the needs of the Church, saying .that he
had no right ta teil .these things. It is

bership thereof, while^ it confers ines

.any one_wishes to withdraw^from it, let

wilt not prevent a. faith fn?-Hving mi ois
r.'ti f?y from pro(^miog7 4-?ejfent and for
* sake your sinsyiest^ some evil come to'
hi you from-an-angry anaVayenging God."
Now, I propose to go "aJ?ttle farther
into this matter. For-several years past
tho solemn Lenten season bas been
abused and misused by many members of
the Church ia this city in great prepara?
tion for a so-called Easter e?tertain
ment ostensibly'for the benefit of some
very laudable object. To./my certain
A knowledge^ some parfies who.the last
year w*?r? drawn into this vortex were
so convinced of the inconsistency of j
these proceedings and so realized the
dissipating inSueoee that they refused
to engage in it again. ? know of par
? ties who felt constrained to abstain
from the Holy Communion, at Easter
becaose of the wasted Lent they had
passed in rehearsals at the theatre and
quiet dances after them. Is that one
tact not enough ' cause any pastor's!
heart to ache, and to induce him. if be
values the souls of his people and has
any sense of his responsibility, to call a
halt?
On the Sunday before Ash Wcdnes- '
day th?? year I warned my people |
against ?vartaking in this amusement ?
thisy^nr. and if any of you di t. you went j
ri?lit in the face of that office which is
ordained to watch your souls and in j
defiance of Rim who has saia : Ile that j
bea ret h yu bcarcth Me. and be that!
hearer h Me hearetb Him that sent Me."
Now, my brethren, I ask you as
Christian peeple and as churchmen anc
women^ifthe ordinances of the Churcl
h avenan y claim upon your attention ant
obedience ? If so, what claim have y ot
to be a Christian or a churchman ? I
they have not, then what is the reasoi
of Lent ? Is it not inexpressibly ba>
when adults make a shame cfit and/es
pose the Church to the just scoXn an
ridicule of those who have diso/?rded th
ancient, catholic use and custom of th
church ; and who by a&staining fros

the usjaai routine of a uot.over-spiritua

. -f^Bad enough for adults, but it become
"heart-sickening when the dear littl
children are drawn into this vortex
their yoong hearts and heads filled witl

Why, of course, it was. If all tts nak?
ed ugliness was manifested very many
who crowded te see anti enjoy it would
have shrunk away wttirhorror. Satan
beguiles, h? paints, he leads us on from
step to step, be blunts our sensibilities
till we are able to enjoy, or at least raise
co voice against that which our Chris?
tian conscience would once have scath?
ingly condemned. The marvel to me
was how when that ballet dance was in*
troduccd upoa the stage, with those
[dear little ones the unsuspecting pup?
pets, that every Christian ?roman, at
least, bad not risen and en masse have
left the place which their presence coun?
tenanced. It may make some angry to
say so -r but if there is in the religion of
i Jesas Christony vitality left among us,
j T'know* in ? the heart of thousands the
j feeling will rise, when temper is sub?
dued; and say you are right !
Christian parents, what are you doing
i with your children ? Do yon think the
influence of those misspent sacred days
and weeks-r-yss, even. Holy week-has
passed away from .those young hearts ?
Bow dry and iusipid their prayers at

j against her will, compelled te go and do

well authenticated fruits of this very

This is as good a time as any to say
that the present condition' of our young
people is alarming; : I'ssk you. Chris?
tian parents, if fh"e family, the "fountain
of life and the bulwark of the Church
and of Society; is not io an uOsatisfac
tory-eoudUioa \ ~ Is^ere cot great res?
tiveness under parental'-authority ? J?

