But many a man, not, like John, in Prison, but in orcliestra chair, has lost his head; both morally and spiritually, as the result of an immoral show on the theatre boards. There may be good theatres. I know that some people whom I respect attend the theatre. But I allow Ulm e are also vile the- atres.. I also know some of these vile theatres are attended regularly - by some so-called good people. And I also know that these., vile shows are the haunts of spiritual and phy- sical death When .1 wrote this sermon there -lay -upon any study desk a powerful edi- torial upon "STAGla ABOM1NATIONS." It " lately appeared in one of the greatest secular newspapers of the • present day. This editorial was not • written by a minister, but by a lay- man who perhaps never enters a church. It said: "It does not seem possible that the public will much longer tolerate the abominations and through,out and out. They all, that are constantly being inflicted without an exception, believe that the dance hall is. the depleter of spire itual life, consequently they are, an.d always will be, out and .out, through. and through, enemies of this destroy- er, this insidious fde of spiritual life. As I spoke in reference to regulai theatre goers, I now in reference to the regular dance hall devotee. You never saw Me all your life a pereon who was conspicuous for her love for the dance hall who was at the same tinee conspicuous for her devotion t� the Service of Jesus. Tile' two loves do not exist in the same heart. They are altogether incongruous. Yon' never in your life saw deep spiritual - consecration foe Christ and love for the dance hall exist together in the same himitin heart. The modern dance is .0 foe to all spiritual devel- , opulent and a barrier to progress hi aboiish it entirely as an institattiona the Christian life. • Then this editorial goes more into not mention. "ABE ALL 'DANCES BAD ?". asks some young' girl. "Is every one a dance of death? Are all our young people enemies of Christ and had. who ever visit dance halls? This js a question which is often honestly and ail:Keough put to me by my young 'motile. iny young friend; you have asked me a bleat Question, and 1, will answer you in just the same way. First, I will say and emphatically say, that do not believe all young people who go to dance halls are intentionally bad. -I believe, yes, I know, same of them' go there without one impure thought. They go for the pleasure of meeting other young people and of passine; an evening in each .other's company: In, the. next place I will. emphatically state that believe one of the mast pernicioue, ono of the most awful causes of spiritual death in our cit- ies to -day is the dance hall. And, in support of iny second statement. I will say • that in all the United. States you cannot lindone minister or layman noted for spiritual Or vangelistic power, who is not an enemy of the dance hall, through upon. it from behind the footlights kof the theatres of the present day. • Surely the -vulgarities and indecenci- es of actors and actresses of the present 'cla.er who substitute filth and vile ineinuations for wit and humor are not so licensed that they can be allowed to go on forever without re- buke. The nasty and offensive jokes -the immoral action and the language or the Sterns end the Idle resort are all too frequently forced upon the ear mid seen in the streets and pub- lic places of the tOwn •without being, flaunted in our faces when we pay ,seeorl money for a seat in the the- • atre.

And this is true, as many of us know to our sera:5w, for to touch anything thus blackened is to flatten the fluffy soot into an oily smudge that soap and ammonia, have no ef- fect upon. So draperies, pillows, furniture, must be carefully lifted, taken, out doors, -the first delicately. put on a line for the wind to clean; the others blown upon with a great expenditure • of breath, and currents of alt' must be encouraged to blow through the room. It often scenes a . 'if the smallest accideat' carried - the greatest amount of trouble and annoyance. ' To guard against such misfortunes, all wicifs should be only partially turned up until the heat expansion is over. • Let a lamp burn a few mine.- tes before leaving the room; then turn it un a little more and you can see .whether the wick is trimmed so that the flame . burne evenly, or if there' are "Iionits"' on it that make smoking almost certain. See that the laniP. IS not filled ' too full; and that it is full enough. Be careful about „placing it in aa; draft._ A, lamp in ,a, room with an °Pen door will be affected by a strong draft. in an adjacent robin, especial- ly by the opening and closing of an outside door. • . . . Never leave a .room. with the lamp turned to its fullest capacity, even if you mean .to be gone but a few min- utes. You may be detained, or niaY forget, and there's no knowing what misbehavior that lamp may be guilty of during your absence. - ' givrs von ,Rout 'Art.:- , Men (reeking fruit 'add alittlasalt ee et _awl ,eroie, will be eterprleetie at .4n.p,r,01‘7,04 „flavOr:, •,Ar Well of iULls Sallicient for a trAit tart. , Te give etoyea e;,,oOd polish mix • a teieeperonfid"of PoWdered 1uin with the 'usual blacking.

Does any man fatal haunts. I see dark shadows in the streets where .no lights ;are. I. see these dark shadows following the burglar and the "liOld up" naan an.d the murderer With his pistol and knife. , I see the 'dark and tightly closed houses front which no ray of light is coming. These houses 'look deserted, but they, are not deserted. They are outposts' of perdition, sil- ent but haunted with OUTCASTS AND GAMBLERS and conspirators who are flagrantly breaking the laws of the land. I see the low dives 01 a, great city. reeking with human vermin. I see also where the counterfeiters are silently doing their work in the stillness of the night. .:, Night is a symbal of social calamity, sin and death. So we find that most of the lowest outcasts of society try to conceal their evil ac- tions in the darkness of the night. It is the time when the devotees of sin hold their, -high carnival. It is when the death, dealers are able to deliver their hardest -blows .with, the least ehance of deteetion. nut with God the night is not only the em- blem of ealarnit;v, it is alsci the har- binger „of the day, foe as Isiah trav- eled forth into 'the darleness tte. divine prophet he "saw the gleam of the sunrise coming over the eastern Yes, he saw the time when rig,hteousness would claim its (118- ciples as well as the time wlien the enemies of God should .be hurried away to thole eternal incarceration "What of the night, Isaiah?

But as a watchman I must not al- low my eyes to follow only one class of people. While the theatre audi- ences are moving through the streets to witness these distorted and oft -en impossible plays, through the open iloors of tne saloons can e,ee the stages on which are being enacted, ecores and hundreds and thousands of tra.gedies in. real life.
