...no amusement can be innocent that involves the squandering
of precious time, that might be better employed to the glory of
God and the good of man. Life is short. Time is precious. We have
but one life to live. Much is to be done. The world is in
darkness. A world of sinners are to be enlightened, and, if
possible, saved.
Finney, Charles G., "Innocent Amusements," The Independant, New York, November 7, 1872, <http://www.gospeltruth.net/1868_75Independent/721107_inn_amuse.htm>.
