
ReO',td, That Presbyiery reiterates

ION the sessions OF congregations to make

subjects oil discipline, and strongly re-
commend pastors TO preach on the sub
lecsol popular amusements.
No sooner waa this resolution passed
Than some Of the brethren began to be

brother said that II the resolution stood
