PLANS SERMONS
ON THE DANCE
Rev. Mearl C. Smith anounces that,
beginning fcunday night, he will de
liver a series of sermons on the sub
joct of the dance. It is a well known
fact that the Methodist church has al
ways been bitterly opposed to dancing
and in former years no one would
think of identifying himself with the
Methodists unless he renounced this
practice. The discipline of the church
is very plain on this point and al
though many people including a etoud
of dancing masters petitioned the last
general conference to remove the ban
of (lancing, the rules of the church
still stand.
Rev. Mr. Smith maintains that it
not an arbitrary rule to keep young
people from enjoying life, but is based
on the mo.-t fundamental laws of the
Bible and the moral universe, and
thnt those who break this law, must
suiter me natural reaction wiucn is
certain to follow.
When the sin of dancing is men
tioned, Mr. Smi'.h says, many young
people will ask questions such as
these: What harm is there in dancing?
Does r.ot the B ble say, "there's a
time to dance?'' Did not David
dance? It is not possible to answer
these questions in a sentence, so they
will be answered in a series of Sunday
night addresses. The first of these,
next Sunday night at the Methodist
church, will answer the question,
"Why Is It Wrong to Dance?" This
will be followed by a sermon on "The
Dance of Death."
Rev. Mr. Smith promises to bring
ample evidence to show that dancing
more than any other amusement is
detrimental to one's highe. t develop
ment, and is the largest cause of moral
corruption which the present age
knows. Everyone is invited to attend
this series of sermons, but a special
invitation is extended to young people
and parents of young people or child

to hold the program earlier in the

"Did the Huns whip all the fight out
of the American boys in France? Is
that the reason why so many of them
are quitters and will not join the Am

buddies?"
"The father of a buck private,'
writing in the Douglas County Legion

and vigor. "A soldier who will not
join the American Legion is a quitter,'
he says.
"From the last pood-bye at the sta
tion, on through the homesickness of
the camps, through the dayf
when 'broke' was the common finan
cial condition, over in the jammed
shins to France; through the days and
nights in the trenches; there grew up
a new affection of hian for man .
"My Buddy. Fdr him the sky was
the limit. The last cigarette would be

were risked in No Man's Land for him.
To the fathers back home this beauti
ful new sentiment of buddyhood be
tween four million young men meant
protection for America from all it
ills, Then came the organization
of the American Legion.
"But what had come over the soldier
loys who went through the hell ir
France? It looks to me as though the
Huns had whipped all the fight out of
them. Too many of them refuse tc
join the legion. They have laid down
cold and refuse to lend a hand to the
wrecks of the war who are in 'No
Man's Land' in America today. The
victims of tubercu'osis, the mental
wrecks, the crippled boys, the out of
work unfortunates in this country
need the help of their buddies more
now than during the war, because
then we were all willing to do things
for the soldiers. Now that our lives
and property are safe we are tired of
hearing about the fellows who did the
fighting.
"But is that the excuse for the sol
diers who came out able-bodied and in
good shape? If the Huns whipped all
the fight ut of them we are willing to
accept the decision and overlook their
quitting, just the same as we would
humor a soldier made mentally de
ficient by the hell he went through
over there."

TODAY'S BEST STORY.
A lot has been said about the typo-.
graphical errors in the newspapers,'
but other business enterprises pull
some of the same sort of mental
aberrations once in a while. For in
stance, there was a man in Nebraska
Citv whose wife died and the was a
devout woman and a church worker
and. in short what we call a lovely
character, and after she had died and
the undertaker had got hisn, the man
dwided he would have a marble testi
monial of his love and affection erected
over the remains of the woman, le-
fore he fortrot about it or was vamped
again, as it were, so he ordered a very
imposing stone and gave implicit in-,
structions to have this inscription'
graven on its smooth surface: 'Lord,
She Was Thine." And in a month the
stone was set up and one Sunday the
man walked out to the cemetery to
view the masterpiece, and he nearly
fell dead himself when he read the in
scription, for the engraver had run out
of room, and had omitted the "E"i
from the last word.
