STREET HIE IS
CONDEMNED 81 OR.
JEIENS IN TALK
"What wad pronounced one of the
strongest sermonS on the subject of
the "Open Town" with special" refer-
ence to Street Dancing and Sunday
Baseball ever dollvered In Abilene Won
that heard at the First Baptist church
Sunday night wiion Dr. Millard A.
Jenkens pastor spoke an hour and a
half against alleged evils that Abilene
Is enduring Tho largo Auditorium of
tho church was almost filled including
tho main floor and tho balcony. Tho
services began at 7i4f. and continued
until after ten o'clock.
Preceding his sermon. Dr. Jqpkens
read resolutions that had been adopted
by tho ministerial union and tho cpl.
lege presidents of tho City and on mo-
tion mado and seconded that the res-
olutions bo approved and mado a pait
of tho record of the church n rising
ole Indicated approximately 00 per
cent favoring the resolutions. "When
the negative pto was taken no one
rose In opposition. The resolutions npr
peaf In another column of this paper.
In opening his sornlon Dr. 'Jenkens
said thai another preacher In tho city
had said to him ''Jenkens purely you
and I can preach against street danc-
ing when the Baptists and Methodists
were so well rcpiosented at the
dance."
"If I did not speak on this subject"
stated Dr. Jenkphs "My silence would
bo mlsunderlood by the chtlrch people
and others of this city. As men wo
must meet on tho battlefield of prin-
ciple and fight it put." Tho pastor
stated that he -was an eyo.'wltness to
1 1 the dance and know whereof ho spoke
wlien he described certain features of
It With roference to tho police turn-
ing the traffic; back and blocking the
street after orders had been given by
the pollco commissioner It was un-
derstood not to l)loek Tic" street and
' not to mnkn any ono move their oar
parked on tho street In question Dr
Jenkens said that ho stood and watch
c4 a policeman for a half an hour be-
fore tho dance. startod turning the traf-
' flc off of the street and making pen.
pie move their ears that had been
parked on tho street where tho dance
was held.
"Tho movement for an open town
started several years ago wlion the
Sunday Chautauqua was permitted to
enter this city. Then tho Sunday
Baseball crept into tlyj city and net
we had tho public street dance and
with tho latter I understand the state-
ment was mado that after this they in.
tend for Ablleho. to bo an open town
and they intend tri do what they want
to" stated tho preacher.
Dr. Jenkens cxp'alned that he w.i3
not quarreling with peoplo who wan-
. ted "to use their homes or buildings
or halls for dancing as long as they
did not disturb the peace of tho com-
munity with their doming but that
he was quarrelling with tho peoplo
who tpok advantage of uslnj tho street
that belonged to all the people and tho
. great majority opposed dancing on It.
"True" Dr. Jenkens stated. "You havo
as much right to danco on tho street
ns I havo to preach on It. but I havo a
place to preach and don't uso the
street and furthermore It thoio Is ob.
lection to pi caching on the street then
it is not permissible any more than
dancing." Dr Jenkens offered to let
the question bo put to a popular vote
of the people as to whether Ktreot
dancing should be tolerated or not and
also offered at tho closo of his ser-
if to come forward and defend the Street
dance and Sunday Baseball
The-pastor sald that the city is pay-
' lng the way for Sunday picture shows
In Abllenei followed by a municipal
'dancing pavilion from which notes
of the Jazz would'float Into tho church
windows "ns tho sons and daughteis
of tho city went on their way to JielU"
Ono by one Dr. Jonkens propounded
his arraignments against the street
dance" naming first thafc It belittled
the good namo of Masrtnry. "I'm not
a Mason" said the preacher "but I've
been taught to look on Masonry as
the highest Ideals of rtll that is best
and finest in relationship between man
and man and despite the fact that a
branch of tho Masons has forced on us
this street dance I w HI not take down
my respect for tho order as a whole.
Would injure City
'In the second plode. it casts a re-
flection on tho good name of Abilene
which city1 Is known thioughout Taxaji
as a city that stands" for tho best and
highest ideals and as a moral and
clean upright city that is desirablo for
a home Peoplo lovp Abileno because
of the Christian Colleges and the splen-
did churches. How many families do
you believe street dancing woUld.
brinff to Abilene?
. "In tho third place It deeply and
painfully injured our Christian Col-
leEOB." I heard a business man av
the other day that many times during
the dry years that ho and other busl.
ness nion In the city would havo gone
bankrupt If 1t had not beon lor the
colleces in the city. I challenge you.
business men to look nt your lodgeru
and notice how September's business
overshadowed the business of the
months when the college Students were
not In the. city.
'Another thing I want to mention s
that this street dance exhibited it spirit
of Bolshevism in that it was; the ef-
fort of tho few to force it on tho ma-
jority." Hero the pastor explained
that If the street dancers thought they
were in he majority ho would leae It
to a vote of the city. "They waned to
show us that they could have tljo street
dance. I'm for the youth of tho land
having a good time but lat. It be
wholesome amusemont that will not
reflect on tho morals of the city and
the plaTOrvthat tho city holds ot should
hold in tho state"

Resolutions Which
Condemn Street Dance
Passed By Churches
Opposition against the street dance
which was conducted on Cypress street
last rridny night between North. Sec-
ond and Third broko loose yesterday
In tho chuiches of Abilene Resolut-
ions wero presented to the churches
vesterday by tho pastors and college
presidents of .the city and were re-
ceived it In reported with enthusiasm.
Tho rosoluiions follow:
In as much as the tendencies In Abi-
lene aro toward an open Sabbath and
an open city and in as much as this
Would m"aan the destruction of things
that havo made our city the fine city
which Bho really Is be It resolved.
F1KST That We do nt hesitate to
say that tho modern dance is a men-
aco to modern society ortd that we
firmly believe that It Is ono of the most
licentious and most rorrnntinrr in
fluences of American Jlfo That It is
me anetter and the precursor of feat-
ures that lead in the end to such de-
plorable and criminal spectacles as
have today completely disgraced a city
on tho Pacific elope.
SECOND Tht in matters of mor-
als no set or ollmie can with Impunity
run counter with tho laws" of rlght-
oousness and purity and flagrantly
violato tho religious scruples of tho
cverwholmlng majority of our peoplo.
The people pav taxes for Improved
streets for traffic and not for public
dances.
THIRD That wo deeply regret that
permission for a street exhibition of
that which practically all American
churches condemn as tho hand-maid
of evil: and we sorely regret tho posit-
ion taken by the City Commission In
refusing to pass upon tho matter; and
wo further recret thnt in unit nt ti
gentlmeut of a largo majority of our
mtuiiB ami in spito ot the Pollco
Commissioners orders as ho otntes that
the stjteot lp reality Was closed and
tho public danco was furnished police
protection.
FOURTH That we regard all this
procedure as tho preliminary move
ments lowaru wiiat in commonly
.... u. uii iien iown Any olty
the bIzo of Abileno with threo croat
i'rotestnnt colleges and a Cnthollo
ncjiuoi imti iwo great commercial col-
legon and hundreds of students In her
bounds tjwit will sit placidly by and
allow Sunday baseball and public
street dancing. Is fertilo ground for
any popular sin. Tho ntroot dance of
last 1'ilday oenlni Will only further
advertise tho shamo of our city and
will holp to aervo public notico to tho
world (lint wo aro now toady to for-
fiet our positron In thi moral and
