REV. JOHN F. MESICK--_Dear Sir:_ On last Sabbath evening, 8th
inst., you preached a sermon to our congregation on "_The Evils
of Dancing_." As this is a custom which is in much practise even
by those who consider themselves patterns in society, and, who
generally comprise the youth, and say that it is an innocent
amusement. We would esteem it as a favor if you would furnish us
with a copy thereof for publication that it may be circulated in
our Sabbath Schools, among the votaries of dancing, the parents
and friends of those who have been assenting to it, in the hope
that they may read it and learn its evil consequences, and
abstain from its practice hereafter, and be satisfied that its
use is not in character with the present age, whatever may have
seemingly commended it in former days.
