The Skating Rink.

By Editor

THE clergy and physicians are uniting in their protest against the skating rink; the physicians on account of the injury done to health on the roller skates, especially to the health of girls, and the clergy on account of the greater injury done to the morals of both sexes. From the best information we can obtain (for we were never at one) we believe they are proving a curse to every community where they exist; and we advise parents to keep their children away from them. We have thought much over this matter, and now make this statement from a sense of duty.