.ag old-titne in your, notion.? Do you
not finxHbc 'pressure from without so
strong that jou sometimes j*ive way
j rather than make your children siogu
I lar, or un copular, or out of Society ?
I beg you to look at the behavoir of
many young people in the streets ; the
'rather'loud: manners of-the streets; the
boldness of the inTercourse' between the
sexes ; thc* - demonstrativeness in the
cars ; the very shocking behavior some?
times in the church of God-not con?
fined to boys and youths? I am not the
j only observer. I Tiear a great many
j people-tal ki ag" of these thing?. Their
priwte'"position "does*not give " them the
.-opportunity . te caliattention to where
we arc drifting. Mine does, and I fear
God morcaban men, abd therefore will
1 speak.' Are not our! young peopte
going too fast ? Are they not being
exposed to very many incalculable evils?
Are we'not tolerating, without remon?
strance, the introduction into our best
circles of a style of dress at evening en
1 tertainments which cannot be called
modest ? Are we not letting our young
daughters go out from . balls aud parlies
walking through the streets at late
hoursralone-with youths? .Oh, are we
not letting the bloom of innocence, pu?
rity and modesty be rubbed off, for fear
of b?ing thought prudish end old-time
in our notions-a bloom.which once lost
can Ucvcr be regained ?
I am perfectly aware that I will not
be agreed with in that which I am about
to say. I remember very well when tn
a private house in this city the modern
round d-aoce-not one-tenth as objec?
tionable as now-was first introduced,
j It was a shock. It took some ti;?e to
\ familiarize our society with it. But
now every other dance is too tame and
stupid. I have even heard it said
young ladies would not a?teud a party
1 unless they were to have the rouud
j dance. And I have seeu with my own
j eyes such exhibitions on the ?loor that
j my spirit has been fired with iudigua
tion. I do not say that I believe dan
I cing is a sin-a graceful dance, the po?
etry of movement stirred by music, is
beautiful and inuoceut ; but I defy any
one to fiti J pot try or grace or elegance
io the boisterous rush of the modern
round dance, the heated flushed faces of
men and women in this monstrous craze
of modern society.
Some may say you mi<-lit as well try
to stem Niagara. If the Chrstian moth?
ers of this city would say this shall bc
abolished, round dancing would vanish
quicker than it came. I believe as
firmly as I live that tbe demoralization
rf toe day, i^iich is an open secret
freely dis?jj^S?d, has its origin in this
perniciojjf? amusement. I was very
glad t? find in -& recent conversation
snjJatbat scholarly and eminent divine,
85r. Junkin, that he agrees with my
views entirely. I do not know a Chris?
tian minister or a Christian mao or
woman who has made any attainment
in thc Christian life who does not con?
demn and abhor it. We have got to
rise and assert ourselves. There is,
however, eoougb left in truth to make
itself felt. I acknowledge that I have
been weak enough to permit the intro
duction of this dance where I had con?
trol, but I have done eo for the last
time. Christian parents, every one of
you, let the command go out from your
firesides : This thing is done, your
daughters shall not dance the round
dance, and you have-cut out one o? the
main roots producing theytvils you de?
plore. You cannot trim and cut off
this and that and leave the main demor?
alizing influe nee at work. And you
do not deprive your daughters of any
r?atgobd?- The.generation which knew
no round-dance bad as happy a time,
yes, happier, because purer, than any
who have indulged in it. Said a prom?
inent physician to me io my study one
week agOr-a man whorls not a commu?
nicant of th?; Churchs f'l charge ; the
pulpit? with dereliction qf nts duty. I
speak aa a physician and I speak that
which I lenow, that the round dance is a
physical, moral and mental evil unmiti?
gated;' that to it directly may be traced
physical and moral evtis that has been
irremediable.
My words will fall unheeded on many
ears, bat they will accomplish that
whereunto they are sent. God knows
it is for love to the . people, love tb the
young, love for society, love for the
Church, love to God, love-for the dear
blessed Lord, who came down to the
Virgin's womb and went up to Gethsem?
ane and Calvary and the Tomb in thc
Garden in our behalf, tbat I speak these
plain things to you. I could narrate to
you incident after incident, painful, dis?
tressing, shockiog ; but I have no pur?
pose to expose to public gaze our shame. |
If the third of the things which have
been commonly spoken about were
printed we would all implore that the
type be broken up.
I think -that a great deal has been done
thoughtlessly-unintentionally to do
wrong; but the sober second thought,the
j^-jstian reflection of the truly pious
p^Pfe of our city will ere long justify
me in thus plainly.pointing out spr$z-??
the evils to which we at?- exposed J I
am talking to those who are the sheep
and the lambs committed to my care-of
course I cannot preveutit if my remarks
go further than my flock. I do not
wish to regulate or control any one else.
If others hear of them, what is God's
truth in them will do good, what is not
will perish, as it ought to perish. But
this I say to you, my people : "If ye
be risen with Christ, seek those things
which are above where Christ sitteth at
the right hand of God." Train your
children for God. Keep them out of
the evil-let them be old-fashioned, let
them be out of the charmed circle of the
bTst so^TSty^recaember you have given
them to Goda&d they are members of
Christ-children of God and heirs oftbe
Kingdom of Heaven, pledged lo fight
manfully under 9?s banner against sin,
the world and th?\????i?-Boaf-^off
up thus. Then if God should lay His
hand uponTtheur and gather them to
Himself, you will be saved the sting
which must come to every sensitive
heart that you had not exposed them to
the influences t)f a theatrical exhibition;
when you lie down to die yourself you
will have ihc.comfort of going away to
God to tell Him'you had tried to bring
up-the children ,00 earth He had given
you-, in th?^iiurtur? and admonition of
the Lord.

HAIX'S HAo^SowEB. The cases in which
itJ?5accomplished a complete restoration of
. ??lor to the hair, and rigorous health to the
scalp, are innumerable.
Old people like it for its wonderful power to.
restore to their whitening locks their original
color and beauty, middle-aged people like it
because it prevents them from getting bald,
keeps dandruff away, and makes the hair
grow thick and strong. Young ladies like it
as a dressing because it gi ves the hair a beau?
tiful glossy lustre, and enables them to dress
it in whatever form they wish. Thus it is the
favorite of all, and it has become so simply
because it disappoints nd one.

mother who has once used" it will ?ver again
be without it in ber time of trouble.
A prominent physician lately remarked to
the proprietor,-that if it were admissible to
make public the letters we receive, the "Moth?
ers' Friend would out-sell anything on the
market."
I most earnestly entreat ?very female ex?
pecting to be confinined, to use Mother's Re?
lief. Coupled with this entreaty I will add
that during a long obstetrical practice (forty
four year3,) I have never known it to fail to
produce a safe and quick delivery.
