"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."
