-Their Beply to a Sermon
Preached hy Bev T. D. Swindell
on ths Ko&ern Baaee, &o-;
1 1
Some weeks . aso
the- BeV. P. D'
Swindell preached a aermoh in the
Methodist Church, on the subject of
tfae "modern dance." .His text was!
"A Time to Dance.'- The sermon was
clear, logical and practical; at least
it was so pronounced, by some of the
most intellectual people of the town;
both among professed Uhnsuans, and
those, who are members of no church1
meu and women In fact, many
gentlemen who I heard speak of it,
said it was the truth, put in good
shape, especially needed at this time;
and, that .they admired a preacher;
who had the boldness to openly . de
nounce an evil, which was sapping
the foundation of society, and blight
ing the purity of womanhoods One
distinguished gentleman, known well
ia the community,' and the State, not
a member of any-church, said : "Tod
much could hot be' said, against the
mucn couia not oe saia, againsc me
modern dance and the modern dress-i
ing of the day, tnat it was a tempta-
tion to lust, and an invasion upon
the innate modesty and purity of
woman, which had a tendency to
lower and degrade her in the eyes of
the world."
The sermon of the Eev. Mr. Swin-1
dell seema to have stirred, ud the
righteous indignation of the Wahree j
Club," a club known and designated
m tne community as tne Amncmg
Club," of which Mr; B, a Sharp is
president, and Mr. 1 nomas 11. ijattle
is secretary and treasurer . fco indig
nant were they, that they openly j
Droclaimed. upon the streets, that a
reply would be made to the sermon.
inerefore, this "Wanree tJiuD, con
stitute themselvea the champions of
the "Modern Dance, and rush bead-
long into print in an official communi
cation, "a reply to tne aioresaia ser
moo. Whether it was officially read I
and approved, in regular meeung, ot-
whether they selected a special cham
pion for the occasion, x cannot tea ;
suffice it to say, they give their official
sanction and endorsement, by signing
the name of the dhb to the article, and
thev thns oubliclv ' place themselves
before the community, the church
and the world, as the. champions of
the. "Modern. Dance." They remind
me very mueh of an- incident in the
life of St Paul. ; On' one occasion

As to the article in question, so far
as what might be called "artful dodg
ing' and "adroit manouvermg, is
concerned, 1 consider it a success,
well worthy of the learned champions.
But it has been asked, what issues ao
they niake? Po.they thmk Aby, a
smalttnntr of ancient history, a few
ecriptui e qaotations and a little ridi
cule, which receives thel plaudits of
the thouk-btUss, that a great principle
ia to he laughed down t Nay, verily 1
Let ua take a view of the sermon.
After an announcement of the text,
MA Time to Dance," I the preacher
said, the . Methodist Church was ac
pnspd of beinff ascetic, because of
oooosition to certain amusements,
especially the dance. Is she right or
wronci 11 right; then otner cnurcnes
ouffht to ioin hands with her. As
there in not a positive, thus saith the
Lod, we must rely on its, character
and its effects to determine its moral
aualitv. I assume that it is either
right or wrOog. It cannot be a mere
matter of social ethics, and indiffer
ent per. ee as ao act! It is a
matter of divine ethics, Gods law
embraces all relatious civil and social,
as wt;il as iLidividuaL Thediviue law
admits (iuo nemrahty. ; Every indi
vidual ' act-- m fcitL-ef arteablb 'to

The preacher proceeded to show from
his BtaudDOint. tnat aancin? couiu
not be foi" Christ, because of its evil
tendency: therefore, must be against
Him. The champions ' assers u
