You never saw in all your life per-
son who was conspicuous for her love
for the dance hail who was at the
same time conspicuous for her devo'
ton to the service Of Jesus. The two
loves dor not exist in tile same heart.
They are altogether incongruons. In
the spring or 1904 attended one of
the meetings OF the ''amusemcnt cpm-
mittee" OF the Methodist general Con
ference. In that committee were
few who were trying to uphold the
dance. One man. leading lay mem
ber rose and said "A prominent pas
tor In the east told me that the very
best and truest and most consecrated
members Of his church were those
who were attendants OF the theater
and the dance hall" What was the
reply to that speaker? An argumentl
A testimony? No All the audience
did, both III gallery and on main floor,
Yves to raise Il big guffaw OF ridicule.
The statement of that lay member
was absurd Oh the face of it. Every
one knew that what he said was con
trary to the testimony of experience.
You never In your life saw deep spir-
itual conservation for Christ and love
for the dance hall exist together in the
same human heart. The modern dance
is foe to all spiritual development
and barrier TO progress in the Chris
tan life.
On the Downward Path.
sWhy il it that the Catholic church,
which is so liberal upon many matters.
is so strict against danclng;" was the
question put by n Protestant minister
to Catholic priest some time ago.
Because" was the answer, lin the
confessional we .priests are able -
trace the source of almost every sin.
We have found out by the admission of
ruined men and women that most of
the immoralties of great city or
country town can be traced directly
to the dance hall" The dance hall Is
the beginning. not the end of the down
ward path. Some good people--aye,
many good and respectable people
dance But 1t is the place where many
good people are spiritually destroyed
or spiritually depleted. II is the place
where we have the spiritual ''slaugh-
ter of the innocents." Therefore to-
night as a Christian Waterman II Is
my duty to warn you of the danger of
entering Ii. Some there are who es-
cape as by fire, but to all the ordeal
IL fierce and perious. II Is the place
in which the enemy Of souls finds his
most numerous victims ana exercises
his most lnsidious power. You who
pray. lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil" beware of
entering the dance hall. Beau Brum-
mel was the uncrowned king of the
English dance hall. He was the Ward
McAllister of his day. But that is all
the history most people know about
Beau Brummel. ! will tell you his
end. Beau Brummel died in the insane
asylum of lie Bon Sauveur. Many
young men and women who once wore
a royal crown IN dance hall have at
last. like Beau Brummel, had 70 take
off that crown and pass not only the
end of their earthly but all Of their
eternal days In n spiritual lie Bon
Sauveur, In spiritual madhouse.

But standing in the watch tower to-
night see more Than the cleaning
lights Of the evil resorts Turing the
victims TO their fascinating but fatal
haunts | see dark shadows in the
streets where no lights are see these
dark shadows following the burglar
and the hold up" man aud the muir
derer with his pistol and knife. ! see
the dark and tightly closed houses
from which no ray Of light Is coming.
These houses look deserted. but they
are not deserted. They are outposts Of
perdition, silent. but haunted with ont
casts and gamblers and conspirators
who are fagrantly breaking the laws
of the land. | see the low dives Of
