Moral Effect of Recreations.

The moral influence of dancing and
the theater upon the poor is, on the
whole, not bad. 1t is true that balls,
to which young people are allowed to go
or insist on going without being allow
ed, too often result in the worst posi-
BILE way. But in the majority of cases
the bad influence of the ball is in the
demands it makes upon physical vital-
ty, says the New York Tribune. Work
ing men and women who dance until 1
or o'clock in the morning cannot lie
in bed until II o'clock the next day.
They must be at work at or o'clock,
and that probably causes bad temper.
The th&ater is far from being what it
might be and ought to be, a great NOR
al tea cher,a well as means of healthy
amusement However, leaving out of the
question the vulgar and insufferably
stupid performances of the low grad de
vaudeville theaters. the SO-called 1egiti-
mate drama among the poor is not bad
from the point of view of morals, al
though it often is from the point of view
of art. One sees fewer problem plays
in the theaters frequented by the poorer
people than in the high grade theaters
patronized by the wealthy class And
it happens absolutely without exception
among all nationalities and in all places
that virtue on the stage is applauded 10
the echo. and villainly and vice are hiss
ed with extreme disapprobation. If
this indicates anything it indicates that
the moral ideals of the humber people,
crude though they be, are yet sound at
the core.

A Brave Preacher.

ASKS WOMEN TO REMOVE HATS.
A popular preacher, whose church is
at a fashionable seaside resort, recently
made a somewhat remarkable request
to the women of his congregation from
the pulpit. He boldly asked them to
make a practice of taking off their hats
at sern on time, says the London Elk
press.
MY church." he explained sis not
built like theater: Now, if the ladies,
in all kindness and good manners. re-
move their hats during the perform
ance of play at a theater, where the
seats are gradually raised one above
the other, am sure my hearers can
have no reasonable objection to doing
the same here.
1T is primarily a question of good
manners. 1t is very annoying to be
big little hat to see the preacher.
Besides, you know that many peoples
eyes seem to assist their ears-that is
to say, they think they cam hear bet
ter if they can see.
People want to see the minister
when he is preaching; and to have to
dodge about interferes with the proper
understanding of the sermon; while for
the preacher to see a lodging congre-
cation has a distinct effect his de-
livery of a sermon.
ct also want the women to have their
hats off in order that they may be
quite at ease. Moreover, it is said that
nearly every woman looks best with
her hat off
ITO be sure, people like to look their
best, which is quite proper; but 1T all
comes back to the matter of the great
est good to the greatest nun Der.
Il have been told that ladies can put
on their hats with much celebrity and
satisfaction without a looking glass, as
they instinctively know when they are
on right.
For my part, I shall rejoice to Wow
a hatless congregation, and I am sure
it will not hurt the flower garden to
be out of view for a half-hour in the
cause of Chris tianity.'
Now that the ice has been broken
other clergymen might air their views.
