Second, I will always {Jo some part of my playing in the open air.

Fifth, I will choose the amuse ments that my wife can share. Sixth, I will not spend Sunday in carinq for my bodily pleasures so much that I forget my soul and its relations to God’s kingdom. Seventh. I will never spend on pleasure money that belongs to other aspects of my life. Eighth, I will remember to en joy a boy’s sports again when my boy needs me as a chum. Ninth, I will recollect that play should be for the sake 01 my mind as well as for my bod>; hence I shall not shun those forms of entertainment that deal with ideas.
