Dance opposition letter presses Christian unity and restraint
A long letter questions modern dance among Christians and names Mrs. General Sherman and Mrs. Frances Willard among others. It argues that church bodies oppose dance, that dancing members rarely attend prayer meetings, and that most church members are women who oppose dancing. It urges the lady to reconsider and cautions against whisky and dancing, closing with a Christian plea. Local notes list meetings, shipments, and a dentist’s visit, plus an ad for Syrup of Figs.
