1.AST OF SERMON SKKIKS
ON mis DANCE
(Continued from Pagel)
nothing else against it, that would
Ftamp it with the seal of condemna
tion." Dr. John Roach Stratton of Calvary
Baptist church, New York, state that
while the Baptist church is congrega
tional in its policy, that the over
whelming sentiment of the church has
always been in strong opposition to
dancing, and that many Baptist
churches expel members who dance.
In the Congregational church, the
fcvneral association meeting; in Iowa a
tew years ago, parsed this resolution:
"Resolved, that in opinion of this as
sociation, the practice of dancing by
members of our churches is inconsis
tent with the profession of religion
and ought to be made a subject of
discipline."
Episcopal Bishops Oppose
A number of the bishops of the
Episcopal church have spoken out
pgainst the evil. Bishop Hopkins of
Vermont says, "Dancing is chargeable
with a waste of time, the interruption
of useful study, the indulgence of
personal vanity and display, and the
premature excitement of the passions.
Mo argument can make it consistent
With baptism."
Bishop Meade of Virginia says the
only line he would draw is entire ex
clusion. Bishop Coxe, of western New York,
in a pastoral letter, speaking of the
in of dancing warns communicants
who run with the world to the excels
of riot in these things, that they J
presume not to come to the holy.)
Classes preparing for confirmation are
informed that I will not Jay hands
knowingly or any one who ia not pre
pared to renounce such things, with
other abominations of the world, the
flesh, nnd the devil."
At a plenary council of the Catholic
church held in Baltimore, a pastoral
letter was issued by the archbishops
end bishop j which said: "We consider
it to be our duty to warn our people
against those amusements which may
easily become to them an occasion to
Fin, and especially against the fash-
J..V.l., A ...U L A. a.
lunauic uautxra vwum, tu av prcsem
carried on, are revolting to every feel
ing of delicacy and propriety, and are
fraught with the gravest dangers to
morals."
And only this month, the Denver
Ministerial association passed a resolu
tion condemning the dance as a part of
the church activities and social pro
gram. Chills the Spiritual Life
For many Christians who dance,
tkat amusement may never become an
ocension for actual sin, but it seldom
fail to have a chilling effect on the
spiritual life. A light frost may fell
upon the apple tree in springtime. Itj
does not kill the tree, and most of its
green foliaicc will remain unharmed,
but the blossoms will bo so chilled tht
there will l no fruit thut year, ou
remember the occasion when Je.us
cursed the barren tree. We wei-e
created for communion with God, for
the development of the spiritual na
ture, and Christian people should not
do that which will defeat God's highest
purpose for them, even though they
never fall into actual sin. Dancing
Christians seldom attend prayer meet
ings with regularity. Evangelist Sun
flay, who haa trained more perronal
workers than any other man, says a
dancing Christian never was a soul
winner.
hxperiencod soul winner tell us that
the most difficult pa-sot t Tta-Jt it
the devotee of the U.7.ra Iangeliit
Biederwolf said he had had scores and
scores of people tell him that if they
must quit dancing they would not be
come Christians, and that when not a
word had been said about the dance.
His conclusions was that it was the
promptings of a guilty conscience.
While some Christians tell us they
soe no harm in the dunce, many un
converted frankly say they know it is
wrong, and expect to give it up if they
are ever converted. This was put as a
question by Evangelist Hamilton in
union taticrnacle meeting in David
City, and COO unconverted people
arose, giving an affirmative answer.
Sets a Bad Example
Christians should not dance for an
other reason, that while some can do it
without falling into sin themselves,
their example will lead others into this
amusement, for whom it may become
an occasion for sin. And St. Paul
said, "If meat make my brother to
offend, I will eat no meat while the
world standeth." Dr. Russell Conwell,
famous Baptist preacher, wTiter and
lecturer, who has cheered millions with
his lecture on "Acres of Diamonds,"
speaking of dancing in his pulpit of
the Baptist Temple of Philadelphia,
one of the greatest churches of Am
erica, said: "Young women, you are
doing the most wicked thing this side
of murder when you dance with young
men in places like that under those
circumstances, embraced as you are in
the .modem dances. Beware! God
will hold you responsible for the temp
tations you put in his way."
How much better to have the spirit
of the small boy who was walking in
the woods with his boy companion" and
little sister. They came to a stream
over which a log had fallen, and his
companion said, "Come on, you can
walk across it," He replied, "I can,
but little sister can't."
Not Risht Christian Type
It has been suggested that we ought
to permit dancing in our new commun
ity hall, that young people will dance
any way, so better let them do it in
the church.. No, this church is built to
save young people, not to place
temptation in their way. The young
people who could not be won to the
church nor held to it except through a
church dance, is not of the heroic type
required to win the world for Christ.
Jesus did not pay, "Follow me and 1 1
will give you an exciting time," but
"If any man would come after me, let
him deny himself, and take up his
cross."
The call of Christ ha3 always been
to the heroic rather than to a place of
entertainment. Perhaps one cause for
the dearth of spiritual religion in our
modern churches is that in our enthu
siasm for numbers we have tried to,
draw crowds by entertaining them,
rather than by challenging Hhem to!
heroic service. We must again take
up the clarion call of Jesus Christ,
summoning men to self denial, cross
bearing and service in his name.
