Prof. Drummond hits the nail on the
head when he says that the Bible no.
where speaks of such pleasures as
theater going as wrong, but as loss.
1T is loss for man who might be
living in the eternal to be spending
his life in the gutter" Only a fool
would drink out of muddy stream
when he could quench his thirst at .
pure and sparkling spring. Serious
reflection reveals the unutterable folly
OF sacrificing the higher pleasures of
the spirit for the lower pleasures of
sense. Mr.. Horton, the Yale lecturer
for this year, declares that he finds
such abiding joy in communion with
Christ and in working for Him that he
does not even think about amuse-
ments. 1t may be difficult, if not i'm
possible, for most of us to reach that
plane of being, but it is quite possible
for all OF us to rise up to spiritual joys
which shall thrill us with an exquisite
happiness never to be tasted by the
seeker after earth's pleasures, and a
happiness which shall strengthen us in
the athleticism of the Christian life. y

A SOClABLE PARTY.


A True Bit OF History from the Zoolog-
zeal Collection At New York
All the birds and beasts in the ZOO
logical collection at Central park in
New York have every day at their
meals a number of uninvited guests.
Whether they like it or not, the ami
mails on exhibition have to share their
food with host of greedy, noisy, saucy
little visitors that can not be driven
away even by the eagles and vultures.
These little visitors show their con-
tempt for royalty itself by boarding the
lion in his den, sharing his rations, and
sometimes disturbing his maps when
they alight upon his paw or his back.
OF course the visitors referred to are
English sparrows; what other living
creatures would be so bold? The ami.
mails most subject to their prosecutions,
and most submissive to them, are the
prairie-dogs. These little animals are
accustomed to entertain unlimited
guests on the plains of Colorado and
New Mexico, where they live when at
home; guests such as rattlesnakes and
the owls that not only live with them,
but, not content with free lodgings,
sometimes ungratefully eat up their
hosts little ones.
As substitutes for owls and snakes,
the sparrows in Central park are in
deed welcome to the prairie-dogs,
though they always get more than a
fair share of the daily lunch. Some.
times they peck their timid hosts when
the latter attempt to sit at the first
table" The prairie-dogs, however,
never seem to take otfense, but chatter
away to the sparrows and to each other
in the best of spirits, glad to accept
whatever the sparrows are pleased to
leave them. Each dog or family of dogs
has its own burrow, but they are cen.
stantly visiting one another, and held
