Notes By The Way

To dance or not to dance is a question chat has tbeen at timers much discusse in certain Protest- ant churches which had made rules the-t shut out their membe s from participating in this pastime with those of the opposite sex. The mod- ern tendency has been to relax or evade these rules. which in time came to be honored as much in the bréhcb as in the observance. has been remarked that in -the United Church ol Canada there is no special restriction imposed with regard to dancing, or" smoking to- bacco. During the long and heated controversy on the question of church union we once beard the remark that the unanimity with which one of the negotiating churches had accepted the union wns partly accounted for" by the fact that "ministers would now he allowed to smoke and the girls to
