IS IT A SIN TO DANCE ?
pare and noble little woman. Now yon
can fume about that if yon want to, but
it’s the troth and you know it.
The parents of this land are responsi
ble for their children’s action. Th*
mothers are not presumed to know af
much about the dance as the fathers
and if the fathers do their duty then
will be no more dancing and the ques
tion will be solved.
Next to the divine religion we of th.
South hold in reverence the exalted
character of Southern womanhood, ant
that reverence is the only apology 1
offer for writing this article.
Eves and Eabs.
The Bubject of dancing is one that is
receivings great deal of attention now.
It is being discussed from the pulpit
and from the fireside, and upon the
discussion a great deal of the happiness
of the young people depend. The fol
lowing communications on the subject
give some got the ideas pro and con,
and show to what an extent the argu
ments are going.
In Favor of the Dance.
What is dancing? It is the moving
of the feet in certain given steps to mu
sic, or according to time. It is an
amusement in which young people, and
those of more advanced^age, but who
retain much of their youthful vigor and
sprightliness engage as a recreation.
They do dot engage in it for the sake
of money, or because they hate each
other, but to the contrary to spend their
money pleasantly with each other, and
at the same time to revive their health
and spirits after the strife and toils of
the day are over, or on occasions of
joy. I regret to hear it
condemned by some as abominable in a
p rson of gentility and refinement-
And it is tbis prevalent error that in
duces me to give my reasons, to show it
is not wrong or unbecoming in a lady,
or gentleman, be he or she Christian,
Jew, Gentile or Barbarian.
We will first search the prayers of an
tiquity, and see how the people of the
good old time looked upon it. Let us
take the Hebrews. That nation, which
was under the especial favor and pro
tection of God.
It appears from their history that
dancing . was not uncommon
« and was indulged in on
various occasions; at their feasts,
celebration,'their deliverances from
danger and trouble; and on occassionB
' of joy. Exodus, 15th chapter and
20tn verse. “Miriam, the pr jphetess,
sister of Aaron took a timbrel in her
hand, and all the women went out af
ter her wiih timbrels and with dances.”
We see Miriam standing upon a high
cliff of rocks, which overlooked the Bed
Sea and Pharaoh’s host, with a timbrel
in her hand, and all the women of that
favored people with timbrels in their
hands, dancing and singing, because
the horse and rider had been thrown in
"tus/sfe Judges when the child-
Under sworn saying: “cursed
A »,..uatgivetb a wife unto Benja
min.” A plot was made by the Elders,
whereby the tribe of
Benjamin might obtain wives
They said unto them, there was soon to
i a feast near Bethel, and command
>children ofBeojamin to go and lie
vineyards and see,“and behold, if
the daughters of Shiloh come out to
danoe, in dances, then come y« out of
the vineyards, and catch you every man
hiawifeof the daughters ol Shiloh, and
go into the land of Benjamin.” And the
children of Benjamin did so, and took
to their themselves wiveB according to
their number of them that danced whom
they caught.
Exodus 33ch, 19v, we find dancing,
2nd Samuel 6ch, 14v.
And David danced before the Lord
with all his Might, and David was gird
ed in with a linen ephod. Also
in lGv, not only danced, but
actually leaped into the ark of the
Lord. . He, too, seemed to have been
dressed Jor the occasion. Psalm 149,
third verse. “Let them praise His
name in the danoe. Let them sing
praises unto Him with the timbrel and
harp.” Psalm 150, fourth verse. In
both plaoes the prophet exhorteth t >
praise God for bis love to the church.
1st Samuel, 27th, filth verse. “Sing
ing in the dance, saying, ‘Saul slew bis
thousands, David bis ten thousands,”
making merry, and dancing at the over
throw of the enemy. 1st Samuel, 18th
ch.. Ctb verse. “Dancing to meet King
Saul with musto&l instruments re
turning from the slaughter
of the Philistines. Jeremiah 31st
chapter, 4th verse. In the restoration
of Israel the Lord promises to build
them up, adorn them with tabrets, and
have them go forth in the danoe of them
that make money.
Su Matthew 14th chapter Gth verse.
Herod’s birthday was kept,the daugh
ter of Herodias danoed before him, and
pleased Herod. 1st Samuel 30th chapter
10th verse.
If a sin,’ why was it countenanced so
many times, and even by the Lord?
Some may argue that tho sexes did not
mingle on these occasions. Very true,
and only of late years have they sat to
gether in all the churches, and even to
this day w$find,; the in oountry a line
drawn. It may be remarked that these
emotions are not holy, and
should not be indulged in.
But to the contrary if the designs and
purposes are not sinful. And now I
will enquire, ho v many engage in the
dance w5$h feelings better and kinder
than usual?. Do they not meet their
fellow bringXwith more affability and
heartfelt friendship on these occa
sions ?
If an object of charity presents itself
you will find tbatthosewho engage in
the dunce are more free and liberal in
lending assistance than others who re-
.uaiu At homo or go to some other
amusements which require their money.
And show me the young man who ab
stains from the dance, not being re
strained by things beyond his control.
I will show you nine cases out of ten,
a miserable, miserly misanthrope. But
again you say it is a very fascinating
amusement, and young people are apt
to carry it to excess. True,all you say
but that is only an argument against its
abase, and a reason why, you your
selves, parents, guardians should at
tend idle dance and see that they do not
indulge to excess. If a child eats and
drinks to excess, is that a reason why
you should debar him from eating and
drinking ? If he desires to dress extra
vagantly, will you deprive him of cloth
ing? I think not.
Take this recreation from them, and
what do they do? They must have some
other amusement, and that suited to
their nature, and of their own choice,
or they will not have any. Tou attempt,
to prescribe, and they select ten times
worse.
The majority of young men, rather
than be cramped, in a parlor with yonng
ladies, and an untuned piano, vainly en
deavoring to entertain each < ther, con
scious at the same time the eyes of the
old people are upon them, from un
known crevices watching to see if there
is a manifestation of the tender feeling
on the part of either will resort to the
restaurant and spend fine times the
amount of his patrimony in eating,
drinking, smoking, chewing tobacco,
that he would, badJie been permitted
to indulge in the dance, when every
thing is done decently and in order.
Many condemn dancing, not knowing
anything of the atep3 and figures
and decent propriety with which ladies
and gentlemen are bound to conduct
themselves.
Yet they condemn it, and that with,
out a reason.
Dancing, when properly conducted, is
not contrary to moral law, is not siufal
or unbecoming to the most refined and
fastidious. This is my henest convic
tion, and let others do and say what
they may. “Hoai soit qui maly’ pense”
“Today I’ll haste to dance my time as if
tomorrow should ne’er be mine. Bat if
tomorrow comes, why then—I’ll haste
to dance my time again.”

