Chicago Ministers Defend Cards, Theaters, and Dancing

The Congregational ministers of Chicago, it seems, think cards, billiards, theaters, dancing, &c., can be baptized, and thus be made good Christian practices. Their reasoning seems to be: We are Christians; therefore if we play cards, dance, go to theaters, &c., that makes those acts Christian; and this is the way to make these things good, by having the church enter into them unrestrained.
