PRAYED FOR THE DANCERS
When the Exhortation Was Over the
Pleasure Was Resumed.

A platform dance was given last
Thursday night by Grant Foster, at
his place a few miles southeast of Man
chester, which was attended by a large
number of young folks from the sur
rounding country, says the Manchester
News. During the early part of the
evening, while the dancers were hoe
ing it down" in good shape, the fun
was interrupted by a couple of mis-
sionaries, who requested a hearing. The
new arrivals were Mr. and Mrs. elf
ford Cress, recently chosen by the
River Brethren as foreign missionaries.
They expect to leave soon for Africa,
but before doing so they thought to do
a little missionary work in their own
community. The good brother stepped
upon the platform and took in the spec
tacle of his worldly brothers and sis
tiers having fun with themselves. He
held up his hands in holy horror and
began to exhort, and the gist of his ex-
hortation was that all the dancers and
spectators were doomed to everlasting
punishment Mrs. Cress then made
few remarks, entreating the skylarking
young men and maidens to beware of
the wrath that was sure to overtake
them. A hymn was then sung, and Mr..
Cress offered a fervent prayer for the
souls of the wicked in general and the
dancers in particular.
The missionaries were listened to with
respectful attention, but they had hard
ly left the platform when the music
again struck up and the dancing was
resumed
