If any one_wishes to withdraw^ from it, let him or her go at ,his.or ?her peril, and join themselves with; the rabble who once cried, ?i(k?cify hiv?*"? But this will not prevent a f?^fu?-feviag miois ^ try from procTaiming/ ''Re^nt and for *: sake your sinsy lest- some evil come to yon from an angry and-avenging God.*' Now, I propose to go a little farther into this matter. For several years past the solemn Lenten season . has been '. abused and misused by many members of \ the Church ia this city in great prepara? tion "for a so-called Easter entertain .'- ment ostensibly "for the benefit of some very laudable object. To/my certain % knowledge, some parties who.the last ? year w<?r* drawn into this vortex were % so convinced of the inconsistency of ? these proceedings and so realized the dissipating influence that they refused to engage in it again. I know of par ?* ties who felt constrained to abstain from tbe Holy Qommuoioo. at Easter ! because of the wasted Lent they had j passed in rehearsals at thc theatre and ? quiet dances after them. Is that one tact not enough to cause any pastor's j heart to ache, and to iuduce him, if he t values the souls of his people and has j any sense of his responsibility, to call a halt? On the Sunday before Ash Wednes- j day this year t warned my people I against partaking in this amusement j this y*?ar. and if any of you di i. you went j right i? the face of that office which is j ordained to watch yonr souls and in \ deSance of Rim who has saia : He that ' i hoare! lr you hearctb Me. and be that!; heareth Me heareth Him that sent Me." il Now, my brethren, I ask you as J pzg - Christian people and as churchmen ai womenyiTthe ordinances of the Char? harban j claim upon your attention ai obedience 1 If so, what claim have y< to be a Christian or a churchman ? they have not, then what is the reas< of Lent? Is it not inexpressibly bi wheo adults make ashame cfit aod/e pose the Church to the just scQtfn a ridicule of those who have dis&at'ded t ancient, catholic use and ypastom of t church ; and who by abstaining frc public amusementsj?d>ut by devotii their time to preparation for a gr? carnival after. Vie season has passe really partake, if possible, io more ult wotHUojsa? than if they had gotse on the usjaal routine of a not.over-spiritu life/T y.Bad enough for adults, but it becom "heart-sickening -when the dear litt children are drawn into this vortex their young hearts and heads filled wi the emotions which the drilling at dressing and 3tage effects of a theatric VeDr?sen.rati?n before immense and ai planning audiences must inevitably pr <fec#^;!%%0M?e, feeble" tfeagh 3t b is^raised'in protest against' this misai of God's fairest heritage.

S?ta beguiles, he paints, he leads us on froi step to step, be blunts our sensibilrtk till we are able to enjoy, or at least rai* no voice against that which ourCb-ii tian conscience would once have scat! ingly condemned. The marvel to ni was how when that ballet dance was it troduced upon the stage, with thos dear'little ones the unsuspecting puj pets, that every Christian ??oman, i least, bad not risen and en masse na* left the place which their presence coot tenanced. It may make some angry t say so r but if there is in the religion c 'Jesus.

" Are you-not-regarded as harsh, as -peculiar-, as old-time tu., your : notion-? Do you not find'tuc 'pressure from without sc strong that jpou sometimes jpve way rather t?an make your children singu? lar, or unpopular, or oat of Society ? I beg you to look at the bebavoir ol many young people io the streets; the rather*loud manners of the streets; the boldness bf the Tnfercourse' between the sexes ; the > demonstrativeness in the cars ; the very shockiug behavior some? times io the church of God-not con? fined to boys and youths? I am not the only observer. I hear a great mauy people tal ki og of these things. Their private 'position wdoes"hbt give'them the opportunity .teocali- attention to where we arc drifting. Mine does, and I fear God mor e* th ah men, and therefore will 1 speak.' Are not our. young people 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 tertainmccts which cannot be called modest ? Are we not letting our young daughters go out from . balls and parties walking through the streets at late hours alone with youths? Oh, are we not letting the bloom of innocence, pu? rity ,and modesty be rubbed off, for fear of being thought prudish and old-time in our notions-a bloom which once lost can never 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 in a private house in this city the modern round dance-not one-tenth . as objec? tionable as now-was first iotroduced. It was a shock. It took some time to familiarize our society with it. But now every other dauce is too tame ?nd stupid. I have evcu heard it said young ladies would not attcud a parly unless they were to have the round dauce. And I have seeu with my own eyes such exhibitions on the floor that my spirit has been fired with iudigua tion. I do not say that ? believe dan? cing is a sin-a gracful dance, the po? etry of moTement stirred by music, is beautiful and innocent ; but I defy any one to find pot try or grace or elegance in thc boisterous rush of the modern round dance, the heated flushed faces of men and women iu this monstrous craze of modern society. Souic may say you might as well try to stem Niagara. If (he Chrstian moth? ers of this city would say this shall bc abolished, round dancing would vanish quicker than it came. I believe as Brmly as I live that the demoralisation of the day, a^jich is an opeo secret freely discj^ed, bas its origin io this pernicioo? amusement. I was very glad ?bfiod ia -a recent conversation wjp??UKit scholarly and eminent divine, Junkin, that be agrees with my views entirely. I do not know a Chris? tian minister or a Christian man or woman who has made any attainment in the Christian life who does not con? demn and abhor it. We have got to rise and assert ourselves. There is, however, enough left in truth to make itself felt. I acknowledge that I have been weak enough to permit the intro doction of this dance where I had con? trol, but I have done eo for the last time. Christian parents, every one of yon, let the command go out from your firesides: This thing is done, your daughters shall not dance the round dance, and you have out out one of the main roots producing the^vils you de? plore. You cannot trim and cut off this and that and leave the main demor? alizing i D fia eo ce at work. And you do root deprive-your daughters of ajoy ??algood.- ^Phe generation which knew no rou nd-d sin c? had as happy a time, yes, happier, because purer, than any who have indulged in it. Said a prom? inent physician to me in my study one week agor-a man whorls not a commu? nicant of thea Church; "I charge the pulpit with dereliction of ats duty. I speak -as a physician and I speak that which I Tcnow, that the ronnd dance is a physical, moral and mental evil unmiti? gated;'' that to it directly may be traced physical and moral evHs that bas been irremediable. My words will fall unheeded on many ears, but 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, that I speak these plain things to yon. I could narrate to you incident after incident, painful, dis? tressing, shocking ; 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 np. - I think -that a great deal has been done thoughtlessly-unintentionally to do wrong; but the sober second thought,thc jjj^istian reflection of the truly pious j^H^ of our city will ere lcDg justify me in thus plainly,pointing out sorpc^j the evils to which we are e^-pbsed. I am talking to those who are the sheep and the lambs committed to my care-of course I cannot prevent it 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 b^sTs^cTety^jecoember you h?ve given them to Goda?^ they are members of Christ-children of God and heirs of the Kingdom of Hessen, pledged to fight manfully under f$?s banucr against sin, the world and theVjgFj'Ji Jfria^-tfreoTf up thus. Then if God should lay His hand upon them' 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 of a theatrical exhibition; when you Re down to die yourself you will have the.comfort of going away to God to tell Hinr you had tried to bring up the children .00 earth He had given yonvi? th?-Tiurtur?/and admonition of the Lord.
