Looking into the future. see grander review

II nears the New Jerusalem, the capitol OF the

grand climax is reached when God himself rises

enjoyed by every child OF God.

The Dance in Toronto.

The Canadian religious press is not q
little exercised with regard to the case
OF Rev. William McDonagh. of Toronto,
Canada. Presbyterian divine who has
been preaching to bis congregation on
the subject of dancing in such an outrs-
geous fashion that the elders of the
church have thought it their duty to
bring him to trial on charge of ''inde.
cent and shameless conduct" Some
strongly approve parson McDonsgh's s
sentiments respecting dancing. and
others. who do not approve of dancing,
declare it to be in their opinion much
better than such preaching. The scene
In the church during the delivery of
some passages of this discourse is re.
ported as most remarkable At the dec.
laration that there were some woman in
Toronto who danced in their '.birth-dsy
attire, there WAS great commotion aud
cries Of Shame! Shame" When the
pastor advised his parishioners who had
dancing parties at their houses and
wished them popular to "have the wo-
mems dresses begin later and leave of
sooner" the excitement increased fear
fully. aud several cried. "Put him out!'
In response to the assertion Of the
pastor that the "libertine and lustful
Christians of Toronto" got their dances
from hell, by way of Paris, New York
and Chicago" voice cried out, mo,
sir; we import direct from headquarters
and save the middle men; we are Gran.
gers. we are" And upon his describ.
ing minutely the seducer's wiles, an ex-
cited young man cried out, lyon know
how it is yourself" home-thrust which
was loudly cheered.
