As I see the sun sink behind th Los Angeles hills 1 see ignited one by one the different lights of thc many places of pernicious 113111150 ment. These different lights, as de- stroying flames, begin to beckon the young men and the young women in- to their fascinating haunts. I see the stage eurtr izls lifted before enemy an alluring group of actresses anc chorus girls, suit ns was seen in the wealthy copital of Samaria on the night wben a dieeeputablo dancing girl, Salome by name, danced among the licentious guests of her stepfath- er, Herod, and by sinuous movements of limb and suggiestive look of sin so captivated the druolcen King that he promised her anything that OM might ask of him, evon to the 11011 of his kingdom. John the Baptist lost his life on account of that dance. But many a man, pot, like John, in prison, bilt In orchestra chair, leas lost his head, both morally and spiritually, as the result, of an emenorat show on the theatre boards. There may be good theatres. I know that scene people whom I reepent attend the theatre. But I knosv there are RASO vile the- atres. I also know 50n4.! of these vile theatres are attended regularly by sotnu so-called good people. And also know that these vile ehows are tlie haunts of spiritual and phy- sical death.

Web, my young friend, you have asked nit a blunt question, and 1 1011 answer you in Just the same way. First, I will say and entphatically say, that I do not believe all young people who go to dance halls are intentionally bad. I believe, yes, I know, some of them go there without one impure thought. They go for the pleasure of meeting other young people and of passing an evening in each other's company. In the next place 1. will emphatically state that I believe one ot the most pevniciotre, one of tho most awful causes of spiritenil death in our cit- ies to -day is the dance hall. And in support of no, eecond statement wilt say that in all the United States you cannot find one minister or Myman noted for spiritual or' evangelistic power, 'veto is not an enemy of the dance hall, through ancl through, out and met. They all, 10 11(1001 an excepbton, believe that the dance hall is the clopleter of spir- itual life, consequently they are, and always will be, out and out, through and through, enemies ot this destroy- er, this insidious foe of spiritual life. As 1 spoke.la reference to regular theatre goers, I now in reference to the regular dance hall devotee. You mew 11010 in all yon1t life a perSOTI whO WitS CallaplellottS for her love for the dance hall' who 1005 at the sante time conspicuous for her devotion to the service of Jesus.

The modem Mince is a foe' to all spiritual devel- opment 'and a barrier to progress in the Christian life. .
