After the thirteenth hymn was sung. Bishop
Potter introduced Prof. I. O. Cowling. of the
University of Louisville, Ky.. who spoke as fol

DR. COWLING's ADDRESS.
It was just after the war, when polities were
rnning high. that a Southern Bishop visited
Washington to represent the evil deeds of
the--tte gentlemen with scaigt baggage. He
fell in with a Northw-stern politician not un
known in impolite circles, who, so far from giv
ing him comfort. showered upon him his hatred
for the fallen foe. "Do you count yourself a
Christian man?" said the Bishop. "I do," re
plied the politician; "I am a member of the
Methodist Chur.t.' "And will you tell me
wherein your Christianity is to be distinguished
from the world?" "Yos," was the reply; "I
don't swear and I don't dance." However true
this anecdote may be (and I got it, by the way,
from a Bishop). it is an undeniable fact that the
etbhodists look upon both accomplishments of
dancing and swearing with unmixed horror.
in heir book of liseipline they provide for the
trial and expulsion of members for a "third
o ene" in dancing, playing atgames of chance.
attending theatres, horse races circuses, danc
ingparties or patronizing dancing schools. In
a serpon once heard by the speaker, delivered
by a Baptist olergyman-a gentleman who now
ocepBes one of the most important pulpits of
that denomination in the country-he said: "I
see my Lord crucified anew when I see Christian
men and women dancing." and although this
may hqve been the somewhat florid expression
tf one ltdividual, it was in a measure the senti
mIeat of the denomination against this amuse
Baptists and the Reform Baptists (the
pa ore of Alexander Campbell) are congre
al in their government, and do not eoact
lastical laws of general application; but
dividual churche, are opposed to dancing,
ý..Q.provlesion is m Wde in many of them for ex
peling members who indulge in it. This is cu
S.Os on the part of the Reformed Baptists, as
t distinguishing feature is the rjection of
Seeds the adoption of "the broad platform of
te ile " anl the acknowledgment of indi
vidualQpinion in its interpretation.
Dr. Heeker a Presbyterian clergyman and
president of Hanover College in Indiana, ends
l½ith this appeal in an argument against
e sorrows of many pious parents whose
ohil ren have stifled conviction in the dance;
bthe death agony of many youths whom this
amugement has sent apparently unprepared to
meet God; by the grief of parents whom it has
sent to untimely giaves; by the ampl,.testi
1mna of the world, the church, and the Word of
abd aiinst it, I entreat you touch not the un
The Prsb yterian Church joins in commend
ing the individual expression of this gentle
faor in 1818 it declared in General Assem
S"that the greatest danger is to be appre
heeded to religion from dancing." In 1865 and
16 the Southern Assembly enacted laws
:againsit, and this year at New Orleans it was
again confirmed and details given. It dis
courages the modern dance, and urges Chris
Ian parents not to vatronize dancing schools.
It commits offenders to the "church sessions."
vith a recommendation to mercy, declaring
'that in most ca-es it is the result of thouuht
Lessness or ignorance." During the debate Mr.
Rennedy, from Tennessee. remarked that card
laying and dancing have nearly obliterated
line between the church and the world.
The Roman Catholic Church has declared
a inset round dancing in a national council at
altimore, taking the ground that the sin lies
in the excess. Such is the view also of the Uni
tarians. The Church of England and the
American branch have not considered the mat
ter directly. The denominations who condemn
the dance are also op posed to the theatre. "The
theatre we have always considered a school of
immorality," said the Presbyterians in General
Synod. When the Tremont Theatre in Boston
cws converted into a Congregational church Dr.
her rejoiced that a temple of Satan had
e converted int ) one of the Lord.
Last year Dr. Talmage preached against the
actors, and remarked: "I have fired many shots
into the camp of the devil, and, judging by the
uSttering I see, I believe I hayv hit him at last."
The Engliish Church is the only one of the prin
ll bodies of Christians which has not con
dmned the stage. The Roman Church regards
t at the present play with comparative mintffer
.ee but in the last century vied w-tt Puritan
tI In its persecution of all its abettors, and
deied the communion and the ritrs of burial
to actors. Moliere. too. only es aped unconse
ed ground by the cunning of the King, and
ineohad to recant. There was not a breath
.ait Garrick and Siddons, and Oldileld was
saken with regal pomp to the Abbey.
