CHICAGO PASTOR
DEFENDS DANCE
REV. JOHNSTONE MYERS SAYS IT
IS WICKED ONLY UNDER CER­
TAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.
Chicago. Dec. 16.—Dancing was de
tended Monday by the Eev. Johnston
Myers, pastor of Immanuel Baptist
church, in an address to the Methodist
preachers at their weekly meeting.
"When I felt more Umber than I do
now I used to dance," said Pastor
Myers.
He made a general defense of the
social side of church life on the basis
of "broad common sense." In order to
determine whether or not a dance Is
objectionable, he said, the following
questions concerning the dance must
be answered:
"Where was the dance? Whom did
you dance with? How did you dance?"
That isn't all. He even went so far
as to intimate that the drinking of
wine is not necessarily wrong.
"One of the purest, most loyal Chris
tian men I know, one 1 often am with
and think most highly of," he said,
"drinks his glass'of wine every night..
Concerning this practice of his he says
'That's my business,' and Mr. Myers
put the accent on the "my."
Puritan Ideas Out of Date.
"The puritan fathers had their day
and their ways and their Ideas must
not be forced on us," he went on. "Let
the church take a large generous view
of these things. I think our attitude
toward the theaters will change ma
terially twenty-flve years from now.
I don't know what it will he, but it trill
ben change" of attitude. The majority
of your members go to the theaters
and they conceal the fact that they
go.
"We need a broad, common sense
view of these things. There are somo
things I would like to say to you if
you would lcep them in your own
circle and not spread them .abroad, but
1 think I will keep some of them to
myself. You may not like some of the
things I am saying, you are too far
gone, but your children will like them
and so will your children's children."'
Courting in the Churches.
He said the breach between the
church and the world must be bridged
over by social life, and to the objection
which he said had been made to tho
socials as "ctmrting places," he said.
"Well, what if they are? I want my
girl to marry a Christian man, and so
do you. We've got to furnish these
Christian men for them, and how can
we do this better than right in thu
church socials? We have saints in the
prayer meetings, and at: the socials,
and festivals, and entertainments tha
outside world comes in. We don't meet
them in the prayer meeting."

CITIES MUST PAY FOR DAMAGES.
Supreme Court Ruling in Chicago
Case May Strike Springfield
Heavily.
Chicago. Dec. 16.—That cities are H
able for damages in case of destruc
tion of property by mobs was decided
by the Illinois Supreme court yester
day in affirming a judgment for $1,000
in favor of Frank Sturges against the
city of Chicago. The decision was one
of a large batch concerning Chicago
litigants handed down by the court.
Sturges' plate glass window was
broken by a mob on July 15, 1903. In
the case, which was appealed from the
criminal court, an attack was made on
the constitutionality of the legislative
act which "indemnifies the owners of
property for damages occasioned by
mobs and riots."
As damage suits against the city of
Springfield for approximately $100,000
for destruction of property have grown
nut of the recent riots there, the decis
ion will be cited as proving that city'B
liability.
