HOLY GROANlNG.
The Sin Of Worldly Pleasure In the
Seventeenth Century.

Inc SIN OF worldly Pleasure In the
Seventeenth Century.
Buckle gives graphic picture Of the
attitude Of the kirk of Scotland Ia
worldly pleasures during the seven.
teenth century. Cheerfulness, especial.
ly when II rose to laughter. was to bp
guarded against. Smiling might occa.
Sionally be allowed. still. being car
nal paStime, ii was a sin to smile on
Sunday. No husband should kiss his
wife and no mother her child on the
Sabbath day. Testing was iucompati-
Bile with holy and serious life. The
ministers were given much TO ween-
Ing, groaning and lamentations. One.
the Rev. Alexander Dunlop. was noted
for his holy groan." To engage IN the
frivolous art of writing poems was
condemned Men should not diSport
themselves with music: dancing was Il
serious SIM" ioyouSness even at Il
was scandal. one should
speak a.l walk with gravity and So
lcmnlty; he should not enjoy his din
ner; only the ungodly reliShcd food.
The great object of life was to be in
state Of atiliction. Whatever pleased
the senses was To suspected. Whatever
was natural was wrong The church
men grew sour in cOuntenance. harsh
in voice. Joy and love disappeared or
were forced to hide in obscure corners.
