A if dmdng. whether ancient or mod
ern, must come under one of the two
heads above stated, that is. either right
eous or sinful. Let us investigate.
; I. The religions dance which was
? expressive of religious joys, feelings
' aftd emotions. We read in 2nd Sum. H.
j 1-4. that\David dancer! before the Loru
| with all rH^ might." Here the ark of
the Lord wJ&? l?eing brought up from
the house of tybedettem into the 'ity of
David. OU'de&mjfr-and his family had
been so abundantly blessed for the arks*
sake duria* its three months stay with ?
\ them, that ir had -fully encou.- j
j agrti David to get into h:s city, so j
I tiiit <Jod*s blessings would attend him i
and his people. And finding that (Jod
was with him in removing it David
| danced for joy, praisin*? God with -'all !
his raig^t." In ExJo: 20-28 we lind that i
I "Miriam, *he prophetess, 4ne sister ofi
Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand, an<H
all the w3men went out after ker with I
timbrels and with dances." Here the
children of Israel had passed over the
Red $-*a on dry ground and as they
were being closely punned by the
Egyptians, they had not more than
gotten over before JJharaoh and his
afj?y started ac; oss, but to their sur
prise. the water closed in their wings
and causrht them in the mighty .deep,
and Miriam and the ot her women went
out praising <iod with timbrels ami
with dancrs for joy. becaase the Lord
had -triumphed glorious ly." ljence you ;
see this was a religious dance, and note j
the fact that it was not a rrixed affair i
but "women" only.
Again we find another account inj
IudgeS^ll:3t. "And Jephthah came to*,
Mizpeh unto his house, and behold his
daughter came out to meet him with
timbrels and with dances." Here again
we find a dance which was expressive
of religious joys and feeling. The daugh
ter of Jephthah was rejoicing over the
victory that God had given her father
over the Ammonites, &c. Xo sinful
motive iu it whatever.^
I > iu Judges, 2131 "The daughters of
j Shifeu came to dance ill dances." This
w? in expression of praise to Hod no
doubt, ag ,t was the the Lord
in Shiloh."
Ag*in Luke records id his gospel 15:

4? The relationships existing in the,
bail room ate indecent. It any than were
to go to his house and hnd his wiie in
the embrace of another mail as is of ten !
the case iu tlie dancing parlor, he wouiu j
attempt to kill the trespa^er imme
diately, j et in the dance ne w ouid sav i
nothing. ?V here is consistency V bhe has
drparted from this scene.
5. it results in the ruin of virtuous
girls. Ninety-four per cent, of all the i
talkn women, according to late statis- j
tics, went from the dancing parlor. This
great ?*nemy eats the very life bnx*!
out of the character so gradually that
it is scarcely perceptible until the flow
er which was blossoming into perfect
charactei, has laded and gitfie and there
is nothing left but withered leaves over)
which sorrowing hearts lament and re
gret. ! ; _ .
6. Jdodern dance oltety results in
drilling and blood shed. Ijome young j
men can not attempt to daa?ee without
being about half drunk on "red eye" j
which makes some people fool enough j
to dance perfectly. It often terminates j
in murder aud other such desperate
crimes which the devil himself wouiu
almost blush to behold. Now where j
shall we put it? Who will say the
modern dance is a religious dance?;
And who, with proper Qgp of their;
thinking facoittrs, and conscience un
covered aud In the light of this investi
gation, will not say it u? a great sin,
and should be crushed xutd atmus, drjv- ,
