          THE PLEASURES OF READING
        ************************************

    It cannot be impugned that one of the best forms of recreation is Reading books. It is easily available, conducive to the health of body as well as health of mind and elevation of the spirit.
   "Books,"said Milton,"Are not absolutely dead things but do contain a potency of life in them so active as the soul whose progeny they are." Indeed books are our best companion, guide and adviser. Reading books gives us great pleasure.
  Reading is a pleasure that pays its own way.It is the cheapest mode of recreation.The briefest interval of leisure can be made delightful bu it. The obscurest village offers opportunities for the gratification of this taste.
   Reading is a recreation of which the pleasures and the profits are out of all proportion to the amount of time we devote to it. It is a pleasure which is absolutely innocent, free from the faintest taint of vice or wrong, strong and thrilling while it lasts, soothing and elevating when it is dropped.