The Episcopal Church of America, possibly
with the exception of a single di')cese, has had
nothing to say against hoe stage Cushman and
Adams are in the communion of saints. There
have been individual expression{ of clergy
men. In one instance imitati',n of the severest
joman persecution was indulged in, when
'The Little Church Around the Corn-r" was im
mortalized. Many laymen look with evil eye
upon the stage, but they are in a g eat minority.
Itwill be remembered, too, that the clergyman
who refused to bury the dead actor has joined a
more liberal organization, wherein he could
exercise his particular conscience in such mat
ters without remark.
This is the official record and the exact meas
ure of condemnation which certain religious
bodies have impo-ed upon ihe drama and the
dance, and it is not too strong to say that these
two amusements are considered by many to
constitute a greater portion of that worldliness
against which the Apostle preached.
Theconsideration given by the religious world
to the drama and the dance is not over-estimat
ed in its importance, as none others have at
tracted so much attention. The circus is only
an occasional visitor; horse-racing is confined
to a few localities; dueling has lost its attrac
tions; gambling and drinking deserve no such
gentle term. The drama and the dance are par
e~ceUence the popular amusements.
I make the plus for the dance that when re
strained properly it belouga to the field of taste
and nIt of morals, as it is not condemned in the
sa..ored writings. The oppon nts of the modern
dance explBin its scriptural introduction and
recognition in the words of Dr. Hecker who
.as "it was performed on great nationausl and
eligous occasions by the sexes separately as a
spiritual exercise, and its perversion to amuse
ment was regarded, as a sacrilege associated
with condemnation or circum-tance of horror."
This is the narrative of Herodias'daughter;
human nature does tiot change; it is natural
for youths to dance as for lambs to skip. I will
not discuss the ancient dance especialy upon
' the charge of its separate performance by the
sexes, but will content myself wlh thinking
that it the Hebrew maid was not asked by the
Hebrew lad to join him, or that the Greek and
Boman youth of ether sex pursued their
melancholy men ures avart, the modern dance
has improved then in politeness as well as
.leasure.. ..
Lancing is a ruonRal amusement ann ap
Sto the natural senses, and springs spon
louly to the sound of music, s one of the
te arts, with principles as decided as th ,sa of
Ssintating or music, and a greater effort of geni
us is required to produce a distinct dance than
a picture or a melody. Half a century elapsed
between the ,rinuet and the waltz.
Itis a healthful exercis", and the muscular
vity called into play cannot be excelled, and
also amusing, wlich is so often ignored.
Hundreds of dumb bell and Indian club vic
tims waste their energies; deluded invalids
wak weary miles up and down porches, and
no better and dine rether worse. Health
Mift ive better results, as there is the daily ex
aitement of watching the scale go up as the
mysterious cylinder is revolved. These health
seekers are prevented by age and their call
ing from reso~ting to the dance, nut they will
find more tonic influence in half a dozen games
of whist.
I dare assert that in spite of heated rooms and
endue excitement whien have been urged
agalnst dancing as an exercise, there is an in
crease of health.
I have not answered for its moratity, upon
which alone the church is concerned. Its asso
ciations are sinful, it is urged: its positions are
Indecent; it leads away from religious th sught,
and it wastes the lime for which.we are to ac
count. Very worldly gentlemen may hesitate
to ask ladies to view ballets of a certain "ort,
and mothers of n, t very straight-laced views
may forbid their daughters to engage in round
danting, yet dancing is not to be condemned in
otot. because the can-can exists is no reason
Why we sh'ould not have c tilions
The square dance is almost obselete, and the
German encroaches on the evening more antd
more, and round dances grow in importance. I
do not stop to mention vhat may be said
against it, but what may be urged inlits behalf I
must in honesty transcribe. In regar i to its
attitudes I have questioned young men skilled
in round dances as to wh,"ther the agserfion
r that they excited immo tist toug' ts was true,
a e'd the answer has invariably teen that they
he st)edai ily engaged wi; h the measure anti

one may ndeed pity the Lady Hews who, iv
ing to four-seore years are found danoing with
the foolish virgins and are called at last from
the sound of a May-fair fiddle;" but when
youth, strength and romance are ours we may
seek it without sin, but with thanksgiving and
praise for the opportunity.
I beg leave also to make a plea for the theatre.