Pretty p’ain talk to be Riven the Gov

it. Such things as these are common
however, knowing that official position
keeps a man frem giving just compen
sation.
In the People’s party paper is the fol
lowing card:
If He Said It he Lied.
“In his speech at Sparta recently
Governor Hoi then is reported to have
said of myself and Mrs. Post:
“ 'He Is an infidel. He is an anar
chist. Are you going to closet your
self with him ?
“ ‘How do I know? He says so. His
wifesaysso. Perhaps I should not
thus attack a woman, but she has un
sexed hem If. She has written letters
against the Democratic party. An
atheist herself she makes $1,000
month sellir g her Democratic heresy.’
“During the trouble concerning the
Hay market not, Post’s wife mailed the
anarchists’ wives money. Host was
told that unless he took it r ut of the of
fice he would be tarred and feathered,
and the infamous cur took it out.’
“If Governor Northen made these
statements I r;ply, simply and plainly,
that on every count made, except that
of having written letters denouncing
the Democratic party, Governor North
en deliberately lied.
“C. C. Post.”
Governor Northen, when seen, said
that in due time he would answer it^and
give Col. Post all he wanted. Lively

as plainly as he would like. He cannot
express in the exact terms the idea she
wishes, to convey. Yet he can say
enough to convince the mind that be
hind the dance there lurks a danger
that should not be courted but that
should by all means be avoided.
I preface my brief remarks by the as
sertion that the young ladies who at
tend the germans and round dances are
uot aware of the dangers that lie hidden
there, and also by the further assertion
that if we, who oppose the dance, sould
talk as plainly to them aa we could to
iheir fathers or brothers
there would u’t be a german
in Athens again, unless it were a stag
party.
It may be said that dancing was in
dulged in by the Bibical heroes. Grant
it, an i you have proved nothing. Every
dance recorded is one of holy thanks
giving, and no one will be so bold as to
assert that modem germans are danced
with tbesameend in view.
It is claimed that dancing is a recrea
tion. Cooking is also considerable re
creation, so is milking, washing the
dishes, atending to household duties,
hoeing in the garden, and the like.
There is not so much objection to be
urged to the square dances as to the
round dances _ and not so
much to private dances as to
public germans, bat as the last seems
to be the most fashionable mode at pre
sent, I will uonfine my remarks to it.
To start with the dresses used at these
germans are not only objectionable in
point of style and make, but are also
dangerous to the health of the young
ladies. How many cases of death re
sulting from disease, from exposure in
the ball room,I need not stop to enumer
ate. In the next plaoe the affair is pub
lic; it brings the yonng ladies out too
conspicuously before the gaze of thi
vulgar, and when I say this I mean it.
Lastly the attendants upon a german
are not selected very exclusively, and
on the german floor a young lady i.
compelled to dance with whomsoevei
leads her out. She may never have met
him more than once before, she may not
know what kind of a man he is, and yet
she must dance with him.

