' The Duty of Christiana.
"Some Thoughts on Daticios. was
he.toplo that Hev. David Jones ill,
cussed in his evenlnir sermon In the
First Welsh Congregational church yes
t entity . This text was the words found
in Phil. Iv: X. During his discourse h
arraigned the practice of dancing In the
following severe terms:
"I propose to )uing before you this
evening some things that are worthi
er ycur earnest lutisirtertitlon. They
are of equal Importance to all ages.
The young people should give heed unto
them, lest they should Innocently play
and trltle with the enemy of their
health, comfort and ha'iplnoss in this
world, and their eternal welfare In the
world beyond. These thoughts are
worthy of the study of parents, and
those to whom the subject which I re
fer to, is not enticing nor fascinating.
All Interested in the morals of our com
munity, should think most earnestly
what t an be done to rescue our young
people out of peril and put a stop to
the machlna'ton of the devil. ,. r
"I have reference to the ' dancing
classes, and balls held so frequently fh
our part of the city. There are three
or four of these classes in existence.
They advertise their meMings and do
ings as regularly as do the churches
their proceedings. During the last two
weeks we have hail their eomiiiem-e-inent
exercises in the form of a ball,
a.litting consummation ot tbn work car
ried on during the -winter mou.thK.-If In
addition' to the slk dresses, the paint
ed faces und the odor of the fragrant
flowers, we could represv-nt-. the true
manhood, and pure womanhood that
have bet n blighted during the same per
iod. I would be willing to have these
grand demonstrations annually, if lost
purity. Innocence and. virtue could be
pictured therein. Uut the unfortunates
are not allowed to make their unpeur
ance on these occasions. Their pres
ence would mar the Joy of-the ball, and
would be more effectual to paralyze the
limbs of :lu dancers than the 'hand
writing on the wall' in Belshaznar's
feast. '
Pl'I.PIT SHOl'LD SPKAK:
"The Dress of our city has given due
prominence to these displays, und I
think the pulpit with one. accord should
speak out and give its opinion and that
In not uncertain sound of the dance,
and the ball wherever they are held.
This uultilt at ull events will not he
guilty of acting the "dumb dug" (Isaiah
li, IM). 1 do not hesitate to condemn
these practices as devices of thutwlcked
one. Hut 1 shall ut tempt tti discuss the
question In u fair way. If time would
permit we wou'd review the Influence
of the dance on th development of
form anri grace of movement, on gun
eral hen lii. and on manhood and wo
manhood, but this evening we will con
fine ourselves to Its power in the growth
of the Christian character.
"I should not like to be misunderstood
as one t n:iosed to all kinds of amuse
ments. That conception of your pastor
would be erroneous. There are amuse
ments which are innocent, that will not
In themselves tempt you and lead you
to forget your moral responsibilities. 1
do not wish to make old people out of
young, ones, the young will become old
soon enough. It Is natural for the
young to crave for recreation, but let
me caution you In your selection, lest
ycu. slic.'M be curried away into a re
gfon In which you will tlnd yourselves
lost to all that can be said In favor of
dancing together, which, in my opin
ion, are few- and very ethereal. Then I
say In face of them all that the dangers
to body, mind and soul are too numer
ous to Justify It The risk is too great
to sanction It. . What is in view to the
public in balls and dances looks very
beautiful. The room is decorated In
an exquisite manner, signs of grandeur
are evident on all hands. Hut what
waste of nionev on dresses, on tlowers,
on drinks and baiouches'.' Who could
think Dial the times are poor in Hyde
Park,' If they were to know the hun
dreds of diilars paid for these luxuries
by comparatively poor yomg men dur
ing the past two weeks'.'
Ti ALLl'RK THK INNOCENT.
"Hut the sui-riilce should be done In
oniei- to appear grand and gay In the
public eyes, and to allure the innocent
to Join next scusou. I remember many
years ugo I read a little book called
"Hohind the Scenes." and It was a reve
lation to me how the young girls that
appear in glittering costumes on the
stage, In fairs and theater live behind
the scenes. Last week 1 read another
bt.uk entitled "From the Hall-room to
Hell," written by an ex-dancing master
and formerly proprietor of the Los
Angeles Dancing academy, and in this
book there are some pictures of scenes
that take place behind the curtains in
the ball-room and parlor dance. The
outlines are drawn by an eye witness
and a teacher of the art and ait- such
as to make any ordinary man to shud
der. This man knows of what he Is
speaking and can verify his statements.
We know somethings, too. and If we
were to watch more closely our knowl
edge would be wonderfully increased
We -have, known some, enthusiasts of
the dance. What has become of them?
