Educational.

The Newborry Herald has some kind words
Tor our College. Al it has spoken for US wo
recprocato with interest in behalf of Ncwberry
College, now permanently located among its
hrst founders. Wo have always advocated
TINT institution and wish it great success in
tho nobto work of educating the youth of the
country. There is no feeling Of hostility
towards it by our people, bit ono Of love and
regard. There should DO no competition bo-
tween it and our College, except that generous
rivalry in good cnuse which promotes good
feeling and success. The cause Of education
is too high and worthy to enlist opposition to
schools and colleges wherever located Every
effort to disseminate knowledge wherever
mado has our God speed, and the field Of
ignorance is so wide that there is ample work
for institutions of learning in every County of
the State. We desire to SEQ our College n
success, and we hope in tho future to hear
that Newberry College has not slackcncd in
her march to larger patronage and wider
sphere of usefulness, and that both institu.
tions may become great centcrs from which
moral and intellectual power and influence
will radiatc. Every institution of learning,
from pole to pole and from ocean to ocean,
wherever man has q name and habitation. has
our best wishes for success. We wish there
were more Of them. We wish colcSc or
high school was in reach of every family in
our State. and that every family would avail
themselves Of the hone6ts Of such institu TONS
The people would be better, the government
purer and the industrial pursuits of the cili.
zens would be directed by a more enlightened
Judgment.

DANCING.

At the close fthe morning exercises in the
Baptist Church, last Sabbath, Rev. w. w.
Sanders stated ho would lecture at night on
the subject of dancing, considering the argu.
ments for and against the practice, and whether
it should be indulged in or approved Of by
Christians. AS preliminary to tho discourse
and gcrmane to some Of the views which
would bc presented, the 7th Chapter of Proc
vorbs and tho l50th Psalm wero read. No
text was formally taken, though an appropri
atc ono was mentioned, as evil communications
corrupt good manners. The line of argument
was substantially as follows:
The subject is ono Of public interest and tho
proprioty of dancing has long agitated the
Christian mind. If dancing is right or harm
less in it's tendencies, then no ono should
oppose it; but if it DO wrong or evil in its
tendencies, then it should meot with oppose
ton. If Christians declare it to be wrong or
evilfn its tendencies, they should bo able and
willing to give their reasons for 1t, and the
people have right to know those reasons.
The usdaf arguments in favor Of dancing
arc embraced under threo lldads. The first
argument is drawn fom,tho Bible, whore it
tells us of good people 'indn1ging in it. The
Jews, the chosen psopls Of God, freqtenty
danced. II 1t wore wrong would not God
have expressly forbidden ", and yet wo' find

somo who do not approve of dancing at balls,
but see no harm in It in the priyate parlor.
1t is true in tho latter case tho company is
select and the protection greater, but .the
contact and tendency is tho same IF dancing
be wrong in public 1t is wrong in private.
There are others who contend it is no harm
to attend balls and dancing parties, if they
do not dance themselves. If dancing be
wrong and evil in its tendency, then 1T is
wrong to encourage it by your presence and
apparent appreciation. 1t would be poor
defence from wrong for person who had
furnished II room and whiskey and cards for
a regular carousal to claim he did not par
ticipate in it. There arc others who claim
it is better and less sinful to danco than to
engage in silly conversation or foolish plays.
This defence of dancing is based on the falso
idea that it is necessary to do one or the other,
whom in reality tho party should do neither.
murder, but both boing wrong and neither
being necessary, it is better to do neither.
The great question is. is dancing wrong or
evil in its tendenciee2 Is it clear positive
ovil2 Or is it suspiciously evil in its tendon
cicsS Can you answer all these questions
negatively from your consciencc7 If you
cannot, then you should not oountonance nor
practice it. Tho Biblo docs not in words
condemn it. but in the great rulo of Christian
conduct It denounces whatever tcnds to evil
or to worldly mindedness. In fact. the dancing
of to day WINS unknown in tho days Of tho
prophets and apostles, and honco it could not
DO specifically condemned. But it falls under
tho general condemnation of texts rs "Bo ye
not worldly minded" &c. "bo ye not oon-
formed to this world" &C.; "ye should avoid
all appearance Of evil" 60.
We only pretend to give tho leading ideas
OF tho discourse rs gathered from hearing it.
