The society event of the season was

was beautifully decorated, fans being

Chinese lanterns were pleasingly
strung across the hall. Cosv corners,
couches and rockers were so arranged
as to give the place more the appear
ance of a drawing room and quite
completely robbed the hall of its other
wise bare and lonely appearance. In
one corner of the room was a table
tastefully decorated with smilax and
pink carnations, from which 'frappe. ;
lemonade and cake were served. AS
the guests arrived each one was pre-
sented with a pink carnation.
At ten O'Clock the strains of Hirzv' S
orchestra were responded to by nearly
one hundred couples who formed on
for the grand march, led by Mrs. .. T.
Hougen and Ernest Oberbeck. The
ladies were conspicuous upon this
occasion for their beautiful attire and
variety ofcoStume. Never before was
Centralia and Grand Rapids society
better represented The music by the
orchestra, which is always good, was
especially fine upon this evening.
Dancing was INDUCED in until three
a. M, when all departed for their
homes, proclaiming this one of the
most enjoyable parties ever given.

oyal and faithful children of the holy

loyal and faithful children of the holy
church"
To show the position of the Protest
ant Episcopal church, the speaker read
as evidence the baptismal VOW assumed
by every member when he or she
enters the church. From this he
concluded that the members of that
church cannot indulge in the dance
without violating their baptismal
obligation assumed, either by them or
by their sponsors for them. He also
quoted as follows from Bishop Coke of
the same church Of western New
York: THE gross and debasing waltz
would not be tolerated for another
year, if christian mothers in our COM
munion would only set their faces
against it.and remove our daughters
from its cOntaminatiOns, and their
sons from that contempt of woman
hood and womanly mOdesty which it
begetS. Alas. that women protesting
to follow Christ and godlinesS should
not rally for the honor of their sex
and drive these shameless dances from
society,""
Mr.. NimitS then went on to show
the position taken by leading men of
the Congre gati0nal church. He read
a personal letter from Rev. DR.. A. r.
Thain of Chicago, editor of the
advance" the leading paper of that
church in the West. DR.. Thain
stated that while each local church
was practically independent and self
governing, the purpose of the church
as a whole, was to discourage such
amuSements. He said that in his
opinion the influence Of such amuse-
ments as dancing and card playing was
injurious to the church and leSSened
the spirituality of the members. He
furt hermOre stated that if we follow
Christ closely in spirit and life. we
have neither time nor taste for such
amuSements, as we have something
better to fill our hearts and lives.
The speaker also quoted from book
by Rev. DR.. Brand of Oberlin, Ohio.
In this were found some of the strong
est articles we have heard cOndemna-
tory of the dance because of its intlu-
ence on the individual and social life.
DR.. Brand stated in his work that he
had correSponded with more than one
hundred leading pastors and with
scarcely an exception they confirm his
statements. Mr.. NimitS quoted from
other church authorities to the same
effect. The whole address was con-
elusive evidence that the various
christian churches were in accord in
principle. at least, on this question.
So much interest has been aroused by
the sermon that Mr. NimitS has been
asked to continue the discussion. He
will preach on next Sunday evening
February Is, on the following subject:
"Some Benefits and Evils of the
Dance"
He will reply to some criticism of
the former address, and will endeavor
to give some information that will, at
least, furnish food for thought. A
general invitation is extended to the
public to be present.

We submit to the careful considera-
tion of those of our people who are
endeavOring to create sectional strife
in this city, the joint action of the
peoples of Centralia and Grand Rapids.
After having livod separately, so to
speak, since their birth, the two
cities. Centralia and Grand Rapids.
have been consolidated. The steps of
consolidation are about completed
and henceforth where there were two
small cities there will be one import
ant city. The people of Centralia and
Grand Rapids have set an example in
harmony that should be valuable
lesson to Merrill people.
Note. The question of cOnsolida-
tion or no consolidation will be settled
by vote in the municipalities of
Centralia and Grand Rapids on the
18th day of March next. The Advo-
cate doubtless wrote the above
paragraph under information some
what premature, but that paper
nevertheless struck keynote of sound
sense, honestly intended and worthy of
repetition. 1t is sincerely hoped that
the union intimated by the Advocate
will become fact when the ballots of
the special March election are counted,

THE CHURCH AND THE DANCE.
An Interesting Subject Discussed at the
Methodist Church Sunday Evening,

An interesting Subject Discussed at the
Methodist Church Sunday Evening,
The NJ. E. church was crowded from
pulpit tOdOorS on last Sunday evening,
by an audience assembled to hear the
Rev. f. A. NimitS talk on the above
subject. The speaker said he had no
apology to make for the position of
the Nj. E. church on the question of
the dance. Her best vindication is her
marvellous record in the past. While
the youngest Of the larger denomina-
tiOnS, it is by far the largest Protest
ant organization, with membership
in its various bodies of more than five
millions and more than twenty-five
millions of adherentS. But to correct
some misconceptions that have
existed in some minds. he wishes to
show that in theory, at least, other
lef ding churches agreed with her in
her position on the dance question.
To show the position of the Catholic
church he read from letter written
by Bishop MeSSmer of this diocese in
which the bishop among other things
said as follows: 1T shows serious
lack of true Catholic spirit when a
dancing party is to be the crowning of
a state convention. no matter of what
Catholic organization, while bishops.
priests and the best men of the laity
are striving to raise our Catholic peo-
pie to higher and loftier plane in the
pursuit of Catholic ideals. and the
showing forth of the Christian vir-
tues"
Afterdemanding of the two Forester
societies, who were responsible for the
dance, a public disapproval of their
act under penalty of being refused
recognition as a Catholic society the
good bishop goes on to say: From
the unfortunate occurrence | hope
Catholics Will learn again that they
cannot at the same time serve the
world and its pleasures and still be

Oscar Bandeiin on Debate of Transvaa
Difficulty at HamIne University.

Oittlculty at Hamlne University.
Six young men We'd with each other
at Hamline university, near ST. Paul,
last week, in earnest controversy as to
the legal and moral business of Great
Britain's policy in South Africa. Two
college literary societies were repre-
sented in annual forensic contest,
PhilOmathea standing for the Beers
and Phi Alpha for England; The
subject Of debate was "ReSolved. That
England's Attitude Towards the
TranSvaal is an Instance of Unwar-
ranted Aggression"
The closing speaker on the atfirma-
tive or Boer side of the debate was
Oscar Bandelin of Centralia, now
student at Hamline. Those of us
who know Oscar best and have seen
his untiring efforts for success at
whatever he undertakes to do, will
not be surprised to learn that his
society won the unanimous decision
of the judges. The st. Paul Globe
devoted two columns in mention of
this debate. from which paper we take
he following:
oscar J. Bandelin, the last speaker
for the affirmative. maintained that.
compared with British Columbia, the
diamond mines of South Africa were
taxed about 25 per cent less. He could
not see how any fair-minded man could
claim that England was fighting for
full rights of elective franchise and a
just cause, when such right was denied

The Beers had been robbed of their
heritage by grasping Britain. France
and Austria require ten and fifteen
years residence before extending the
privilege of citizenship: and it was
within the province of the burghers
to place the limit where they chose"
President George H. Bridgman pre-
sided and announced the speakers.
The judges were: Judge O. B. Lewis,
Prof. R. Watson Cooper and Prof.
George S. InniS.
The unanimous decision in favor of
the affirmative speakers met with a
demonstratiye approval of a large
audience that assembled in the college
chapel.
