All about Croquet.

By J. Byington

A WORD to the fifty converts recently baptized at our camp-meeting at Battle Creek. If you will spend one-half the time the people of the world spend in playing croquet in reading your Bible and prayer, you will then have the best kind of recreation, and be growing in grace and in the knowledge of the truth. I hope our elder brethren will set a good example in this matter to the lambs of the flock. For the want of opportunity to express these thoughts on the camp-ground, I would speak through the REVIEW. J. BYINGTON.

[Bro B. speaks of spending one-half the time the people of the world spend in playing croquet in Bible reading and prayer; and we would recommend that the other half be not spent in croquet. We are waiting as patiently as we can for the time to come when the malignant type of croquet fever now raging shall subside, which may the Lord in mercy grant may come soon. Ed.]
