Recreation
213
Lord. If you are true to Christ then, you will not try to form excuses
for your nonattendance, but will plainly and modestly declare that you
are a child of God, and your principles would not allow you to be in a
place, even for one occasion, where you could not invite the presence
of your Lord
Between the associations of the followers of Christ for Christian
recreation and worldly gatherings for pleasure and amusement will
exist a marked contrast. Instead of prayer and the mentioning of Christ
and sacred things will be heard from the lips of worldlings the silly
laugh and the trifling conversation. Their idea is to have a general high
time. Their amusements commence in folly and end in vanity
