DANCING IS THEME
Of PAGAN MEETING
LARGE AUDIENCE HEARS EVAN.
GEIIST Al THE CHRISTIAN
CHURCH.
Modern social Dance Is Condemned
As Beng An Infiucns c Toward I'm
morality.

To the largest hearing since sunday
night, Evangelist Pagan at the Chris
tan church preached on the contro-
. yerted theme of Dancing" The fol-
lowing is a result of his sermon: II
am opposed to the dance because its
influence and tendency is toward i'm &.
morality. The familiarities permitted
at the dance would not be tolerated
under any other circumstances in po-
lite society. The attitude assumed in
the modern dance would be Condemn
ed without music and mot un. How
then can such privileges be sht when
accompanied by music n motion.
Please remember ! am discussing the
modern dance. II anybody ever sail
that ] am opposed to all forms OF
dancing, including folk Dances" etc,
somebody led. Dancing stimulates
impure thinking. It's appeal is to
contact with the opposite sex. How
long do you suppose dancing would
be the peoples amusement If a law
should be passed compelling the men
10 dance with the men and the wom-
en- with the women9
THE superintendent of public
schools in Albany recently told me
that the moral status of their high
school had been wonderfully raised
since the elimination of dancing as a
high school function. Dancing is
either good or bad, II good, it doesn't
need such oversight of the law and
careful supervision as all recognize
it must receive to be proclaimed as
decent in any society. If bad. then
no one who stands for a clean moral
life has any right to participate.
l challenge any one in Pend'etou
To show me one moral or spiritual
benefit derived from the dance The
Christian life demands "a high stand
ard of purity. No one can t%ruthfully
say that the environment o. the dance
lneites to purity, As n Christian your
influence is lost in the dance room.