be affronted at what I write, that they
will lift their heads in holy horror. My

CYCLONE WORK.
The Awful Wreck of a Town in Kansas
Kansas City, Mo., May 28 —A special
to The Journal from Wellington, Kan.,
says a cyclone passed over that place,
killing and injuring 509 peo'ple. The
storm passed directly through the center
of the town, wrecking everything in its
path. Fire broke out in the wrecked
district, causing great-destruction.
The following is a complete list of
those killed by the tornado, as gathered
at tbis hour, 2:30 a. in.: Frank D. Camp-
bell, James Hastie, Leonard Adamson,
Ida Jones, Mrs. Asher and sister.
Kittie Strahn, Professor Mayor and
Horton Upson are missing, and are
probably killed. Lieutenant W. French
and Cadet Samms of the Salvation Ar
my, Mrs. Mnrpliy and a child named
Mattie Hodges aro badly injured. Cas
Stoner, Gus Colby, Dick‘Weaver, Car
rie Mitchell and Ed Forsythe each re
ceived injuries more or less serious.
The streets are impassable, and noth
ing but rain exists everywhere. At
least twelve bodies have already been
taken out of the ruins, and something
less than seventy-five are injured. Men
are working everywhere trying to i
cue the imprisoned ones. No one now
can realize the extent of the catastro
phe, and daylight alone will reveal the
saddest scene of ruin anctdesolation
ever witnessed in southern Kansas.

and his legs burned to . a crisp. Len
berg was thrown back and terribly cat
and burned. Stranburg, another Bailor,
was singed by the flames. Ned Kiley,
a sailor on deck at the time, states that
when the explosion occurred, ropes,
hawsers, and the main hatch cover were
hurled into the sea and the deck opened
wide from the after part Of the house to
the stern.
The ship was generally demolished.
TjJje rigging was on fire and the pumps
would not work. Captain Chapman
was found pinned to the floor in his
cabin under broken timber, his spine
broken. The men extricated him with
great difficulty, and made haste to get
into boats, as the vessel was sinking.
There were nineteen men divided among
three small boats. When last seen the

TRIBUTE OP RESPECT.
THE BEAUTY OF APOLOGY.
Scarcely a day passes bnt each one of us
is guilty, through carelessness, ignorance,
oi perhaps intention, of some unkind,
hasty word or act against another. We
misjudge another’s word or deed, and.
with angry motives, we try to right our
selves and assert oar injured dignity.
When our better nature is restored, we
regret that we were not slow to anger. We
are mortified that our own perceptions
were not keen enough to see the word or
deed from an impartial point of view and
often we feel tine contntiop that we have
cherished unjust suspicions, and voiced
<>nr thoughts indignantly and harshly.
There is an uneasy tugging of our con
science and a hun spot in another’s heart
—two discords where all might have been
harmonious. Or we are so busy with our
duties, so wrapped up in our efforts to get
wbat we wish, that we hurry along rough
shod over anything or person that checks
our hasty pace. We are not unkind, but
careless of another’s share in tbe daily
doinge. We are self-assertive, and we im
agine every one else tqnally able to main
tain himself. We are surprised to find
ourselves charged with indifference and
selfishness, and to see another indignant
at onr self-centred course ; or we are ig
norant of the tender spot, tbe sensitive
nerve, in our neighbor’s more high-strung
nature, and with idle or besl-intentioned
chat we press clumsily the place we should
avoid.
All this is annoying, and we who con
scientiously live to do good rather than
evil feel discouraged with our tactless
selves,and often justly so with those whose
feelings are apparently “ always od
draught.” But how many of us are will
ing to apologise ? How many cheerfully
use tbis, tbe first meaus of righting
wrongs ? Just why should false pride suc
ceed in convincing us that to assure anoth
er that we regret the wrong, and are mind
ed not to repeat it, is humiliating ? The
humiliating part of the matter is our own
shortcoming in tact and thoughtfulness,
not the fact that we say we see our blun
der. The oifejce is two-fold—onr part
and our neighbor’s— and it is not eoougb
to be mentally resolved that tbe trouble
shall not arise again. The neighbor Bbould
share this resolve, tbis mutual apology.
Not that apology is the whole of repeut-
ance, genuine turning from past acts, but
it is the first chord that leads quickly, nat
urally back from discordant keys to past
or higher harmonies.
To know the beauty of apology in its
fullness, it shonld be met in the same spirit
of frankness. To receive an apology in h
doubting, grudging, ungracious way is a
disgrace. It is ill-bred, ignoble, unchris
tian. We are all liable to grievously of.
fend at any moment, and when our broth
er says, “I was wrong; let me try again,’’
let us not chill bis frank impulses. Let us
add our share to the beauty of bis apology
by a trusting .hearty God-speed.—Harper’s

