Free Time Occupation of early Christians

Instead of consuming their leisure hours in vacant idleness,
or deriving their chief amusement from boisterous merriment,
the recital of tales of superstition,
or the chanting of the profane songs of the heathen,
they passed their hours of repose in rational and enlivening pursuits;
found pleasure in enlarging their religious knowledge,
and entertainment in songs that were dedicated to the praise of God.

- James Alexander, Family Worship
