' Train v.( a Child in the way he should and and hi will not depart thereof." We believe this as much a- we believe there is a Christ. Train up a ehild to dance, teach it dane.n in the schools from its infancy up. and do you think when that child becomes a man or woman that it will noi co to the dance halls? Why of course thai fiirl or boy is going to the dance halls because they are trilled dancers aud father and mother taucht us to dance and no harm can come of dancing whatever. It space w ill permit we will g ve an illustration of one of my personal friends in Stanly county. He was a boy taught that dancing was for im moral purposes by his mother and he believed it. He believes that danc ing at the public dance halls is a dis grace. Believing this as he does has caused that poor boy many a heart ache. He has probably wished booze; now what are we going to do to save the. boys and girls from mor al rum?
