SERMON Tells
OF DANCE EVIL
SAYS LACK OF CHRISTIAN HOMES
IS RESPONSIBLE AND THAT
LAWS OR LAWMAKERS ARE
NOT TO BLAME.

THE normal way to get rid of
criminals is to quit raising them
This was summary statement made
by Rev i. W. Chalker at the First
Methodist church yesterday morning,
in a sermon on why the Moral De-
generacy in Pensacola? o. Public
dancingwas scoredand conc let at some
of the dance halls here was pointed
to as a disgrace and a menace to the
community.
Announcement that the minister
would deal in his sermon with local
conditions, was responsible for a large
attendance, the auditorium of the
church being filled to capacity.
The minister prefaced his discourse
with references to reports which had
gone out from Pensacola and had
reached Washington to the efTeeT that
vice conditions here We're worse than
the average and that the percentage
Of girls from this city who go to tie
bad is enormous.
I'VE must face conditions as they
exist he asserted II have been told
by a government secret service man,
who came here to study these condi-
tions, that the chief source of inmor-
ality-that the chief responsibility for
these conditions-is the public dances.
Lack of Christian Homes.
There are two principal causes fer
immortality in Pensacola" he said.
The dance is the chief one and the
lack of Christian homes the oher. Any
one who has read the report of the
vice commission in Chicago cannot
deny the fact that the dance causes
the downfall of character. 1 heard DR..
Hobin. who was a member Of that
commission, say that so per cent Of
the unmarried mothers who came be-
fore us testified that they took their
first step toward their downfall in the
ballroom. No christian man or woman
can encourage or patronize an insti-
tuition that is responsible for the down
fall of our girls.
Legislatures cannot correct this
evil. Theq uestion must be dealt with
and settled in the home. Where girls
and boys are reared under Goddess in
fiuences, they go out into society and
make Goddess citizens. If they are
reared in homes that have - iaw in
them, they go out in socie.y TO be
lawleSs," said Rev. Chalke
