liza" says about the Hartford HER.yI.D
in the issue of the llth instant. The
people of Ohio county, land / must
put the people of Mclean county with
them, can not afford TO be without the
HERALD. But many of the readers of
the HERALD would like for our friend
liza" to give us little explanation of
the scripture published by her request,
and over her signature. And, by way
of getting at what we want, 1 will just
ask few questions about il. Do YOU
think, friend ''lza,r that the scripture
referred to, represents dancing as detri-
mental To the moral interests of those
who engage in il? Do you understand
it To characterize dancing as being ire
ligiOus in its tendency? or as demOraIiz-
ing? The scripture given, after stating
the delight produced by this practice,
concludes with, Therefore they say
unto God, depart from us for We desire
not the knowledge of thy ways" dc.
Now, this seems to teach that the effect
of dancing is to cause those whOengage
in il to trust i'm God, with his miseries
and blessings, from them. But, friend,
liza" is there not another and different
way to explain this scripture? Again,
this scripture represents dancers as ask
ing, "What is the Almighty that we
should serve Him. Do you under
stand this as teaching that dancing pro-
NOTES intidelity? We want light. If
our friend "Iza" does not give us sat
isfactory explanation of this portion of
Divine revelation, will not some of the
good Christian people of Hartford, who
have been sending their children to
dancing school, address themselves to
the task. Ii there is any way to ex-
plain this scripture i'm harmony with
dancing; or as not condemning it let us
have it, 50 that we may feel easy about
it. AMICUs.
