THE PURPOSE OF '
THE MOVING PICTURE!
It is ylnittod by all men with1
open mindsl that a certain amount |
of pleasure ' ; ncces.vtry for all who
would he well rounded and fully
developed men and wqmen. It is,
an evident tact that wholesome j
pleasures indulged in with the r:ght;
purpose aie an essential part of a;
normal life. But to just what ex- J
j tent are the pleasures of the day
wholesome and to what degree are
* they not wholesome. Every one who |
possesses a r< a o'nble amount
sanity recognzoa the difference, in
Tight and wrong, lie knows wheth-!
er a pleasure* is wrong- or right, 11
i whether it is not sinful or whether!
it is siniul, therefore he admit3i
that sinful pleasures have a sinlul
purpose, and that those not sinlul
have a rightful purpose. Accord'ngi
i.. xi i i _ i_
ly, it puqjuse uiat wu ou- |
serve, in our selection of pleasure
instead of merely the pleasure |
itself. It is the purpose that makes i
things sinful, and the purpose that I
makes pleasures righteous. The pur!
pose is the supreme good, and not i
the pleasure. Men cat for the puv-;
pose of living, the pleasure is more i
in the, life than in the si mole act of j
eating, notwithstanding1 there is a I
pleasure in the specific act of eat- j
ing, not merely in the eating, hut j

the assurance of the life?giving
power in that which is eaten. It is
therefore agreed that anything tha*.
is not wholesome for the bo ?y
should not be eaten, however, great
the pleasure of the act of eatinr it
may be. It is folly to say that a

state, just 'because there is pleasure
in eating the opium. Can we not
apply the same illustration to the
feediig of our minds? ' Is it not the
purpose and not the act for which
we should engage in pleasure? Is
not the purpose of the pleasure and
not the act of pleasure, the supremo
good ?
The moving picture is one of the
most popular amusements of the
time. More pleasure seekers go to
the movies than to anv other form
of pleasure existent. Let us, then,
see what should be the purpose of
going to the theatre and what
should not be the purpose.
Do we as young men, anci young
women attend the theatre to get tlv?
idea of duty, or to get a mental or i
spiritual benefit ? Or do we attend j
the movies to feast upon the gross j
and sensual actions that arc portrayed
before our eager eyes? We
can not attend for botli purposes.
There is no middle ground. We can !
not sav Ibat we go to the mo\ i >
theatre to rest our minds. There
are many of our college men today
who make this statement as an excuse
for attending movies which are
indecent for any man of character

call "reason" and which
we common people ordinarily call
"the mind." The mind never rests.
It is always at work. When we say
to the mind, "sit thou here and rest
with me while we both feast upon
the delicacies of yonder beautiful
picture," the mind rep'ies in thundering
tones of truth, " 'men may

change its action by giving it a
stimulus which changcs its course
of action. What then shall this
stimulus be? Shall we change the
course of mental action by giving

to social and spiritual welfare

we enter the walls of the theatre!
Let us be sure that the pictures
we look upon are not such a?

and above all, beneficial factors in
uplifting our int?llcctual and spiritual
lives. How many of us ask ourselves
