To the Ivlitor: I Mtart with Hev.
Mr. Williams' statement or dogma that
the conditions that surround the dance
never will be right till christian peo
ple make them right. i learned to
lance in a hall where all were not pro-,
fessing christians, but where they did
letcrniine the conditions of the dance,'
uid it wan in that hall that a I'resby-,
terian taught me to dance. He wan a
good man, a banker, and the son of one ;
of Missouri's ex governors. This body I
f people were among the best I ever
knew who patronized the dance but;
what did it do for mtf It introduced;
uic into that amusement which became
n passion with me, to enjoy which I '
was ready tu dance in halls filled with
immorality.
I myself bcunmc a member of the
same church wtiicii my uatu-iiig menu
was a member, but I never consented
to go to the dance nor ever felt like
idling any young man an amusement
which led me closer to ruin than I
want t hem to go, I teen use I entered
the dance niyself, I saw many of
e ils and came m ar experiencing ,
than I can- to tdl. Therefore, I
peak not troiii dogma, hut irmu e
ifiieiice. when I siiv that chri-tian peo
pie should l-ae the dance alone or they
may be brought to where my friend
was who came in sorrow and told me
t hat he regretted that he introduced
tin- into this worldly pleasure that
helped to b ad me into a life of' sin.
A t t'-r preaching six years I got down
on iiiv kio-is al an old time camp meet
ing an sought a pure heart, ami now
I lee the christian religion so much
more than I did the dance. Why not
we preadois tell church members jto
do hkowi-e. I consider the g..O,ol of
I'hrist i ii inNi-iable failuie if it can't
outstrip the deii and his amusements
in Its power to satisfy the soul. It
is n it dogma, but an experience w rought
f -"I in mi moiI. through faith in
I'lirist, which bads me to do-to my
words apropos I he dance with this
si a ira of John New ton 's:
"l.et orld minds the world pursue.
It has mi charms for me, j
( uiee admired its trifles, too,
Mill grace has set me free. ' ' 1

I was at a parly the other night and n lot
..f young girls were guying an old bachelor
and asking him why he'd never married, etc.
lie sprung those ohl gags about "marrying in
haste nn.l repenting in South rnkotn!" nnd
there being "just as good fish in the 8ea as
liiae .hit been caught."' when nne of the girls
remarked: 1 I ltd it ever occur to yon that the
bait might get stale while you were angling
for them .' ' '
In angling for customers we never allow
the bait to get stale around this shop. We
g t in new goods by most every express these
lays. The boss believes in keeping the stock
right up to tin; minute, so tlmt if you rend in
any of the tuagny.incs or home journals of ft
ih food product or relish of any kind you
n i-onie right to this store and see the article
fur yourself. We .just got in n big lot of I'n
ib'nv. ..d"s famous Iteviled Ham nnd Sardines.
We are headquarters for relishes. They cer-
I and plcntv if vour appetite little backward.
