Brown The Devil's Mission of Amusement 7 page article from 1889. Hollywood in the church and her ministries. Brown was a student of C.H Spurgeon.
Excerpts:
Different days demand their own special testimony. The watchman who would be faithful to his Lord and to the city of his God needs to carefully note the signs of the times and to emphasize his witness accordingly. Concerning the testimony needed now, there can be little if any doubt. An evil is in the professed camp of the Lord, that is so gross, so brazen in its impudence, that the most shortsighted of spiritual men can hardly fail to notice it.... Amusement for the people is the leading article advertised by each... until the hideous fact has been proved up to the hilt, that "amusement" is ousting "the preaching of the Gospel" as the great attraction... The Concert is fast becoming as much a recognized part of church life as the Prayer Meeting; and it is already, in most places, far better attended.
"Providing recreation for the people" will soon be looked upon as a necessary part of Christian work, and as binding upon the Church of God, as though it were a Divine command, unless some strong voices are raised which will make themselves heard.

McConkey’s books are rare and wonderfully helpful jewels on the Christian life. This one is no exception, and was considered the “best” book on the subject by William Bordon, a much used young adult who made such a difference in former times and whose biography was written by the daughter-in-law of Hudson Taylor. Bordon carried it with him everywhere he went—and for good reason as you will discover! I personally had this book for many years, having found it in a used bookstore, but only picked it up to read as a result of my pastor doing a series on the Holy Spirit. Was I ever surprised and blessed, and found a personal application of the first secret—”you already have the Holy Spirit”—in my having had the book for so many years and not having read and been blessed by it.
