DANCING.
Sir, —Your remarks anent dancing t are opportune in view of the fact that this question re very much before the Auckland public at this juncture.
The controversy arose around an address given by the Rev. J. W. Kemp, in which one must realise that the objective aimed at largely determines the matter given. In ; ; his I take it that your remarks are hardly aimed at the same target. His ideal would be a vital Christian spiritual living. Yours, I take it, would be a vitality of living only. His would urge life in terms of the Christ desire ; yours in terms of the human desire. He would interpret life in terms of helpfulness to the weakest of his brother man ; yours woujfl 'be in terms of “I live, and I alone.” Personally, I think that there is little need of a controversy on such a master. The whole question is decide:! in those .words, “Let be persuaded in his own mind.” It then follows that those who. are trying ro interpret life in terms of fitness for the Kingdom o 1 Heaven will neve" agree with those who interpret it m terms of the kingdom of desire and experience. Mr Kemp was evidently endeavouring to be a finger-post fo p His Master Christ. You, I take it, Mr Editor, act in that capacity for your paper’s interest. PBO ARIS ET FOCIS.
