Borrowing Heaven's Livery

THE extent to which worldly sport is willing to go in its effort to minister to the desires of its devotees was recently illustrated in an incident which occurred in Atlantic City, N. J. The authorities prohibited beach dances on Sunday, and ordered that the bands should play only sacred music in the concerts which they gave on that day. Arrangements were made whereby several of the dances were adapted to the tunes of Old Hundred, Rock of Ages, Sweet By and By, etc., and groups of merrymakers danced the tango to these tunes. This verily is borrowing the livery of heaven in which to serve the devil.
