DR. INGHAM AND DANCING.
The Bishop of Loudon, in opening the new parish hall of St. John’s Walham Green, observed that he understood that the Vicar had received a protest against his application for a dancing license for the hall. As far as he was concerned, the Bishop said, “if dancing is wrong I ought to be hauged on one ot the apple trees in the gardeu of Fulham Palace, for I recently gave a dance there to some three or four hundred boys and girls of the diocese.” Mr Vincent, the vicar, has since explained that he applied for the hall to be used for meetings aud parochial gatherings, aud dancing is included iu such a license. He had uo objection to dancing, aud if the Churchworkers wanted a dance they would be able to have it, but it was not to be supposed that he regarded it as one of his functions to organise public dances.
