Is Dancing Wr ng ''? .
The Rev. H. T. Crossly, the -singing
revivalist, who is laboring with much
eucceeem Goderich just now 'preached
a Sermon on "Dancing "the other Sufi -
day evening. From an excellent report
given in the Signal we quote the follow-
ing:
The text was Ecclesiastes 3: 4,-" A
-time to dance.!' Some people say the
Bible tells us that there .is • a time to•
dance, and they quote those words in
support of their claim. -In that same
connection, however, you will read there
is a "time to kill." You' may as well
saY that that means there is a time when
it is right -to commit murder, The wise'
man meant that there is a time when
such things are done. Let me say here,
and I say it not with any Vanity, I used
to dance, and so I know what lam talk-
ing about. I danced when I was so
young that the ladies used to often lift
me off, my feet; I was so little niy feet
would hardly touch the ground Ss we
whirled around. But I gave up dancing
at the same time that I gave upj-" kis-
sing plays," because I came to th, con-
clusion that there were liberties ' taken
at such times which I did not wi4h any
en to take with my sister, and that I
should not take with any:of the o poeite
sex. Some will -say, . " I ; do abo mate
these ridiculous kissing plays." Only
the most illiterate will hold to tht form

any one does, I will be glad if y u will
tell me wherein you digaeree' wi h me.
The subject is not "13allbs."- We score
them out straight. " Well," say one,
"those little dancing parties s,t our
agree with me in every particular
I give my views on the question o
ing. I think that those ena
of the dance, as well as those app
it, will endorse my position on th
tion. I haveeeever yet had mi
houses, where we get a few frien
have a little dance in the ',parlor;
you do not condemn these ?" No
reference to these dances, I want
five different questions. .
The five questions asked arid a
ed were e (1).Is it expedient for
tians to dance? (2) Will Chi
want to dance? (3) Is it proper
lady and gentleman to danee ? (4

We give the remarks of the re
gentleman on the third question :
' Is it proper for a lady and gen
to dahce ?- The last dance -I was
in Hamilton, when I was __pasta
church inthat city. I didn't expect to
be' at a dance; We had been invited to
a private concert, and at ,abouteleven
o'clock, when we had alle our. inging
over, the . host asked the reIli aining
guests, " Can any one play a wait?" A
lady took her place at the piano, end all 1
at once a couple of young gentlemee had!
a couple of young Whet; by the waist
and were whirling about the room. I
didn't like it, because I knew that they
were aware of the fact that I was
istee. I left the room becaus,e I
think it was right for. a minister
Gospel to be. present at ae_ dance
lady- of the house wanted the dc
stop, but the husband didn't, and as a
guest Ididn't -wish to dictate to my
_host. :After a while the husbandi came
to where Iswas siting, off the dancing
room, and we had a quiet diseussion on
'the subject of dancing. ' I said to him:
:" Now, suppose I asked- a Young lady to
upper, and corning in I would. put my
arm just where I put it ii the dance, she
would slap me in the face, and if she
didn't I would not respect her. Why
does she allow it in one instance and not
in another? Mere conventionalism.
And suppose your wife was talking to
Me in this room, and as we sat on the
sofa together, or near one another, I
pieced my arm around her waist as I
would do in a, dance, and you came in
and saw us, . what then r_ " Well,"
said he, "I guess you would have to
leave pretty fast." (Laughter.) Now,
my friends, did I put it too- strongly?
That gentleman thought it was not
Wrong for a man to place his arm around
his wife's. waist, or any lady'waist, in a
dance ; but it was a terrible thing to do
if the lady and gentl man were having a
ii
quiet little talk i ! the parlor alone.

th re were no ladies to dance.with and
the gentlemen danced alone, all soon
declared that it was the dullest thing
imaginable. (Smiles.) Do ladies the

Now, if you are ladies, you Would be in-
dignant if any man took the same liber-
ties with you in your home or the -parlor
thas he does in the dance. Let me illus-
trate it this way. ' Suppose to -morrow
I call upon some lady who has been in
the habit of dancing; We have a friend-
ly talk together, but just before I leave
I place my hand about her waist as has
often.been done before in the waltz, and
suddenly some person enters the room.
I lea've that house hurriedly, and in dis-
grace, and very soon the newspapers of
Canada, and the United States and. Eng-
land will haece an teem beginning like
this : ," Rev. (?) H. T. Crossley, who
calls himself an evangelist, while visit-
ing the house of a highly respectable
lady hi Goderich the other day, attempt-
ed liberties of such a character that he
was ejected from the houee without
much ceremony." That • is what the
papers would say. *I would leave town
by the morning train, (laughter) and my
work as. an evangelist would be at an
end. Now as to these liberties of the
dance, some people, because of the cus-
tom, will allow these liberties to be
taken, and allow- them with pleasure;
but some do not allow the liherties with
pleasure, but permit them because of
custom and 4onventionalism. I will not
speak of th' 'se ladies, who want those
liberties to be taken, but to the others
I, would sa',1 if you would slap a man in
the face if ie took those same liberties
out of the dance, why permit him to
take the sane attitude toivard you' at
any other ti ie ? Miss P—, of . S ,
f
was a lover f dancing, bec-ause, as she
claimed, it added grace to her moi -e -
meats. She held out at the meetings/on
this point Later on she came to me
and said, .' '1 Mr. Crossley, as a lady I
would now e ashamed to ever" think of
dancing." S e*had-got to view the mat-
