The decision of the Atlanta Presbytery,
which lately metin Lawrenceyille, Georgia,
adverse to the appeal of Mr.. Block, has put
tho seal of condemnation, 80 far as lae nu,
thority of that ecclesiastical forum goos, upon
dancing, in its most innocent form aud undor.
that there is no slime to dance"
The cHse arose in this way: Some months
ago, Mr.. Frank E Block, deacon In tho
Central Presbyterian Church, of Atlanta,
gave party to his friends in honor of his
mother and sister, who wore visiting his
family at the time, and who woro on tho
point Of lowing for thoir homo in tho West
There wero invited in all about thirtysfive
guests, consisting of several elderly people-
friends and neigbbors Of the family-and the
rest young people, who had called on Miss
Block during hes, visit to Atlanta.
The evenipg was spent, as is tho CUSTOM
with tho gentry class, in social enjoyment.
the principal feature of which was dancing
the round dances wcre not genornlly danced,
only two couples participating in them.
In duo course of timo Block was cited to
appear before tho session Of tho Central presc
byterian Church to answer tho charge Of
violating tho laws Of the church. in reference
to worldly amusoments. A trial before. the
church session was the result Of this charge.
Tho result of the trial was tho sns-
pension Of the deacon from tho fellowship,
etc., of the church till no should repent, by i
vote Of four to three. Ftom the decision,
sentence and suspension. Block appeals to the
Atlanta Prcsbytory Of which said church
sfss session was a portion The aproal was do
eidod against MIR. Block, by q vote of l8 to 8.
Mr.. Block will appeal to tho Synod, which
mcets in Atlanta next November, whcro he
expects more fagorablo decision.
This caso is exciting great interest in our
sister State.
