things brought to light in this little book, they never would have made one step in that direction. I believe that God has forgiven them, because, like Paul, they did it ignorantly. "I obtained mercy, because I did it _ignorantly_."--I. Tim. 1-13. Reader, if you ever go to one of these places after your eyes have been opened, as they must be now, you cannot plead _ignorance_, but you will sin _wilfully_ and _knowingly._ See Heb. 10: 26, 27. Those who are turned into the paths of shame, of vice, and of crime, are described in the Bible in the following terrible language, and where could a better description be found? "Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. These are _spots_ in your feasts of charity when they feast with you, _feasting themselves without fear._ Clouds they are without water, _carried about of winds_, trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots. _Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own_ SHAME; _wandering_ STARS to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever."--Jude, 11, 12, 13.

This is to certify that I have carefully read this little book, and give it as my honest conviction--from what I have seen and what I have heard from those who have attended dancing parties, balls and hops--that the charges and specifications are true, and believing them to be true, I here promise to use all my influence against _all kinds_ of dancing, while I live on earth. (Here Sign Name.)............................. Try and get four others to sign with you. * * * * * If this little book should be of benefit to any one, I would like to know it. As it is my intention to get out a second edition, I desire to collect all _the facts_ I can in support of the charges and specifications against dancing. Ministers of the Gospel, physicians, and fathers and mothers, can render me great assistance if they will. _Names of correspondents will not be published without special permission_. The
