tuesday at 73 30 pm pleasure Heas uro ff probably never has baa there been a season in the history of utah when pleasure seeking has prevailed to a greater extent than in this so far as it has gone this may be greatly owing to the increase of facilities in that direction but hut by no means altogether therso so somewhat of an anomaly in this connection is tile the fact that this excessive celsi ve pleasure hunting manifests itself ata at a time when people generally are calling out about hard times probably many of those making the loudest complaints frequently spending in cash as much means in a few short hours us as would bo be sufficient summie dent to maintain a good sized family for at least a week now kow wo we have bare al brays advocated the necessity of people generally and especially those who have to labor industriously and almost incessantly wh whether ether mentally or physically si sl having a judicious amount of relaxation and enjoyment the natures of most people absolutely demand this as much as they do food to sustain their bodies them but because a sensible amount of this is necessary to men physical health especially of some people there ia is no more reason in running to excess in that direction tham man there is in gorging the stomach with food which h I 1 is always injurious and eo so is the e excess of pleasure hunting bunting mentally J J morally and this pleasure hunting mania mostly takes tabes the form of or railroad excursions exe u and excursions other than by railroad and there is one class clas of trips of this nature that should be discountenanced and discouraged cou raged by at least everybody clalvin claiming to bs be a latter day saint sunday excursions the desecration of tiie the sabbath being one of the plainest and most inexcusable ic breaches of the religion of the saviour and how ho w anybody any body can persistently viola violate t the simple requirement to 61 remember the sabbath day to keep it holy in this or any other manner and yet steney keep up pretensions to religious consistency as a latter day saint is quite remarkable in view of the recent reformatory movement when the great majority of the saints renewed their covenants this continued sabbath desecration h is especially reprehensible when n engaged in by those professing better things tahe take the excessive excursion business as a whole and it has many objectionable features a large amo amount t of money by this means goe goes ju from oin orn the pockets of the masses of the people into pockets where a largo large amount amount

to follow follon in fact a n the same connection examples are too frequently set before the th young and unwary that from being condu conducive civer eiver to their mor al development there is not only an excessive running after railroad excursions but every pleasure resort of nearly every hind is being run after in a manner that shows many people have scarcely anything in their heads but how they can cau spend their time and money to the least advantage to themselves and others if many claiming to be 66 latter day saints are not careful they will be in danger of becoming lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of god a very bad condition to get into and entirely opposed to the spirit of the G gospel however in tile the last days perilous times were to come and zion will hardly
