Summary: "Questionable Amusements and Worthy Substitutes" by J. M. Judy is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century, reflecting on various social behaviors deemed questionable and offering positive alternatives. This work aims to engage readers, particularly young people, by addressing issues such as tobacco use, drunkenness, gambling, dancing, and theater-going, all while proposing worthy substitutes that promote healthier and more moral living. The opening of the book introduces the author and his intention to tackle the spiritual indifference prevalent in society regarding these "questionable amusements." In his introduction, George H. Trever commends Judy for his heartfelt approach to preaching and reformative work. The initial chapters delve into the detrimental effects of tobacco, highlighting its physical, financial, and moral costs, while contrasting this with the benefits of engaging in constructive activities like reading and building relationships. Judy emphasizes not only abstaining from harmful habits but also cultivating a life enriched by positive, enriching experiences as a way to improve both oneself and the community.
