_ THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE PLEASURES OF LIFE.

touring car thus becomes a benediction. Bring on the 
‘airship, for it will magnify the revelation of earth’s 
glories. God bless the automobile and aeroplane, if they 
‘carry a man away from his burdens for a while and lift 
him above his clouds of doubt and dispair. 
» Do you see a new luster in a hitherto lack-luster eye? 
Some pleasure put it there. Do you see an elastic spring 
‘in a man’s walk? Pleasure put it there. Do you see a 
“hopeful look in anxidus, careworn faces? <A pleasure 
put it there. 
Pleasure holds the seeret of chemical changes in the 
‘blood. Pleasure is a magician, a wonder worker. Pale, 
eare-worn, excitable women are transformed in the hour 
"of pleasure. Nervous, excitable, emaciated men are 
- transformed in exchanging cares for pleasure. 
| Invest in pleasure, not in houses and lands and busi- 
ness if they distress you. A pleasure trip is the best kind 
of an investment at times. 
There is a mental worth in pleasure. Get into the 
‘crowd that laughs, among the people that indulge in 
fun, and see. 
- There is a moral worth in pleasure. The moral weak- 
_ling may at times be shocked at a pure and legitimate 
pleasure. So is a physical weakling shocked by a plunge 
Pinto the surf at fifty degrees, but it is a pleasurable, 
thrilling embrace to the physically strong. 
Half the brutality of humanity comes from a lack of 
pleasure in life. The merry glad soul 
criminal. 
Pleasure is an integral part of man’s need. It is as 
healthy an appetite as the appetite for bread. It is no 
more a luxury than bread is a luxury. It is not the 
caprice of some abnormal craving, it is a healthy appetite 
of the soul. 
There are those that indulge in pleasure until it is a 
dissipation ; but there are those also that indulge in eat- 
ing until it is a dissipation. There is a difference be- 
tween pleasure and dissipation. Pleasure is jam in 
moderation, dissipation is jam eaten with a ladle. 
A Christian has as much moral right to enjoy his life 
as anyone. If the worldling has a right to dance, to en- 
joy the theatre, to go automobile riding on Sunday the 
Christian has the same right, and if it is wrong for the 
Christian it is wrong for every one. It does not matter 
whether you make a profession of religion or not, every 
ane is held responsible to God for doing what is right or 
wrong. 
To make the world and its pleasures our chief aim in 
life is where the fatal mistake oceurs. ‘‘Seek first the 
Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these 
things shall be added unto you’’—theatres, pleasure 
trips, fine clothes, big houses, clubs, yachts, automobiles, 
airships—all added unto you; for are they not all just 
playthings for the children of the great Father —play- 
things soon broken, soon thrown away? And then we all 
get tired and sleepy as the night creeps gently over the 
nursery and playground and all is still.

COMMON DRINKING CUP TO GO. 
After October 1 Its Use Is Prohibited 
in This State. 
The common drinking eup, which 
has held its position in all public 
places in this state for many years, 
will be prohibited in Massachusetts, 
beginning October 1, this year, in ac- 
cordance with an act passed by the 
last state legislature. The state board . 
of health authorized this action fol- 
lowing the passing of the act of the 
legislature. 
This action was taken in an at- 
tempt to prevent the spread of com- 
municable diseases, which it is said 
the common drinking cup has done. 
No cups will be allowed in public 
parks, streets, publie buildings or 
institutions, hotels, theatres, rail- 
road cars, stations or steam or ferry 
boats. Any violation of the act re- 
cently passed will make the person 
or persons guilty lable to a fine not 
exceeding $25 for each offence. 
Manchester, lke other places, is 
falling in line. The school committee 
is having sanitary fountains installed 
at the three schools, two in each 
school and also at the public play- 
ground. The other fountains about 
town must also be attended to.
