Excerpt from Improvement Era, Vol. 17: May, 1914And with that perception came back my child-reverence for the word of God, but while I thus learned to hold sacred again the text that much laughter is sin, it was not true to me till it became true, by which statement, I desire merely to affirm that no moral truth is true, merely because it is apprehended by the intellect, it becomes true only to the extent that it stirs the emo tions and energizes the will - to the extent that one feels the force of its message, and is ready to help carry it out.Now it is precisely because of this last consideration, viz., that within very late years I have come to feel strongly on this subject, that I am now writing this article in the sincere hope that it may help the wave of reform already started in the direction of sup pressing loud laughter.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
