A young Christian lady was tempted to go to a dance. “Are you a Christian?” she asked her first partner. “Good gracious, no!” he replied. “Are you?” “Yes,” said she. “Then what on earth are you doing here?” came the surprised query. Needless to add, that young lady never danced again.

In all our amusements ought we not to ask, “Is there any good in it?” rather than “Is there any harm in it?” Let us never forget that we are “not our own,” for we are “bought with a price” (1 Cor. 6:2020For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. (1 Corinthians 6:20)).