Ashort time avo the Young Men's Christian
Association in Baltimore invited Edwin Booth
to read for their benefit and he declined, saying
that they must receive him in his war paint and
in his feathers or not at all; that if it were right
for him to take a dozen Parts it was right lor
him to take one. The religious world makes
very curious distinctions and I do not believe
the condemnation extends to private thea ri
cals. People will go to amusements in a public
hall who will not enter a theatre. It is not
wrong to go to a conert, and with a little strain
an opera or two may be taken in. In analyzing
the theatre it is difficult to say where the Im
morality of the theatre lies.
Tertullian said the actor could not expect to
be forgiven, because he strove to add a cubit to
his height and habitually falsified his face, and
now that the buskin is abolished fr.im the
stage, a little of the paint of society takes the
place of the mask. We have no such indecen
cies on the English and American stage as on
the French in later days, and the poosuaeo
will not stand any scoff at religion. Virtue is
always duly rewarded in our Mlays and vice
punished. Cassius. presented with all the skill
of B'oth or Barrett. receives not one-half the
a olause which A ,,tony gets.
It is charged that expressions so broad are in
troduced in the modern drama that modest
cars cannot hear them without shock. But
does not the remedy lie in pruning rather than
in destruction? The modern editions have cor
rected in the main the magnificent productions
of the English classic drama when our fore
fathers were in the habit of calling spades by
their names, and people who have only ex
amined Snakespeare in the closet need not ex
poct to be shocked by the boldness of the ex
pressions he used.
It is charged, too, that the morals of the actors
are considerably below par. This is a pretty
hard phase of the question to deal with. It is
so difficult to get a standard of comparison for.
Shall we take an equal number of stockbrokers,
playing daily upon a legitimized green table; a
comrn any of charitable bankers, of philanthropic
milliners and mantua-makers (there would be
an opening for reform) shall we take the bar
of any particular city? But I must not involve
the professions. So far as I have been able to
judge, actors are a go,d sort of people. Their
life giv, s them kindly hearts. H,,w tenderly
they rallied a few weeks since round the death
bed of one of their leaders. I do not believe
they are ambitious to be classed among the pre
eminently pious persons, but they do not cer
tainly rank among the worst. There is whisky
drunk and cards played and an occasional scan
dal set afloat in which they have no part.
Objection has been made to the nature of the
drama, and that it is fiction, in fact. This can
not stand, unless we condemn other fields of
literature end art. There is no audience so
rude which the impression the drama conveys
will not fascinate, and the religious world
misses a grand opportunity when it does not
use it for its purposes. The people are going
to have amusement of some kind. "Jack Shep
pard" and "Dick Turpin" may be bad, but, at
any rate, they are better than bear-baiting and
cock fighting. Abroad the State grants sub
sidies to the stage, and in times past the Church
did employ it.
Dion Boucicaultgives as a chief reason for the
decline of the drama the commercial manazer.
This individual is no philanthropist; but I
know of one, who, to elevate the taste of the
community, suffered pecuniary loss. He is
going to supply the demand, and, if all the good
people stay away from the theatre it is not un
likely that immoralities w;1l creep in.
I will pass by the frequency with which the
laws which forbid amusements are broken. Tue
sin of theatre-going seems to be chiefly when it
is done at home. Abroad it seems to be right
enough where no offense is given to the breth
ren. In regard to dancine, how many evan
gelical girls are there who stay away from par
ties on this account? And how many mammas
of a serious turn of mind who are not desirous
of giving their daughters the best opportunity
their condition could afford?
I am aware of the fallacy of the argument, bi
cause the church rules are broken they are nec
essarily wrong; but when there is such a wide
discrepancy between theory and practice as ex
ints in the matter under discussion, we may
well inquire whether in one or the other there
is notlome desperate flaw.
"Tempta ion' might frame enough to put
the world in a cloister. A good lady of Con
necticut explained to me how some one had
died of darnk. He commenced with a fondness
for soda water, she said, then to ginger pop,
and aferwards heads ng to the devil. The
world has to be faced: if the terribly good peo
pie mixed more with the crowds which form it,
and if some of their piety did rub off the other
side would get the benefit. The devil, I imagiue,
likes the footlights and the ch Lndelter no bet
ter than he does the broad glare of day. and
directs no more the comedi s than the trage
die- of life; and I firmly believe that though one
may smile he mey be saved. "Only amusing,"
said Robby Dunglison. the phbysiologist. Only
amusing; why, amusement I look upon as one
of the chief ends of lse: I am never better
physically, mentally and morally than when I
am amused; and Dr. Dunglison was a man who
not only studied the laws of this life, but we
thought was trying his best to be ready for the
one to come.
