Fragment: No Amusement Is Innocent

 
No amusement is innocent which takes away the soul from Jesus, or does what it can to take it away. To breathe in the atmosphere of the world is one thing; to breathe it is a thing quite different. Breathe in that element I must, else I should not be in the world; but breathe it, oh! that I never may, else I should be of the world. Faith looks back at the cross and is at peace; it looks forward and pants for glory.
