Summary

This tract is mainly composed of two editorials which appeared in the "Christian Advocate and Journal." "Dancing has existed since man first felt too much of joy to stand still, and in every land where the exuberant life of man has not been utterly crushed. It exists in every family today where children are born to a happy lot. To the rich melody of their own gushing laughter, with inimitable grace and faultless time, they trip over the floor till some better than angel folds them tenderly to rest. If anyone objects to such dancing he had better have a physician called at once."
