INTRODUCTION.
BY GEORGE H. TREVER, PH.D., D.D. Author of Comparative
Theology, etc.
A BOOK on "Questionable Amusements and Worthy Substitutes" is
timely to-day. Such a grouping of subject matter is in itself a
commendation. Possibly we have been saying "Don't" quite enough
without offering the positive substitute. The "expulsive power of a new
affection" is, after all, the mightiest agency in reform. "Thou shalt not"
is quite easy to say; but though the house be emptied, swept, and
garnished, unless pure angels hasten to occupy the vacated chambers,
other spirits worse than the first will soon rush in to befoul them again.
The author of these papers, the Rev. J.M. Judy, writes out of a full,
warm heart. We know him to be a correct, able preacher of the gospel,
and an efficient fisher of men. Having thoroughly prepared himself for
his work by courses in Northwestern University and Garrett Biblical
Institute, by travel in the South and West of our own country, and by a

visitation of the Old World, he has served on the rugged frontier of his
Conference, and among foreign populations grappling successfully
with some of the most difficult problems in modern Church work.
The following articles aroused much interest when delivered to his own
people, and must do good wherever read. In style they are clear and
vivid; in logical arrangement excellent; glow with sacred fervor, and
pulse with honest, eager conviction. We bespeak for them a wide
reading, and would especially commend them to the young people of
our Epworth Leagues.

PREFACE.
"QUESTIONABLE Amusements and Worthy Substitutes" is a
consideration of the "so-called questionable amusements," and an
outlook for those forms of social, domestic, and personal practices
which charm the life, secure the present, and build for the future. To
take away the bad is good; to give the good is better; but to take away
the bad and to give the good in its stead is best of all. This we have
tried to do, not in our own strength, but with the conscious presence of
the Spirit of God.
The spiritual indifference of Christendom to-day as one meets with it in
all forms of Christian work has led us to send out this message.
