MARY GALE DAVIS, Pd.M., Principal,
2003 Columbia Road, Washington, D. C.
as the thought fished through my
mind, tomorrow night is prayer meet
ing night, I should have been delight
ed to see him then. But why not
tonight on this pleasant occasion? I
led him to my parents, and, in a
somewhat shame faced fashion, intro
duced him.
“They both gave a start of amazed
surprise, but convinced by his appear
ance that there was no mistake, my
father recovered a degree of self-pos
session, bade him welcome, offered
him a seat, remarked that this was an
unexpected pleasure, and then, after a
somewhat lengthy pause, explained to
Jesus that his daughter, Mabel, being
very closely occupied with her studies
and having little variety in life, had
been allowed to invite a few friends
for a social evening, with a little
quiet dancing byway of healthful ex
ercise. Her friends were all of the
very choicest, and he felt that this
was a very harmless amusement, which
the church had come to look upon in
a somewhat different light from that
in which it was viewed forty years
ago. By removing the objectionable
feature of bad company it had now
made this pleasant pastime a safe in
dulgence for its young people.
“As my father stammered out, in
the presence of Jesus, these words of
apology, which had fallen from my
own lips, I felt myself flush crimson
with shame both for my dear father
and myself. Why should he apologize
at all for what he considered unques
tionably right? And how hollow it all
sounded there in the presence of the
Lord! Did not Jesus know that my
studies were not so pressing but that
I could keep late hours, sometimes
several nights in the week, at par
ties?
“Then father, anxious to relieve my
evident embarrassment, said: ‘I am
sure we can leave these young people
safely to themselves, and nothing
would please me so well as to take
you, my Lord Jesus, off into my study
for a talk.’
“ ‘No,’ said Jesus. ‘Mabel has often
invited me, and I came tonight espe
cially to be with her. Will you in
troduce me to your friends, Mabel?
Some of them I know, but some I do
not know.’
“Again that miserable uncomfort
able feeling came over me. Why
could I not reply: ‘lt will afford them
and me the greatest pleasure?’ Be
cause, for some reason, I could not
feel pleased, and I dared not in that
presence use the polite, but untrue
phrase. I simply said, ‘Certainly, if
you wish.’
“Os course, all this time, you,
friends, were looking much in our
direction, wondering at our embarrass
ment, and perhaps guessing that we
had been made uncomfortable by the
arrival of a not altogether welcome
guest. I led him first to some of the
church members among you, and there
was not one of you who looked as
comfortable after the introduction as
before.
“As it became known who the guest
was, faces changed color, and some
of you looked very much as if you
would like to leave the room. It really
seemed as if the church members
were quite as unwilling to meet Jesus
as those who were not Christians.
“One of you came up quietly and
whispered to me: ‘Shall I tell the mu
sicians not to play the dance music,
but to look up some sacred piece?’
Jesus caught the question, and looking
us both squarely in the face he sim
ply asked, ‘Why should you?’ and we
could not answer. Some one else
suggested that we could have a very
pleasant and profitable evening if we
should change our original plans and
THE GOLDEN AGE FOR JULY 31, 1913
invite Jesus to talk to us. Again he
was met with that searching look and
that searching question: ‘Why should
my presence change your plans?’
“After I had introduced the Lord
Jesus to you all, and no one knew
what to do next —Jesus turned to me
and said: ‘You were planning for
dancing, were you not? It is high
time you began, or you cannot com
plete your program before daylight.
Will you not give the word to the mu
sicians, Mabel?’
“I was at my wits’ end. If my orig
inal plan was all right, his presence
ought only to add joy to the occasion;
yet here were all my guests, as well
as myself, made wretchedly uncom
fortable by the presence of him whom
the most of us called our best friend.
Determined to throw off this feeling
and be my self, at his word I ordered
the musicians to play for the first
dance.
