J To give an inntnucc : I once knew the j agent going in advxnco of the show to .set i up liand bilLs, and seouro entertainment, on reaching the village where I then lived, to call at 0110 of the hotels to make the nee-1 e,ssary arrangements. Un hearing the 1 terms, objections were rained. The landlord told him to go to the other hotel?he replied with nnoath, " thoy arc all Methodists there." This man with all his sin upon him!? whose only business was to create an excitement among the people by his advertisements nuil then filch from them their money (for often not more than half that is advertised is really exhibited,) knew that the Methodist Church was opposed to his calling. When tho day o*ir.e, I was glad to see Methodists sustain their character, by stand mg tuooi irom suoli aninkot damning shin.

It is surely a violation of the rules of their rnnrou ior juetiuxiiet* to send their children to the dancing school! nnd it is a violation of tho spirit of the Gospel also.
