kmuSementS,

though they differ widely in many re-
spects yet unite in condemning the
dance as it is conducted in society to-
day.
| shall call those who have had every
opportunity to judge it effects.
We ask the Roman Catholic church
for its decision, and from the plenary
council of Archbishops and Bishops of
the q S. assembled in Baltimore, comes
the unanimous declaration I'VE consider
it to be our duty to warn our people
against those amusements which may
easily become to them an occasion of
sin. and especially against the fashion
able dances, which, as at present carri-
ed on, are revolving to every feeling of
delicacy and propriety and are fraught
with the greatest danger to morals. "
Who have better opportunities for
discovering what practices are danger
Gus to morals. In the light of the con-
fessional, this is the deliberate con-
clusion of all the Archbishops and
Bishops of the country.
The Archbishop speaking from Dub
lin corroborates the above.
Hear the testimony of another, one
too that supposedly favors it, viz: the
body. But it is objected that this church
has never given any deliverance against
it. Many of its leaders have and in
strong language too.
Bishop Hopkins. of VT, at the time
of his death one of the brightest stars
in theschurch, said. ''No ingenuity can
make it consistent with the covenant
of Baptism" Bishop Need, Of Va,
said, Social dancing is not among the
neutral things, which within certain
limits, We may do at pleasure. ana even
