~Tbe Rev Henry Ward

HThe Rev. Henry Ward Bee
cher makes this sensible reply in the
Christian Union to q query as to
whether it was wicked to dance:
1T is wicked when it is wicked, and
not wicked when it Is not wicked
In itself it has no more moral char
acter than walking, wrestling, or
rowing. Bad company, untimely
hours, evil dances, may make the
exercise evil; good company. whole
some hours and home influences
may make it a very great benefit"
