ordor of socistY, because we frequently
read Of men becoming intoxicated NJ u
regular dancing party and committing
murder. Some young men will attend
Il dancing party, will drink to drive OH
embarrassment, or for some other
reason, and after dancing half the.
niqht wiI! make the balance Of the
njght hilcoua With riotous conduct,
Int VIC think "P." answers all Of
his array Of arguments when he admits
that "an i~nordinatc love Of dancing
like an inordinate love Of alcoholic
drinks, or any other species Of dissipa
dion or fashionable amusement, Is no
evidence Of o growth Of grace" Now
we agree in this precisely; but we
maintain that young people, in the en-
loymcnt Of good health and vigorous
if they dance regularly, VIII
soon be possessed Of that inordinatr
desire witch "P." admits may moke
sbivwrcck of their faith. This, then,
is the only difference between u.s.
oP." thinks the church members may
make q r~cguiar business Of dancing
without becoming Unfortunately fond OF
il. We think not, How would it
look to open u prayer.mcctiDg with a
dance? Who ever heard of any rcli'
aious emotions being manifested
among an assemblage Of dancers in
modern times, in our own day and
generatlonf ,
"But there is q time for all Mings,'
saws "P." Well, if we take this lit
orally, it toloratcs oil the crimes in thu
calendar.
But we have other serious objection
to dancing. If we have read the pre-
cepts Of Christ and his EVangeIiS,s t.
any purpose, they teach that N orde
to become u christian the subject mus
mediate with all due solemnity on TIL
condition OF his soul aud the grea
, truths presented in the New Tesla
ment. Now, can it be possible for
man or woman to acquire that seriou
mcdilauye mood in a ball room! W
think the idea perfectly absurd. Th
CAV notes Of the violin, or the qaicl
sharp notes Of the piano, Danish ev
cry emotion of seriousness, and substi
ute one Of excessive levity, pride an
vainglorious cgotism. Hence we con
ciuGG that, judging the tree by it
fruits, and the faith by the works, W
still adhere to our first position.
But there is no intolerance in this
/, People may still carry their religion i
their heels "a light and airy kind,)
they like. We are no Pope to iuIm.
nate our bull to nj vassals. No
And if all the editors in christendor
were TO unite in the assertion tina
dancing is not a proper exercise TO
protesscd christians, it would not pre-
vent those who believe otherwise fror
enjoying their own notions and frecl
acting them out.
Yours truly, j. N. Nc.
