Vigorous Sermon Delivered by Rev.
Hugh Davis on the Dancing Evil.
lie Dcnouuccs II ROundiy.

Rev. Hugh Davis, pastor of the Welsh
Calvinistic Methodist church on south
Main avenue, preached another IN
vectiVe against the dancing eVil' at
the evening service last night. The
warm weather kept away many who
were interested in the announcement OF
the sermon. Nevertheless there was
large number of young people present.
Mr.. Davis sermon was in the form of
a well-drawn argument. He took his
text from Exodus, XNii:26 After refer
ring to the worshiping of idols and the
words of Moses in announcement of the
custom the speaker came down to the
present time and attempted to show
that dancing was similar to idol obeis-
ence. inasmuch as it places its votaries
between God and the rightful worship
of His name. Theatres, intemperance,
and other forms of amusement came
under Mr.. Davis law.
America is full of idols" said the
venerable speaker, "a few years ago
things We're not as they now are. Now
the land Is a race course to wealth ana
avarice." In mentioning dancing he
used the following terms to denounce
It: '.licentious" "a school of iniquity,
1t belongs to the devil" lit shows its
pressure on weak physical frames ana
undermines the nervous system, 1T Is
a fatal rock on which thousands are
dashed every year" In closing he ad-
vised young people not to injure them
selves. There is a distinct division
between lawful and unlawful pleasure,
said the speaker. Dancing appeals to
the lower passions of our nature: next
to the saloon 1t destroys more domestic
felicity than any other evil. As far as
the. statistics of our larger cities go the
abandoned women are outputs from
dance halls. Conscience is hardened by
1t in an attempt to harmonize the ptac-
tice with Christian profession The
speaker closed by urging fathers and
mothers to watch over their daughters,

From the Buffalo Express.
A mild-looking man with gold-bowed
spectacles got on car the other morn
ing. He had Morning Express in his
hand He took off his glasses and
wiped them, as all spectacled men have
to do when going from a cold to warm
er atmosphere, and was just taking his
paper out to read. when a man who
was sitting near him reached over and
said:
LEND me that newspaper, will you?"
The mild-looking man appeared sur
prised. Evidently he did not know the
would-be borrower. and was a little
taken aback by his nerve. He was
equal to the occasion, however.
Il was going to read it myself" he
said, but as you seem to need to read
newspapers more than l do, III lend it
to you"
The borrower took 1t without even
saying THANK you" The spectacled
man leaned back with an expression of
amused disgust.
Say" he said. would you like TO
have that paper sent to you regularly?
If you would, I'll step into the office
and pay for years subscription for
you"
why, you are very kind" said the
other. II usually borrow it, but /!
would not object to having 1t given to
me-"
Il thought not" said the spectacled
man. by the way. have you any
tickets for the theater tonight?"
NO" was the reply. II seldom go
to theaters.'
Il was sure of 1t. I'll step in and buy
a couple Of orchestra seats for you If
you like"
why. I'm sure
"Oh. don't mention 1t. And while I
think Of 1t, can't | order a couple Of
tons of coal for your"
Exactly. Your grocery bill is un-
paid, too. isn't It? I'll go around and
settle it for you tonight"
II really don't understand, sir"
mo, OF course you don't. But won't
you accompany me to the tailors and
let me buy YOU new suit Of clothes?'
BY this time the sponger began to
see the drift Of the conversation.
