term 'hydrophobia' means fear
of water, and is seen only in
human beings. 1t is not a char

disease is always spread by a

cannot be communicated in any
other way.

Declaring that smoking, crap shoot

become prevalent among a certain
coterie Of young girls of good fami-
lies in Americas, much to her amaze
ment and chagrin, a well known and
prominent Americas woman has ask
ed the Times-Recorder to reprint an
account of a sermon on these mod
ern society vices of girls and women,
delivered recently in Augusta by
Rev. G. s. Whitney. This Americas
woman declared to the Times-Re-
Teorder that when the word came to
her that such practices were preva-
lent among the girls here she would
not believe it, but had investigated
and found it to be true, She said
she considered it time that something
be said or done to stop it, and sug-
gested that this sermon might have
a beneficial influence. The account
of the sermon, as published by the
Augusta Chronicle, follows:

tan people--but when we. come to
definite and concrete instances, they
are not willing to apply the prin-
ciple. And few will be found to deny
that social life as we see it today
is degenerating with alarming rapid
ity. Morals and manners are on the
down grade and conditions are such
as to shock and alarm even those
who have long been active in the
social life of their communities.
Mothers are anxiously asking, "What
am | to do about my growing girl?
/ had good time when | was a
girl. | danced and played cards,
but | never did the things that
women and girls are doing today.
Is my daughter to be cut off from
the natural pleasures of youth be-
cause | am not willing to see her
taught to dress and dance unmodest-
ly, to drink and smoke unchaperon-
ed at late hours?"
Every one Of these things is done
in what we are pleased to call good
society. 1t is probably not worse in
Augusta than in most other places,
but Is bad enough and it is time to
call a halt, for the people who sane
ton these things are not heather
but Christians, and yes, members and
communicates of our churches, and in
| this respect this church of ours,
| the Episcopal, is standing in false
light. 1t has never prohibited any
one amusement, but has simply adj
hered to the principles laid down by
our Lord himself in the Sermon on
the Mount and left the application to
each individual conscience. 1t is a
great liberty, yes, too great, for
we have become like the people of
whom ST, Paul spoke-who used
"the ilriberty for cloak of mach
ciousness."
And, beause our church has not
forbidden its members to indulge in
any specific amusement, that liberty
has been abused. Members of this
church have come to think that they
can do almost anything and get by
with it, We have become a re-
proaeh among our fellow Christ
ians for our anxiety and it is time
to define the ehurch's attitude on
these things,
The church has never forbidden
its members to dance, but the

And if these things are reproaeh
to the church, what shall we say
when the Lords own day is pro-
famed by indulgence in them?
"Thou shalt remember the Sabbath
day to keep it holy" Are we keep
ing it holy? We have come long
ways from the old Puritannical Sun
day and changing times have
brought in many customs which
have been tacitiy accepted, but the
line must be drawn somewhere and
certainly at this point. Sunday
frolies are not marks of Christian
and no church can stand for them.
Thus we exalt the Lords day in
an hymn, and then turn it into a
day Of frivolity and excess Gods
people of old met with drastic pun
ishment when they broke the fourtn
commandment. Do we not fear His
displeasure?
Modern Dress.
There are many more things in
the manners and customs of our
day which deserve the disapproval
of the church. Perhaps enough has
been said in public print of women's
dress; there is room for reform and
that reform is on the way; but some
thing should be done to stop the ex-
cessive use of cosmetics by young
girls scarcely in their teens. What
can their mothers and fathers be
thinking of to let them go upon the
street dressed and painted in a man.

the modern dancing in any sense or
degree. The generation Of 20 years
ago danced long and late, but they
danced decently and enjoyed what
ppears to have been natural amuse-
ment from the dawn of histo-
ry. But the less said of the dane
ing of today the better, it is enough
to say that every country club or
dancing hall now has its officers on
duty to prevent the extremes of in
decency.
Gard Playing
The church has never forbidden.
The ordinary social games of cards,
but she certainly does forbid gamb
ling, because gambling is an a.
knowledged moral offense against
society and is forbidden by the
laws of the land 1t would be quite
the proper thing for the officers
of the law to invade the drawing
rooms of some of our good Christ
ians and carry to the police bar
racks everyone found playing for
money.
Indeed is it not rank injustice
that a group of ignorant negroes
throwing dice in a back room
could be raided, jailed, tried and
sent to the gang, when all over
town men and women are doing the
same thing unrestricted and undis-
turbed? What can we think of
mother who can listen to childish
lips saying, "Now / lay me-" at her
knee, and then go out to play cards
for money, possibly drink snug
gled liquor and spend the evening
Ia the iighteSt sort of frivolity?
What can we expect the growing
boys and girls to think when they
see and hear these things? The
church has no approval for. these
things and has too long been silent.
