Herod and the Daughter of flerodiaaerlll
and Murder the (Yonr-omllants of Such a ‘
trance—Inbide In llancinp-Evils or the
Fashionable Dance. '
330031.116, Sept. lid-item Dr. Tul:
mags, who is still absent on his round the
world tour, has selected as the subject oi
today's sermon through the press "Tbs
Quick Feet," the text chosen being Mat
thew xiv. it, "when llorod’s birthday was
kept, the daughter of Herodias danced be-
fore them and pleased Herod."
It is the anniversary of Herod’s birth»
day. The palace is lighted. The highways
loading thereto are all ablaze with the
pomp of invited guests. lords, captains,
merchant princes. the mighty men of the
land, are coming to mingle in the festivi-
ties. The table is spread with all the luxu-
ries that royal purveyors can gather. The
guests, white robod and anointed and per-
fumcd, come in and sit at the table.
Music! The jests evokoroars of laughter.
Riddles are propounded. licpnrtee is in-
dulged. Toasts are drunk. The brain is
befoggcd. The wit rolls on into uproar
and blasphemy. They are not sotislivd
yet. Turn on more light. Pour out more
wine. Music! Sound all the trumpets.

"poetry of motion. " Their soul whirls in

All the magnificence of his realm is as

that whirls on tiptoe before him. ills
body sways from side to side, correspond
‘ing with the motions of the enchantrcss.
His soul is thrilled with the pulsations of
the feet and bewitched with the taking
postures and attitudes more and more
amazing. After awhile he sits in enchant-
ed silence looking at the flashing, leaping,
bounding beauty, and as the dance closes,
and. the tinkling cymbals cease to clap.
and the thundcrs of applause that shook
the palace begin to abate, the enchanted
monarch swears to the princely performer,
“Whatsocvcr thou shalt ask of me I will
give it then, to the half of my kingdom."
Now, there was in prison at that time a
minister of the gospel of the name of John
the llaptist, and ho had been making a
great dual of trouble by preaching some
very plain and honest sermons. He had
denounced the sins of the king and
brought down upon him the wrath of tho
foumlvs of tho royal household. At the
instigation of her motlwr, Snlomo takes
advantage, of theoxtravngnnt- pmmiso of
the king and says. " llrimr mo the bond of
John the linptist on a dinner pinto."

Syharls was a great city, and it once

old ruinstrel played a certain tune the
homes would rear and with their front feet
south to beat time to the rnusic. Well,
the old mlnstrcl was offended with his
country, and he went over to the enemy,
and he said to the enemy, ”You give me
the mastershlp of the army, and i will de-
stroy their acornswhen those horsemen
calm from Syharia” So they gave the
old minstrcl the management, and he
taunht all the other mlnstrels acertain

strels playeda certain tune, and at the
