amusements ments has again come round at roper proper times and under judi judicious clods clows restrictions estrict ions lons the pleasure gardens in and near the cit city y are desirable places for recreation and amuse ment mixed parties at any hour in such places are in our view objectionable but more especially at night our opinion on this subject is neither ca captious nor ill founded quite the reverse we speak advisedly when parties are held in such convenient places thet the evil designing and viciously inclined will seek them for lor the worst of purposes cases of druA drunkenness kenness have not been unknown at night parties in pleasure sure gar gardens densi and according to the most inot conclusive evidence evidences assignations have been made culminating in the falling from the path of virtue of young girls A phase of the parties at one place especially cannot be looked upon with much charitable allowance after exhibitions of intoxication in its different phases and a lively fight lad had been engaged in th the 8 divine divin a blessing was invoked in dismissal of the party about midnight this is dragging the religious sentiment downward to a depth that surely can not be viewed with favor by auy any right minded person no amount of outward spra biance blance of reil rell religious sious zeal and fer vor can throw the genuine mantle ot sanctity over any proceedings that will not bear the strictest scrutiny in point ef of propriety and bo so far as the intentions of the proprietors of public gardens are concerned we speak of those holding a standing in the church churchwa Chur chwe we sincerely believe that when night parties are being held on their premises they earnestly desire that no evil should evolve from the them W we e believe however that thole those those g good intentions combined and backed up with their best preventive efforts are ineffectual ag against dinst wrongdoing being the resu result ica iza 0 of f night parties of a mixed character in public gardens were none but the pure and good to assemble on such occasions no more wrong would spring from parties after dark in public gardens than in a public building or hall to the pure all things are pure and if such parties were arranged and managed so as to be entirely select composed of groups of well known friends we do not see that any great harm would be the result only so far as hs the example would be concerned in providing an excuse for those not quite so particular as to moral rectitude Promis promiscuous eubus bubus night parties in public gardens where people can readily withdraw from open scrutiny provide opportunities for the moral vulture that are not readily attained by other exposing to great danger of ruin the young innocent and unwary every thoughtful parent solicitous for the happiness and welfare of their sons and daughters will be opposed to their attending such ga therin gs the opening of such places of public c resort upon sabbath days is 19 a pl plain in and open infraction of the commandment to remember r the sabbath day to keep it holy and for that reason alone if there were no other we would consider it entirely wrong FROM
