friend. you SOW the private dance and

My third Indictment against the
dance is that it is one Of the greatest
dindrances that is keeping so many
especially young people. from coming
out into the Christian life. I said to
a young woman, "Why do you not
accept Christi" She said. 1t is be-
cause I care too much for the things

ing to heaven, l would hold on to
the dance" Young people. let me
urge you first of all to settle the
great matter OF your personal rela-
tionship to Christ. Do not let any
thing stand between you and Him.
If you feel convinced that it is the
thing that would please Jesus Christ
for you 20 go TO the dance, go. Do
not make the principle of your
Christian life, 81 will go nowhere
where l can not take Jesus with me"
That is negative. Christ is no rag
doll that you can carry around with
you. If you are to so with Jesus. He
is to lead the way.
! have heard of home where they
had a beautiful vase. which the
father had brought back from Europe.
It was the pride of the family. Every
visitor to that home praised the
beauty OF that vase. Il was also very
costly. One evening when the father
returned from his office. he found
that his little boy had got his hand
fast in that vase The mother had
tried to pull out the hand, but could
not They had sent for the doctor,
and he had failed. Now" said the
father. "straighten out your fingers
straight and pull hard once more. l
do not want to break the vase. but of
course the boys hand is worth more
than hundreds OF vases" The little
fellow looked up and whimpered,
But, papa. if do that l will lose my

ny into the vase and had reached
his hand down to get il. and had
doubled up his little fist so he could
not pull his hand out. You smile at
the child's foolishness. and yet there

cious vase OF their eternal soul be de-

A pastor of wide experience, in a city
parish. said that almost every divorce
in his parish was among those who
were addicted to the dance In that
Elmwood Dancing club, in Buffalo. of
which the Burdick and Pencils were
members, at the time when Mr.. Bur-
dick was murdered and afterwards
the Pencils committed suicide. the
chief of police said that Of the thirty

all denominations have been out
spoken in warning their people OF its
dangers. 1t is true there have been
cases Of men with no spirituality,
who could not build up their churches
upon a religious basis, have tried to
court popularity by descending to the
depths of patronizing the dance Such
ministers are disgrace to any
church. Some religious societies have
made a bid for social and financial
support by countenancing the dance
Those organizations are ecclesiastical
garbage cans, sort of halfway
houses between heaven and hell.

Use CocOanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want TO keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsi-
fed cOcoanut oil (Which is pure and
entirely greaseless), is much better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use for shampoo
ing, as this can't possibly injure the
hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub it in. One Of two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather. and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle Of dust. dirt, dandruff and
excessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky. bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsiied cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. II is very
cheap, and few ounces is enough
