IPashinOlOH POd,
II never knew dancing Christian
that amounted to a row Of pig tracks in
working for Christ" said the Rev. NJ. @,
Hawks at the Detroit ministers meeting
the other day, Possibly the reverend
gentleman's acquaintance is limited. OF
course 1t Is not fair to 90 back and show
that during the days Of the patriarohs
dancing was q part OF the religious Cere-
mony, and priests and people danced, Rs
they now sing, for the glory OF God.
This would not be fair because those
people were not Christians, aud diane.
Ing Christians" is the phrase our rever.
end brother uses. Nor would 1t be fair
to quote sCaliger, who says that the first
Latin bishops were called prpsules be-
cause they led the solemn dances In the
great festivals, for they were, perhaps,
not Christians, according to Mr.. Hawks
definition.
Presumably, too, 1t would be taking an
undue advantage TO quote Claude Memo
strier, who wrote late in the Seventeenth
century, telling how he had seen the
Canons and choristers on Whit Sunday
take each other by the hand and dance,
while they sang hyms OF jubilation, and
surely 1t would be too bad TO show that
the choir in Mr.. Hawks church 10 the
offspring OF o body OF dancers, and that
the very word "choir" comes from q
Greek word which means band Of
dancers and singers. But II does seem
that our esteemed Detroit brother ought
to know that in England not very long
ago, at time when according to the most
ecclesiastical authorities, the people
were very conscientious and devoted
Christians, II was the common practice
for the congregation 10 be "played out
OF church by fiddle, to form a dance In
the churchyard at the conclusion Of the
sermon"
1t occurs to US that possibly the Rev.
Mr.. Hawks, ON second thought, would
change the form Of hisexpression. Now,
II he had said he never knew a iribbling
creature OF any kind that amounted 10 q
row Of pig cracks In working for any Sc
rious objeet, nobody would have Thought
OF disputing 1t. ltisn't the dancing that
makes people useless 1t Is the tritling
nature Of the people. We have known
as good Christians US Mr.. Hawks ever
thought OF being who could and did
dance like sixty and got good, pure,
wholesome enjoyment out OF 1t. Long

Chico Chronicle Record.
In an English country church the
curate had to give out two notices, the
first OF which was about baptisms and
the latter had 10 do with new hymn
book. Owing 10 an accident he inverted
the order and gave out as follows: ~
am requested 70 announce that the new
hymn book will be used for the first
time in this church Sunday next; and !
am requested to call attention 10 the de.
lay which often takes place In bringing
children 10 be baptized; they should be
brought on the earliest day possible.
This Is particularly pressed on mothers
who have young babies; and for the in.

and who, being deaf, had not heard
what had been previously said-"and,

none, I may state, II wished, thoy can

Immediately after service to-day. Limp

other subjects and the Congressman get

OF the new Administration. Besides
this, the organization should DO effected
as early as possible, rs It Is Of great i'm.
portance TO the Republican party. This,
however, is more likely 10 prevent an
extra session than to bring one about.
Two seats that the Democratic Governor
OF West Virginia stole outright for his
party cut down the Republican majority
10 three. With SO narrow margin
the Democratic minority could break a
quorum every day from October to No

West, arc in such bad health that It Is
doubtful II they will ever again take
their seats In the House. Neither Is
likely 10 resign in order that successor
