Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - December 31, 1875, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winter Anui Somite. One of the most puzzling questions which parents have to Deal with is that which re lates to the amusements of children and especially to those among them who have reached Young manhood and Young womanhood. The most of us Are Apt to for get that we have once been Young and that while we Are tired enough with our daily world to enjoy our evenings in quiet by our firesides the Young Are overflowing with vitality which must have vent somewhere. The girls and Young women. Particularly who cannot join in the rough sports of the boys have As a Rule a pretty saw time of it. They go to parties when invited but parties Are All alike and soon become a bore. A social life does not co Mist in pack ing five Hundred people together in a Box feeding them ices and sending them Home with Ching limbs aching eyes and a first Closs Chance for clip theria. But the Young must have social life. They must have it regularly Anil How to have it Satis with Freedom without danger to health of body and soul with intellectual stimulus and really one of the most important of social questions. It is not generally the boy and the girl who spend their Days in school that need outside amusement or society. Tley get it in Large measure among their companions during the Day and As their evenings Ore Short they get along very comfortably with their Little games and their re creative read ing. It is the Young woman who Lias left school and the Young Man who is preparing for life Iii office or counting room in the shop or on the farm that need social recreation which will give significance to their lives and at the same time culture to their minds. If. They fail to unite culture with their recreations they never get it. It not harsh to say tout nine Young men h every ten go into life without any culture the girls do better because first they take to it More naturally and second because ii the absence of other worthy objects of lift this is always before them and always attain Able. The great Point then is to unite culture with amusement and social enjoy m ent. Dancing and Kindred amusement Are Well enough in their time and Way but they Are Chilli so. There must be something better there is something better. It is an easy thing to establish either in country or City neighbourhoods the Reading club. Twenty live Young men and women of congenial tastes habits and social be longings can easily meet in one another s Licusea once during every week through five or six r its of the year. With a Small fund they can buy Good books and Over these read aloud by one or the other of their number they can spend an hour and a half most pleasantly and profitably. They will find in these books topics of conversation for the remainder of the time they spend together. If they can illuminate the evening with music nil the better. Whatever accomplishments May be in the Possession of any of the Mem Bers of the club May be drawn upon to give variety to the interests of the occasion. This is entirely practicable everywhere. It is More profitable than Amateur less exhaustive of time and Energy. It can be United with almost any literary object. The Shakespeare club is nothing but a Reading to the study of a single author and Shakespeare May Well engage a club for a single Winter. Such a club would cultivate the Art of Good Reading which is one of the Best and most useful of All accomplishments. It would cultivate thought imagination Atid taste. In Brief the whole tendency of the Reading club is toward Cul one thing notwithstanding All our educational advantages the most deplorable lacking in the average american Man and monthly. .sub8criptions.were.promised to defray expenses to carry the cose before the court before the privy Council if a Model City.

The now Prophet is a Scotchman named Walter Murray Gibson whom Brigham despatched to the Sand wich islands As a missionary. There Gibson threw off the Yoke of allegiance to Young and set up on his own account. He succeeded in mastering in ninety Days the Kanaka Tongue which circumstances led the natives to attribute to his miraculous Powers since most of the missionaries aft or Many years of Effort have Only succeeded in gain ing an imperfect knowledge of the Unge and no White Man it is said Ever before in so Shore a time Learned it. Gibson was aided in Chi work by the old native legend that the god Lono who was the promised redeemer would come to them in form of a White mail. Gibson seized upon this and through his shrewdness and eloquence he addressed them in their native Tongue persuaded the natives to accept him As their veritable Lono. He modified mormon ism to conform to the ancient traditions of Rio islanders added to it some doctrines Bor rowed from Mahomet and in four months after he began preaching had. Gathered to Gether 150 disciples. He then announced that he was going into the wilderness to commune with the spirit and after fasting and payer into a secluded Dell in the Island of from thence in seven Davs he returned proclaiming new revelations set up As the holy Prophet appointed his apostles and planned an immense Temple when had received reports of the of Gibson or As the natives fair if a band of the ,1 f work Gib another Island with his follow his Wesley an Institute.
