of two days work into one cannot redoufd to Gods glory. Men become the slaves rath- CT than the masters of their business. They ples into retired place to seek rest from the cares and anxieties of the world. Neverths less although men should take recreation, they should never allow amusements to lead astray the serious purposes of life. The true office of amusements is to fit one for his real work by relaxing the strain and tension of mind and body for 8 season, without at the same time taking from the pureness Of soul.
 He who rests by the way may reach as soon
 his journeys end as he who presses on with
 every nerve and muscle stretched to the ut
 most. It is only the worker who is entitled
 to recreation creation of his powers,
 physical, mental and spiritual Amusements
 which do this are legitimate But conscience
 must be our guide in this respect. No definite
 rules can be given for individual conduct. A
 Christian must never countenance what de-
 bases or lowers him. He cannot afford to
 mix with evil It is unmanly to show one's
 self at ease with evil. He must turn away from such rather than compromise his char
 acter. It is not very much to give up wrong
 amusements, but it is much to attend them.
 But although amusements may be innocent,
 they must not claim too great place in this
 short life. People rush from the gay season ID town to the fashionable and FRIVOLOUS L10
 of the summer resort only to return worn out
 and iaded at autumn. They finally come to
 think that it is the main business of life to
 crowd in as many enjoyments as possible into the same.
 AS general thing the amusements of this generation are purer than those of the last. Public plays and works of fiction have taken a higher stand in morals. Christian people can do more than they are aware of ip elevat- ing the tone of public amusements. Public sentiment is powerful Drunkenness is no longer so prevalent at social gatherings as in former years.
 But too much ability, too much time and | money are bestowed nowadays on public | amusements. Popular works are often too frivolous. Sensationalism is the order of the | day. Men are in a perpetual strain of in- tense excitement and therefore seek relief in amusements of sensationalism. The whole some and quiet social life of by-gone days is
 rarely now seen Men live in state of con- | tinual excitement. In this city during the past six months $1OO,O 900 was taken by trav- | cling shows. Although amusements are | higher in character, they are more wide | spread than formerly. Let us therefore look upon them in their proper light as recrea- l tive, in every sense, remembering that even
 now we are of that fair city where nothing | shall enter that defleth,' ,'' or t'worketh abom- | nation or maketh ie."

 'sEdgewood Folks pleased the Cincinnati folks that visited the Opera House last even inga much, if not better, than any enter tainment the management has offered this season. The first scene is one of the hand somest yet shown at this house, and is as charming and realistic one as we have seen for years. It is an old time church picnic in a grove, and the pretty little children who take part in it make beautiful picture that does one good to see. Mir. Sol Smith Rus sell is one of the best and most natural hu- morists on our stage, and as we say in the classics, he paralyzed' his audience last night, and they seemed to desire to keep him on the stage all the time.