WHAT ARE YOU GOOD FOR?
THE NEW CREATION.
In the Scriptures this spiritual change in
man is known by different names_ such.as
regeneration, a new birlh, a being born
again, a quickening, and Ibe formation of
Christ in the soul. Though the terms vary,
yet their meaning is tbe same. Tbey ex
press one end the same thing, L e., * that
supernatural work Of God by which he
transforms the soul into bis own like ness.
In tbe accomplishment tbe efficient agent
is tbe Holy Ghost. Neither human nor
angelic power is equal to the undertaking.
It lies wholy within tbe divine province,
It is a creation. To create is Goa’s act.
He alone’ean change tbe stony into a fleshly
heart, or render tbe unimpressitile nature
responsive and mouldable. He first made
man, and be must remake him. Sin mar
red his oiiginai workmanship; grace must
re*stampit. This God does through the
operations of tbe Holy Spirit. This func
tion Jesus assigned to the Holy Spirit In
his conversation with Nicodemus. The
apostles in their teachings ascribe it to him.
The history of the Chriataio Church
attests how grandly and glotioualy he has
ext cuted the blessed office in million nt
saints during the intervening ages since
his Pentecostal manifestations Tbe sub
jects of it aro ready to give him the entire
honor of tie r transformations. They an
conscious tbs t. under it tbey are passive,
not active—acted upon, not actors. Tney
know that they possess not the recrcatine
energy. They bless God for its exertio;
on their behalf, and attribute to him all th<
glory of it
In effecting ids renovations the Holy
Ghost employs the word of God. As James
writes, “Oh bis own will begat he us b\
the word of truth.” He implants and d<
velops tbis incorruptible seed. Ont of it
he educes tbe principle of life. He quick
ens it, when the mighty and marvellous
change is wrought.—Selected.

THE STREAM THAT NEVER DRIEP
UP.’*
I was once stopping at a village on the
W$lsh coast, where the people nad to bring
all the water from a well.
“Is this well ever dry?” inquried I of a
young girl who came to d aw water,
“Diy? Yts, ma’am; very often in h«
weather.”
“And wh» re do yon go for water then?'
“T«» the spring a little way out of town,”
“And if that spring dries up?”
“Why, then we go to the spring higher
up, the best water of all.”
“But if that stream higher up fails?’’
“Why, ma’am, that stream never dties
up—never. It is always the same winter
and summer.”
I went to this piecious brook which
“never dries np.” It was a clear, sparkling
rivulet, coming down the high hill—not
with torrent leap and roar, but soft mur
mur of fulness and freedom. It flowed
down the highway aide; it was within
reach of every child’s pitcher; it was
enough for empty vessel. The small
birds came down thither to drink; the
sheep and lambs had trodden down a little
path to its brink. The thirsty beast of
burden, along the dusty road, knew the
way to the stream that“never dries np.”
It reminded me of the waters of life and
salvation flowing from tbe “Itock of Ages, ’
and brought within the reach of all men
by the gospel of J sue Christ. Every other
brook may grow dry in the days of drought
and adversity, but this heavenly spting
never ceases to flow.—Selected.

“•d nd wbat is this pencil for?”
“To mark with,” said tbe chi'dren.
“But suppose U has no lead, and wiU noi

Very well. • If a boy or a girl dots not

Just leaving my childhood b hind,
I would not be so ntat, from heal to mv
feet, J
That never a fault could one find.
So helpful to mother, so gentle to brother,
I’d have things so cherry and sweet,
Tnat tbe streets and their glare could never
compare
With the charms of the home so re
plete.
If I were a girl, a fond, loving girl,
W ith father o’erburdened with care,
l would walk at bis side with, sweet, ten
der pride,
With ever a kiss and a prayer.
Not a secret I’d keep that could lead to
deceit.
Not a thought I should blush to share;
Not a fiiend my parents * would disap
prove—
I would trust such a girl aDy where!
