THE SACRED BALLET.

The more the plan of Miss Agnes Booth in
regard to establishing a sacred ballet is con-
sidered, the greater appear its possibilities.
The scheme or, it would perhaps be more
proper to say, this religious work. has been
outlined in the journal, but so briefly that
much was necessarily left to the imagination.
Miss Booth, it seems, contemplates the organ
ization of an army of sisters in the good work
of saving souls, but they will not adopt the
time-worn methods Of exhortation and prayer
full appeal to sinners The young women
will fight the devil, not exactly on his
own ground-because they will not 60 into
variety theaters and saloons-but with his
drama in a mild and, of course, a religious
form. A regiment Of girls in each city will
be trained to dance in the highest style of
art, not emitting the peculiar features which
have proved so attractive to bald heads and
other frequenters of the sinful and worldly
theater. In short, these girls, who, it should
not be necessary to say must have been pre-
viously converted, will kick their pious way
into the wicked hearts of abandoned men.
This once accomplished, it is hoped and
expected by the originator of the plan, that
subsequent portrayal of holy DRAMA varied
by sacred songs, will complete the conquest,
and that the once depraved frequenters of low
dives will become humble followers of that
which is good-or at least better than that to
which they have been accustomed An or
chestra composed of scientific persons, girls
who have devoted their lives to the Savior"
will be formed simultaneously with the organ
ization of the corps de ballet 1t will thus be
seen that this ''divine work." as Miss Booth
calls her undertaking, covers considerable
ground, and possibly solves several vexed
social problems 1t provides, in the first place,
means by which our young women Of pious

LAND AHEADl

The American mind has always accounted
itself uncommonly acute in the solution of
problems, yet it is occasionally obliged to
PROSTATE itself before foreign intellects capa-
BILE of reaching higher heights and deeper
depths than it has ever accomplished. The
safest and most proper method of castigating
married women, for instance is theme with
which the most colossal minds Of the country
have grappled without success Year by year
the unwarrantable prejudice of the ignorant
against wife-whipping has extended until
this most necessary factor in the mainte-
nance of domestic harmony has become pos
tive luxury within the reach of only the most
plethoric purses. Every year, also, wives, know
ing the legal restraints under which husbands
labor, have become indescribably more rampant
and unmanageable, more disobedient and indie
pendent In this critical state of affairs, how
gratefully falls upon the masculine ear the
tidings that an English mind ever fertile in
expedients, has invented a method of re-
ducing the expensiveness of wife-whipping,
thus furthering the cause of Preside
happiness and establishing every man
on sound basis as master in
his own house. One William Bloom,
a collier of Blackrod, was arrested for beating
his wife. He bore his trial, and paid the fine
and costs with such equanimity that the
bench was moved to investigate the secret of
his philosophical demeanor. 1t was as
certained that :"Wife-beaters' Club" had
been organized among men who advocated
this style of connubial correction, and when
member was fined, the club paid the money.
The narrow-minded bench Immediately sen
fenced Blooming Billy to blush unseen at
hard labor in Jail for one month. Notwith-
standing this disastrous result, it must at once
appear to every imaginative mind that this
idea Of cooperation among husbands is sus-
highly satisfactory endings. Many, many of
the terrors of matrimony could be miitigated
in this way. Seal-skin sacques, matinee
tickets, jewelry, basket-ph@tons, and many
other little trifes which are demanded to pre-
serve woman in happy frame of mind, could,
by club assessments, be made to fall lightly
on the income of every member. Times are
indeed looking up for brow-beaten man; and
woman, terrible woman, may yet be brought,
-
least to condition of endurable placability.

zeal which so properly fires the heart of female
church members, may find an outlet for their
bubbling energies. Circumstances prevent
most of them from going among Indians or
cannibals; but if they can save souls without
permanent absence from the parental hearth
stone who shall forbidY Many, if not all, of
these young women have, perhaps,
surreptitiously and in their goddess
days, learned how to dance. If this
once worldly accomplishment can be used for
evangelizing purposes, why notg AT present
if they are strict observers of church rules
their talent rusts, or, in other words, their
heels lose their suppleness from inaction. The
preacher and the stiffened elderly deacons as
sure them that dancing is disreputable and
sinful form of amusement unless, indeed,
they choose to whirl through the giddy waltz
in company with each other, and without the
assistance of men. AS no men figure in Miss
Booths plan, the church dignitaries cannot
raise the old objection. If, then, the girls
may dance, why may they not dance before
the Lord, if by SO doing they may con-
vert hard hearts from which the words of the
ministers have hopelessly rebounded9 This
opening for women is one which should
receive due consideration from those in
authority.
Another thought, and probably the most
important, is that men who have hitherto re-
NAMED away from divine service with great
regularity will be drawn to the sanctuary
once the ballet feature is introduced There
is no doubt that such will be the result. The
minister who means and laments over vacant
pews needs go no further for a remedy than
the one proposed. No matter how tedious
and tasteless the hour" to the listeners, while
his sermon is in progress, interest will revive
when the consecrated ballet comes in and
dances to the sacred music of the scientifically
religious orchestra. When this is supple
mented by solos from the leading members of
the devout choir, clothed in robes which will
harmonic with the airy costumes of the
dancers, then will the attractions of the
church, as remodeled on the Salvation Army
plan, be complete. The conundrum "Will
the coming man go to church," can have but
one answer after the advent of the sacred
ballet.
