els Dancing a Stint"

The Rev. n. B. Thompson, of the
Twenty.fifth Street Free Blptist
Church, in asking the question, SIS
it a sin to dancei" gave. excellent
warrant for the practice in his text
-"David danced before. the ark
with all his night He said:-No
man can lay down laws or rules,
though true as those written by an
angel specially commissioned from
the skies, which shall in every par.
ticular control those who wish to
dance, for in this matter, as in all
Others, people will do just as they
wish, OH the principle that no one
has ii right to dictate what another
shall or shall not do. The most The
preacher ore Christian teacher can
do is to point out the dangers in
- 1900
and leave, as he must, thefmattcr
with those who engage in it. If, as
a minister of Christ, I am to de-
nounce dancing, the principle act
uating me must be higher than the
possible fact that | personally can
see nc pleasure in it, or because [
fill a place in the Christian pulpit,
or because never could dauce.-
That man is unfair in argument
or reasoning who to make Il point
in defence of his own interest re.
sorts to argument which does not
not wholly and truthfully coincide
with the facts of the case.
Turning young folks against the.
church
Our churches, in some instances,
are fast becoming unfrequented by
the youug, and all because some
pulpit fogy crank, having out
grown the impulse of youth,
breaches q so called religion as wide
from the true nature of the religion
of Christ as error is from truth
When religion is made to appear
like the cutting Of laOor's pick,
burying itself deep in the natural
proclivities of youth, then the
whole economy Of God is made to
uujustly suffer. Set the church in
opposition to the natural instincts
of youth, and they will not only re-
fuse to embrace such but tuln foot
and face from the sanctuary.
Now, dancing is both religious
factor and is Biblically admissible.
1t ever has been a national feature.
If turned from its purpose and into
evil, as has sometimes been the
case, that is not the fault Of the
mere act, but Of the debased ma
ture and low impulses of those ell
gaging in it.
Biblical precedents.
Anciently it was a rite. Miriam
and the women of Israel danced
over the drowned hosts in the Red
Sea. Jephthah's daughter met him
dancing, aud the women of Israel
hailed with like terpSicLorean ex-
ercises the coming OF Saul from the
slaughter of the PhiliStines. Then
in the customs Of the people it is
spoken of. The coming home Of
the prodigal son filled the house
with merriment and dancing.
The speaker went OH to say that
there is good warrant for dancing
III itself, and dancing as an exer.
else no one CAN upbraid until it be
made the vehicle of passion Oh vie
understand me clearly" he said;
''the people will have a!nuselnents.
Then let them be OF the highest
and best possible order. Encour-
age them in the home circle, where
they will be safe from evil. Trench
around your amusements with the
safeguard OF appreciation and pr,.
dent surveillance, aud you will
make religion palatable to the
young and snatch from prudery
what we ill eau afford to yield it,"
