Lovers of Pleasure More Than God
By Methodist Recorder
"LOVERS of pleasures more than lovers of God," characterized certain persons spoken of by the apostle. While professing to love God, they took far greater delight in the pleasures of the world. There are plenty of such people at the present day. They profess to be Christians, but they greatly prefer going to the skating rink than to the prayer-meeting or to the public worship of God. They have so much to do that they have not time to go to church, and yet they can spend hour after hour in a useless and dangerous pastime. They are too poor to pay their bills in the grocery store, or contribute to the support of the gospel; but they can pay to attend the rink business week in and week out. And yet they are Christians, and the skating rink a delightful place! Wait till God flashes the light of the Judgment on these things, and then they will appear very differently. You may not have long to wait.—Methodist Recorder.
