Dancing.

Dr. Eadic one OF the best Biblical schol.
ars OF his age says in his Cyclopedia
From a collection OF all the passages in
Scripture IN reference to dancing il may bo
inferred
!. That dancing was religious act, both
in true and idol worship.
.. That it was praciiced exclusively on
joyful occasions. such as national festivals
or great victories.
j. That u was performed on such ocea-
siOns only by one Of the sexes.
g. That il was performed usually in tho
daytime. in the oper air. il highways, fields
nd groves
.. That men who perverted dancing from
a sacred use To purpose oi amusement wero
deemed infamous.
g. That no instances Of dancing are found
upon record in the Bible in which the two
sexes united 10 the exercise, either as an
act Of worship or amusement.
Lastly. That there is no instance upon
record in the Bible Of social dancing for
amusement. except that Of the vain fell
lows" void of shame alluded to by Michael;
OF the religio US families described by Job.
which produced increased mTGeiy and en-
ded in destruction. aud Of llerodias. which
terminated in the rash vow Of Herod and
the murder OF John the Baptist.