Home are ruined, some have lost their
selfrtspect, some are inmates of
brothels, and some are in untimely
graves. ,
"1 am not delivering this address to
you because some young people in some
other church are guilty of attending
dancing classes and balls. That would
be mean und cowardly; but I am con
strained to do it because I fear there
are some of our youth in the habit of
going to these places, and that others
will follow unless they are warned. Let
me admonish you to 'beware of these
dens of evil. I read once of a tract
distributer going In'o a hosuitul and
passing through the different wards
where patients lay In their beds, and as
It happened he gave a tract on the evil
of dancing to a poor fellow that had
both his legs amputated. It was of no
good to him, lie would never be able
to dance. Such would be my address If
there be none here that attend dances
or have no inclination to go to these
places. Uut 1 think, as I said before
thaf some young people within these
walls are In need of this counsel, and
furthermore, parents may be In need of
being aroused to take greater precau
tl n as to where, their sons and daugh
ters go. and at what hour do they re
turn home. Mothers And fathers should
not take too much for granted. '
WHAT FAVLKNER SAYS.
'PmfesRor Faulkner savs in hiM Iwiok!
't have known young people" to lie at
Sunday night dunces,' and In low com
pany, when their parents tltouglit they
were at church.' ' They made a practice
of going to the church and remaining
long enough to get the text of the pas
tor's discourse and then going away to
spend the time In dancing, and if ques
tloned, they were able to give the text
of the evening's sermon, and the trust
ing parents would ndt dream of their
having been anywhere but at church.'
This can be true in Nora n ton. not of a
Sunday evening meeting, but of other
meetings during the week, and parents
who are hoodwinked and deluded should
watch more closely after their chll
drrr; '
"I Have' confidence In all intelllgen
young people, particularly Christian
people, that they are , as reasonable,
conscientious ana as ready to be con
vlnced of evil aa the older members and
more so. Simply we want to arrest
your attention, we want you to think.
and if It ran be shown that dancing
tepos o, injure m any degree your mor
al Christian character, we believe you
will readily, retrain from the practice.
Christian young men aad women.
'come, let us reason together' In a cool.
calm and unprejudiced mauneruponthls
matter. Some one said he that will not
reason is either a fool or a coward, but
beloved, we are persuaded better things
of you.' and believe that you only need
meditation on this question to abandon
It altogether.
'Does dancing tend to develop your
moral character? He honest in your
study of this matter. Can anyone
nywhere. that has been In constant
attendance In the dancing class take
an oath that the exercise in any de
gree has dune them any moral good?
Can he or she swear that it. has
strengthened his or her morals, inten
sified their chastity and purity? Facts
published are to the contrary'- 1' any
of the other kind were evident, there
would be no lack of funds to publish
them In the most elaborate form. The
dance directly tends to develop the hu
man, carnal, sensual parts of our na
ture. It puts our passions all ablate. It
makes the human being more of an ani
mal and less of a rational being every-
time he enters the dancing class. No
man or woman can or does go through
the exercises of the ball in the most ar
tistic manner without being unproperly
aroused to a greater or less degree.
SOMK STARTLING FIC.t'RKS.
Let mc give you some figures. Pro-
fesscr Faulkner says 'two-thirds of the
girls who enter dancing schools are
ruined before the year is out.' 'The most
accomplished and most perfect dancers
are to be found among the abandoned
women. Why? Hecause they are grad
uates of dancing schools.' The chief of
police in New York has said that three
fourths of abandoned girls In that city
were ruined bjf dancing-. If you doubt
It, let these girls speak for themselves.
In Los Angeles out of 200 cases investi
gated of girls that are public, prosti
tutes, 163 attributed their down
fall directly to the dancing classes
and ball-rooms. Hut why should we
hunt bookn for testimony, why should
we go to the Pacific coaat In search of
witnesses? Listen to the warning giv
en by Mary Jane Lewis, of Luzerne
street, who died some two weeks ago.
Uer deathbed confession vas that the
dancing class, had ruln-d her. Yet, In
spite of these facts, snnii of our young
people risk their reputation and char
acter by going to these rlhces. Some
young people think they are smarter
and cleverer than the majority of their
fellow beings, and consequently think
they can trille with danger, they are too
t limi t to be caught In the snare. . .
i have known young men too full of
egoi'sni and selfconfldence to become
total abstainers, but have seen them in
spite of al their blutfln? as drunk as
alcohol could make them. Mothers are
so confident, that their daughters are
so good and strong morally, that they
will never be entrapped, so they give
them liberty, but scores every year
have cause to regret their over-rated
nlii'tnce of their daughters. Men as
irood as the best that breathe In Scran
ton this evening have become confirmed
drunkards, and have been burled In the
drunkard's grave, women as thuste.
pure and trustworthy as any in our city,
huve fallen to the lowest depths of deg
radation because of trilling with sin.
Why should w- think ourselves bet
ter, und our children suneiior to the
ordinary mortal? 'Wherefore let hlni
that thinketh he standeth J.ake heed
lest he fall' (I Cor. x: Li). The best way
to stand Is to keep away from Blippery
places. Do not risk your character for
the pleasures of the ball. The further
you keep away the better and the safer
you are.. There Is nothing to eievaie
you as a- mural being in the
dance, but there . is enough to de
grade and debase. Do not play wun
such dungerous amusements.
WILL DANCING HELP.
Will dancing help you to be better
Christians? I am speaking In particu
lar to Christian young men and women.
