AMUSEMENTS
" We all know the kind of life that is one of discontinuity," said Dr Temple, Archbishop of York, at a meeting of the Church, of England Men's Society.
"It is summed up in the familiar saying, ' Life is one damn thing after another.' That is what life may be, and will be, unless you make it different. The various things which you are doing, unless you make them different, will thoroughly deserve that epithet attached to hem. " The snare of our generation," continued Dr Temple, " is to be found in the possibility of being endlessly, although also innocently, amused. It is a very real snare, because though all might know that a life of a series of amusements was futile, and therefore a miserable one, yet at any given moment each opportunity for amusement is very attractive, and at the moment it seems more attractive than something which will call for more effort on our part."
