LOOKING OVER THE SITUATION.
DEAR COMRADES: When we begin asking II
there Is any harm in certain things we impI that
we are In doubt, and when come to doubt II
usually follows that we have not done without
q good reason.
There many things about which we de-
pend upon another's decision. when we ought TO
decide for ourselves. Aud when we come TO grief
prone shift the responsibility upon the
shoulders Of our mistaken adviser.
Some one asks. Is there harm In dsncing7"
Another says. Yes, for my church forbids it,"
my church does not prohibit it," Then a moral.
list chimes In, II know nothing about church laws
but disapprove Of dancing, from a moral stand
point"
Again we hear. II believe dancing tends TO
lower ones moral tone. for have been there, aud
i speak from experience" Only once have we
ever heard the argument turned in favor OF the
mental and moral elevation that results from the
dance.
suppose our church does not probibi. dancing.
Then, as far as the church is concerned, we may
dance when we please.
But we will go further. IL our church laws are
lax. what OF our individual judgment7 ITO the
pure all thlnge are pure" we say, but that is no
argument We prove ourselves most blind when
we say that because we are good-ihat is, not evil
we cannot comprehend the evil that we daily
meet. Many OF US have read those lines of Byron,
the hayward, the world stated:
What! the girl adore by another embracedf
What the arm of another encircle her waisti
Sir Waiizer. you've brushed from the grape the

But suppose. after weighing the pros and cons
we decide That there is harm in the dance, where
is the good?
Il dance" one OF our Club answers, "and feel
that am better for IL. The music, lights and
flowers are elevsIing elements"
And then some else, pondeEing these words
goes of by himself and sits down in a corner and
thinks, aud thinks. and thinks and he cannot, TO
his iife where the point of intellectually
comes In. He finally decides that his standard of
intelligence is widely different and further to
reach, aud. like Lenore Rivers, "he wants his hat"
