PRELATE SEES NO
WRONG IN DANCES
Bishop O'Connell Will Not Pro-
hibit Dancing Among People
of This Diocese,

Believing that Virginians have too
much self-respect to indulge in i'm
modest or indecent dances, Bishop
Denis j. OConnell viii place no ban
upon dancing among the Catholics of
this diocese. This decision was given
yesterday in an interview in Baltimore.
in approaching the subject OF tangos
and other modern dances, the bishop
said:
"Chivalry is far from being dead in
virginia and in all the rest Of the
South, and while it lives and fourishes
] shall not feel called upon to condemn
the dances of the people of Virginia,
nor to place ban upon dancing among
the Catholics of the Diocese of Rich
mond. Virginians do not Indulge in
dances that are immodest or indecent
Neither do they indulge in dances that
are productive of immodesty or indie
cency The men there have too whole
some respect for the dignity OF
womanhood. and the women are too
jealous Of their high estate to permit
the .self-respect in either sex to be
trailed in the dust of sensual dances"
Bishop OConnell is in Baltimore to
attend the presentation OF the $780, 700
Sift OF the knights of Columbus to
tho endowment fund of the Catholic
University OF that city. He is the
guest nf Cardinal Gibbons, at whose
residence he was interviewed.

Paragraph Pulpit
Unity of Religion.

Religion has many expressions. but
religion Is one. II Is the cndeavor OF
the soul TO experience n consciousness
OF God. This endeavor has taken many
forms. By sacrifices, by mystic rites,
By temple ceremonies, by prayers, by
idol worship-in various ways men
have given expression TO the desire
which is innate in the human breast
But whether by the one or the other,
whether the prayers were addressed to
Zeus, Varuna, Jehovah or God, all have
been feeling after Him II haply they
might find Him. And all have in some
measure found Him, for He Is not far
from any OF us. and hath not left Him
self without witnesses among any peo-
pie. Religion. therefore. Is larger
word than Christianity. - Unitarian