“The young man with whom I was
engaged for that dance did not come
to claim me, and no one went upon
the floor. This was still worse embar
rassment. The orchestra played one
more, and two or three couples, more
to relieve me than for any other rea
son, began to dance in a rather for
mal fashion. I was almost beside my
self, with shame and confusion, when
the Lord Jesus turned to me and
said: ‘Mabel, your guests do not seem
at ease. Why do you not, as their
hostess, relieve their embarrassment
by dancing yourself? Would it help
you any if I should offer to dance with
you?’
“My confusion gave way to an ex
pression almost of horror, as I looked
into those tenderly sad eyes and cried,
‘You dance! You cannot mean it!’
‘ ‘Why not, Mabel? If my disciples
may dance, may not I? Did you think
all this winter when you and others
of my disciples have gathered for the
dance or the card party or at the
theatre, that you left me at home or
in the church? You prayed for my
presence in the prayer meeting; you
did not quite want it here; but why
not, my dear child? Why have you
not welcomed me tonight, Mabel?
Why has my simple presence spoiled
your pleasure? Though I am a Man
of Sorrows and acquainted with grief,
yet I delight to share and increase all
the pure joys of my disciples. Is it
possible that you leave me out of any
of your pleasures, Mabel? If so, is it
not because you feel that they do not
help you to become like me and to
glorify me; that they take your time
and strength and thought to such an
extent that you have less delight in
my word and in communion with me?
You have been asking, “What’s the
harm?” have you asked, “What is the
gain?” Have you done these things
for the glory of God?’
“It was all plain to me now. Over
come with self-reproach and profound
sorrow, I threw myself on the floor
at his feet and sobbed out my repent
ance
“With a ‘Daughter, go in peace, thy
sins be forgiven thee,’ he was gone.
I awoke and found that it was all a
dream. And now I want to ask you,
my friends, shall we go on with the
program tonight, or shall we take
these lists which we have prepared
and discuss for a time with our part
ners the question: ‘What can young
people do to make the world better
for their having lived in it?’ ”
As the vote was unanimous in favor
of the latter plan, which was followed
by other wholesome recreations, and
as the social evening, closing prompt
ly at midnight, was declared the most
delightful of the winter, it is safe to
say that the Lord Jesus had sent that
dream for others beside Mabel Ashton.

THE WONDERS OF WATER.
A small stream can be harnessed
and made to develop power for turning
the wheels of the largest manufactur
ing plants. The great Falls of the
Niagara with its gigantic strength has
been subdued by man, and now pro
vides the source of light and power
supply for surrounding cities and
towns. A few gallons of water can
be converted into steam and made to
run the most powerful engines and
machinery.
But more remarkable to our mind,
is the power of the water from Shivar
Spring, Shelton, S. C. This water has
wonderful medicinal properties, so
perfectly compounded in Nature’s
Laboratory as to give it great cura
tive powers. If drank in place of or
dinary water it cures the worst forms
of Indigestion, Dyspepsia and other
stomach troubles. Positive relief
from kidney, bladder and liver dis
eases result from its use. Rheuma
tism, Gout, Gall Stones, and that pe
culiar condition of the blood known
as Uric Acid Poisoning, gives way to
its healing and curative powers. Rec
ordrs show positively that 99 out of
every 100 cases are cured by Shivar
Spring Water.
The perfect reliability of Shivar
Spring Water as a remedy for such
ailments has led Mr. Shivar .owner of
the spring, to market the water on
the following liberal “guarantee” ba
sis. For $2 he will ship anyone suffer
ing ten gallons of the water, with the
understanding that it must benefit or
your money will be refunded. If after
drinking the water as directed, you
fail to get relief, return the empty
demijohns with the statement that you
were nto benefited, and you get back
your $2. The advertising manager of
this paper is personally acquainted
with Mr. Shivar and knows positively
that he will do as he says. You run
absolutely no risk in accepting his of
fer. Address your letter to N. F. Shi
