David +. Nygren. evangelist. who
is conducting revival In First

mon last night held up to scorn all
modern dances. declaring they we're
leading the nation TO moral bank
ruptcy.
In The course OF his remarks MIR.
Nygren said;
The dance can be traced from
the lowest strata or society from
Babylon through the house OF the
Herods. and on through the under
world OF Paris and the red-light dis.
uicts OF our large cities.
'"rhe dance Is a menace TO health
Il was not originated for the promo.
ton OF health: il was never designed
20 be. and. in fact. never has been
promouvc OF health. Viewed as ar
exercise, the dance as an institution

Instead OF low neck. Il Is no neck
