Dancing Tabooed.

The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church South has squarely condemned all kinds of dancing. One of tlie resolutions says : “ Some forms of this amusement are more mischievous than others, the round dance than the square, the public ball than the private party, but none of them arc good, but all are evil and should be discountenanced, and we affectionately urge all our Christian parents not to send their children to dancing schools, where they acquire a fondness and an aptitude for the dangerous amusement.”
