"A great manypastors worry themselves
over the "wickedness of dancing" A
Methodist preacher in Cleveland a few
Sabbaths ago preached against it, and
here are SOME specimens ofthe sermon
as reported in the LEADER of that city:
The speaker characterized the practice
OF some churches saying 10 people whom
they wish to getinto the church, that
"our church allows dancing" as wrong
throughout. Bishop Hopkins says =
Nothing can make. dancing consistent
with the Christian covenant ;" that the
foundation OF much domestic ipfelicity is
founded when children are allowed the
privileges of the waltz, and the caper-
ings of the ballroom are death to the sol
emn teachings of the church. A promi-
nent police officer once said: Three
fourths of all the abandoned women in
the city were ruined by the Dance" and
an officer in the army said: eff l should
see anyone Waiting with my wife, in
any such manner, l would horsewhip
him on the spot" A prominent writer
says: 81 was once called to the death
bed of a young mother, beautiful in form
and feature. When 1 asked her if she
wished me to pray for her, she said mo!
it is no use, l am lost beyond redemp-
tion.' The cause was, she was sent to
dancing school at an early period of life,
just 1T the same time she was beginning
to be impressed with religious teachings,
and instead of being saved, she danced
her soul away.
This is sad trash. 1t is really unwor-
thy of comment; and yet a considerable
body of people seem to consider such
talk peculiarly religious" These BIZ
gots would deprive society of all plea
sures. The opera is wicked )" the dra-
ma is "wicked;" novels are wicked; p
dancing is "wicked"-pretty much eve
rything is wicked except going to church,
listening to much of their twaddle and
paying forit. We should rather exclaim
the "w~ickedness of such stupid narrow
nessI" If our pastors lave not common
sense enough to get out of this slough
their congregations should help them
l but alas, we suspect that the trouble i
. too often outside of the pulpit-dowl
among the pews, every church contain
an extreme element thatl looks upon ever,
i thing that is pleasant, cheerful and beau
tiful as worldly" and that is the mos
perfectly awfully dreadful term that cal
be applied to any sinner. They seem t
e think that only gloom and ugliness ar
pleasing to God. We are convinced tina
e this element constitutes a minority i
every church; but for all that it is tn
ruling element. Few pastors have tn
O backbone to resist it. We never coul
s understand why church pastors an
church members should not cling q
closely to common sense as ordinary pee
s pie. They certainly do not. When W
is hear Of a lot of pastors getting togethe
to solemnly discuss the "~wickedness
is dancing we rub our eyes and wonder
d we really live in the nineteenth centur,
The discussion evidences very plainl

Richard Anthony Proctor, the astrono
