Bishop Huntington on Skating Rinks

BISHOP HUNTINGTON, in a speech before the Congregational Club of Central New York, denounced skating rinks, saying: "This mad excess which has turned the heads of thousands whose heads have been turned before, is but a product of self-indulgence. In the places where this amusement is practiced, modesty is allured to immodesty, and virtue falls to vice. Societies of virtuous women are raising money and doing what they can to protect female honor in India, and China, and Ethiopia, unmindful of the female honor imperiled at their doors."
