In Hi, Name.
'ENJ. BLOSSOM.

Dancing and card-playing I'm His
Name do seem to be inconsistent, to say
the least. and several questions arise in
our minds in regard to it.
Who are Christians? You will answer
at once. we are all Christians in this Chris
tian land of ours. True we are, but who
are Christ's followers; and how are we to
tell the difference between those who know
and fear the Lord, and those who do not?
True, there is nothing in our constitution
which prohibits dancing, but do we feel
like wearing our little silver cross in the
ball room? True, we are responsible to
the King alore for our conduct. Do you
not think, dear sister, that He will ask US
to give an account for the way in which
We spend our time? Can our thoughts be
of Him and the work He wishes US to do.
in these doubtful places of amusement as
we'll as at the prayer meeting?
Some will say, "what feel is right for
me to do, is right" and so it may be, if
that were all, but what of the influence
which you have upon those with whom
you associate? for the Bible tells US that
"none of US liveth to himself" We know
this to be true, when we see about Us day
by day the effects of influence.
We are sorry indeed that church mem
bers OF all denominations in city and town,
are taking up these amusements. We
think there must be some trouble with the
churches. We do not want to be behind
the times, but we do want to follow the
teachings Of Christ.
How much praying, talking and work
ing is done for the King, at ball, won
der? 1t 10 said, 1.-THE Americans are ner-

vous. over-worked race, and they need to
dance for healthful amusement" There
is not doubt but large majority of us
are overworked. and consequently ner-
vous. Now as to getting the needed rest
In a crowded over-heated hall, aud going
home in the small hours, we should think
would be very doubtful indeed. do not
think that the Sons and Daughters of the
King should hold these amusements up as
necessary to their health.
If we are to raise standard or lend q
hand, let US ask the King about it, and
pray, I'm His Name" that we may be kept
from all appearance of evil. We are con-
stantly reminded Of the shortness of life !;
how necessary. then, that we should watch
and pray, and be prepared for eternity.
