DANGER IN THE DANCE.



Is there any danger in dancing?
Ii almost every community there
has been waged a fierce war of words
as to the propriety of the dance.
Factions have been formed, churches
have been divided, friendships have
been broken, all because of the bitter
ness engendered in the discussion OF
this burning question.

Beauty is made or marred by the blood.
When the blood is impure, the cheeks

its luster. When the blood flows through

that 1t is genuine beautifer BY puri-
