that was harmful to the great major.
ity that indulged in these things; in
fact, there was so much harm result
ing that all good people having The
welfare of humanity should abstain
from them so that they might not be
the means by which others stumble
He quoted from high medical author
ity, as well, on the subject of dane
ing, and from vice commission re-
ports which show that seven-tenths
of the fallen women get their start
from the dance. Dances, public or
private, need two elements to cause
their continuance: sensuous music,
and sexual excitement, conscious or
unconscious. Without these two It
would not exist. Nobody cares to
dance without music; the more SEN
suous the better. Men will not dance
together; stag dance is an unknown
thing. Nine out of ten men dance
with the consciousness of sex. Wo-
men, as a rule, are the more uncon-
scious of the sex element, yet dances
for ladies only are never a conspicu-
Gus success. They sometimes dance
together that they may better per-
form with a male partner at some
other time. In the last analysis of
things sex, conscious or unconscious,
is the great element in the dance. In
the matter of theatergoing, the speak
er said that theatergoers contributed
to the moral undoing of great many
women and not few men. He quot
ed Anna Held and other famous act
resses and actors, regarding the gross
immortality of stage people. She de-
clared it was morally impossible for
any actress except perhaps star of
the first magnitude, to get by the
many temptations and hindrances
thrown in the way Of women of the
stage. Lesser lights and chorus girls
stand no change whatever, as manag~
ers scheme to use them in every way.
Hence, any one spending dollar up
on the theater contributes to moral
delinquency. No actor or actress will
advise daughter to take up the stage
life. Finally, there are only few
good and highly moral plays, and the
church has failed in the attempt to
elevate the stage. Card playing was
characterized as the least of the three
evils. Some of it seemed rather
harmless time killer. Yet gamblers
come from among the good players
Of the card clubs; the playing is not
learned at the gamblers table. In
closing, he plead for the highest
standard of living, saying that only
the standard of Jesus Christ is high
enough to be the aim of soul
fraught with the great things of life
here and hereafter.
The tabernacle meetings have been
very successful in spite of weather
and other hindrances. There were
more than one hundred conversions
during the past week, and interest in
the meetings is deepening all the
while.
