Turned unto Bubbles.

By Editor

UNDER the heading, "The Bubbling of Bubbles," a Los Angeles daily gives the following notice:—

"Great amusement was last night caused at the First Congregational Church by the Soap Bubble Social, which was eagerly attended. The following programme was carried out:—

PART I.—LITERARY.

PART III.

Social bubble blowing. Refreshments."

The apostle said: "They shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." But it seems that even fables are too weighty matters for many modern professors, and they have to turn their attention to bubbles for a relaxation. What an exercise is that, for the house of God! Was it concerning such performances that our Saviour said, "Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing"? Nay, verily.
