not at work, is more than some
pedple can comprehend. Even
if time should hang heavy on
their heads, they can very easily
prccure a good book to while
away the time. If a person is
not able to buy a book, there are
plenty of people who-will loan a
good book. Then another thing
is religious worship. There is
hardly a nighi in the week but
what religious services of some
kind are not heldin some of our
churches, to which young men
can attend. How much better it
would be to either read a good
book or be at church, than it is
to be listening to idle gossip."
