THE CHURCH AND DANCING.
At the receut Anglican Mission, a question was asked as to whether dancing was wrong as a means to raise funds for church work. The missioner said the question was one for the vicar himself to decide. Another question asked was : is it wrong Jfor a Christian to dance. The missioner said he could only express his own opinion on this matter. He thought dancing was perfectly legitimate, and although it may be a danger to some it was a matter for the individual conscience to decide- Dancing depended upon the women and if they set before them high ideals of conduct, and refused to dance with men who were rowdy, intemperate or ungentlemanly, no harm could ensue. Although we were free-will agents there was a moral and individual responsiil ity to God.