Whut Is the tendtney of the dance on
your Christian life'.' Do you think that
your devo'-lon to the principles of re
ligion, and the welfare of your soul
Increases the oftener you go to the ball,
or are you persuaded that It decreases
according to the fidelity with which you
attend the practices? If the latter be
true. It seems to be your duty to dis
continue the custom at once. I huve
not known any man or woman with u
decidedly evangelistic spirit who ap
proves of the dance. We cannot be
faithful In the prayer meeting If we are
given to dance. And to say the least.
1 think It is our duty not to meddle
I ill iinvthlnif that diminishes the siilrlt
of our religion. No church can be a
spiritual power in a community If a
large percentage of the members are
given to balls. They may wield a pow- j
er. given them by society in vlrture of j
their wealth und status: but . spiritual
power, they have none.
"Dancing Is one thing and the spirit
of Christ Is another thing totally dif
ferent. There Is o sense In being a
member of a church und a dancing class
the same time, tine or the other Is
enough. The union of the two is a mon
strosity. It Is r'dtculous that anyone
should think it possible tn be a zealot
of the dunce and the ball-room and' at
the same time a prominent member of
the church of Christ. Christ said It
was impossible to serve God and mam
mon, and to my view It Is a gruuter im
possibility to be dancers and Christians.
Why should we try it? It will be a
failure, your dance or your religion will
huve to go, they cannot live in the same
atmosphere. We have seen some of our
acquaintances trying the experiment,
and In every case it is a failure.. Some
members of the church on the. West
Side huve told their friends that they
were able to take part in praver ami
.ive their testimony as well as others
before becoming frequent visitors of
the dance and other social gatherings
that meet on the Main street. Why
should we not profit and learn by the
experience of others?
WOVLD CHRIST SANCTION IT.
'Would Christ sanction the dance and
the ball-room? I do not think even in
this age of wild, broiid and liberal views
of theology and religion that anyone
would say that Christ was a dancer,
or in favor of dancing though they say
somethings that are as untenable as
this would be. He in His teachings has
not given notice to this subject of danc
ing, but we can take it for granted that
the tenor of His life was not In accord
ance with the dance. Christ has no use
for a dancing maniac only a subject
of reform. If this be correct, why should
the church tolerate it? I think the
church Is resiionslble for many wild no
tions and customs of this age. It lacks
discipline. PerVnts are punished by
their own children for lack of discipline.
Thev have had their own way. until It
is too late, und when the disobedient
boy or girl suffers they hav to partici
pate In their sufferings. Personally I
have no use for young people that can
frequent dunces only as subjects of re
form. They are of no good to the
church. They lower Its reputation and
in being allowed members they give
some kind of prestige and Btaiullru.-to
the dance. All young people tfiat, are
members of a Christian church should
at once sever their connections ' with
those dancing classes, and In so doing
they would withdraw from them a rec
ommendation that is essential for their
success. ' '
"If all members of churches and all
respectable parenta.were to keep away
their sons and daughters from these
places they would have to seek patron
age somewhere else. The fact that so
and so Is a member, and that deacon
so and so's sou is there, and that Mr.
so and so, who Is a prominent cl'lzen
allows his daiiEhter there, lends power
and standing' to these dens of wicked
ness. If ull our young people in our
various churches were to organize an
autl-onclng society and go out to seek
and convert o'-hers there would be no
dancing classes here next fall. In my
humble opinion there is a better ave
nue for earnest Christian women to
work in this direction than as an anti
saloon society. 1 pray for the success
of the Woman's Christian Temperance
union, but I venture to suggest that
they could do more good and use bet
ter arguments with young sisters,
against the dance than cau be used
by anyone else.
SHOULD DEC LARK AGAINST IT.
"I had the honor and privilege of
listening H Dr. Clark, the founder or
the Christian Endeavor society, last
Thursday evening, Itcturtng In our city.
I noticed that he, as vwell as all speak
ers in this great movement, are de
cisive on the temperance question, but
it seems to be that the evils of daucing
are not emphasized as It ought to in the
various conventions. Endeavorers
could do a lot of good In this line, un
less they are laboring under the spell
of the dunce. Once more let me tell
you that I do not want to make old
people of you. It Is unnatural to have
an old head on young shoulders, und an
old heart in a young body. 1 want you
to have recreation that does not imperil
your, character, health not- usefulness.
'Rejoice. O. young man. tn thy youth,
and let thy heart cheer thee in the days
of thy youth and walk In the ways of
thine heart and in the sight of thine
eye." but In so doing do not undermine
thine health, do not tarnish thy reputa
tion, and do not spoil thy character by
visiting dancing schools and ball
rooms." K1XIUIOUS NOTES.

smoked und chewed for 20 years, used
a 10-cent plug of chewing tobacco every
day. us well as three plugs of smoking
a week. My doctor told me that tobac

of my own accord, but could not exist
without it. After using three boxes of
No-To-Hae I am completely cured. My
nerves were a complete wreck, but now
they never trouble me. For many
years I could not eat any breakfast,
