The Washington, N. c., Daily
news Of Jan. | 9Th, says: @
In the presence Of what was
probably the largest congregat-
ION ever assembled in the Metho.
dist church, Rev. D. H, Tuttle last
night delivered q sermon on the
evils of dancing which held the
closest attention OF his audience
from start to finish and which
was one Of the: best sermons OF
it's kind that ever has been deliv-
cred in Washington. So large
was the congregation that extra
chairs in the aisles had to be pro.
vided for the late arrivals. !:

by showing to the congregation
some photographs illustrating
the latest dances. = =.

Look close, however, and, you

two PERSONS there. That is the
kind Of: dancing which some of
our church members are trying
to unite with their religion.
"Such contact Of the sexes in
public is a positive disgrace. Any
person who can indulge IN that

birth to evil thoughts isn't q

mands crititism and invites de-

States or the world has no place
for the dancing master or: the
dancing mistress. They are en-
gagged in an utterly useless pur
pose. ;. 80.
"Primarily, in a good many
cases, the fault lies with the par
euts. If proper parental influi
ence were used, there would b,
much less dancing in our tow
today. II the parents. exercised
Their. authority then there woulG
be fewer boys and girls to gt

The Place For And Function
Of a Community Building.


Lakeland all that it would cost. This
from a purely commercial standpoint
AS a community center for the crea
ton and development Of moral, men

upon the rising generation; a. an evil
dence of thoughtful interest in the
continued stream Of winter visitors
and for many other worthy reasons
outside of the purely physical. nc
action which the citizens CT Lakeland
could take at this time could be more
sane, safe and reasonable.
AS an evidence Of the honor in
which we hold our soldiers and sail
ors, not the bronze tablets which
should have place therein but the life
and activity possible day by day and
every day while such a building might
stand would be permanent and liv-
ing evidence of that which i. would
be impossible to make any mere shaft
of marble or granite ever to symbol
lie satisfactorily.
AS some one has well sad: "Let
our memorials of this conflict be

beauty and attractiveness Of the Park
and greatly increase the space fos
use in the Park.
1t is proposed to be of Brick, Stone

will furnish a homo for the Boy
