"Have you been to supper?"

Pretty soon he said to me:
THE ordinary dancing room has beer
engaged by the dancing club for Their
frappe and shall have to ask you tc
eat in your room. If there are extra
charges 1t will be on the house."
So went up to my room and the,
sent my dinner up and 1 ate it. Their

to Mr.. Willard:

"Can the guests of the hotel go In
and look on?" wanted to Il see" in
stead Of "hear say"
So went in. There We're about
sixty couples and the women were
beautifully dressed from their feet ur

IF I had gone around to church or
Sunday morning, I would probably
have found a whole lot of them in the
choir, and could have heard them say

Dance With Your Wife.
But you say:
Look here, Mr.. Sunday, can't a
man dance with his wife?"
Dance with who?
His wife?
You old lobster! You don't want to
dance with your wife. 1t is some
other fellows wife. You had just as
soon go out and split wood all night by
moonlight as to dance with your own
wife.
I believe that the dance is founded
on sexual preference and believe that
passion makes the dance popular. You
say that you don't believe it! You
women dance by themselves, and you
will kill the dance.
To Kill the Dance.
You know that you don't care for
the dance; 1t is the hug, and the
opposite sex.
A man drinks without women, and
You gamble without women, but you
make men and women dance alone
and you will kill the dance and you
know 1t.
Say, if you dance because you like
to dance you can dance with some old
lobster just as we'll as with a woman
The German and other round dances
are favorites, and the liberties taken
would not be tolerated anywhere else
in the world.

Reasons Against Dancing.
A young lady was asked to give rea-
sons for not dancing, and she gave
these:
The dance would lead me into
crowded ball rooms, and late hours
health.
The dance would lead me into
close contact with pernicious COM
pany.
The dance would require me to
permit freedom with the other sex,
of which l would be ashamed.
Ministers and good people in
general are against the dance, and
think 1t is not safe to set myself
against them.
The dance has a bad name.
",The dance IS usually accompanied
with drinking.
IT am told that the da.4.e is a
temptation and :. snare to yong men
and the dance units the mind for SER
ious reflection and prayer.
There is plsnty of helpful exer-
else in which we may indulge and
things which may be done to the
glory of God, and i think that the
dance would be an insult to God, and
l don't propose to do anything that
would insult the Lord"
No wonder that the world is not
being brought to Jesus Christ.
