PACE SIXTEEN THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE _ THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1951 South African Church Says Dancing Morals Threat ..Johannesburg, South Africa, (CP) -- Modern dancing is "heath- en" in character and stands con- demned in the light of Christian ethics, says a memorandum drawn up by a commission of the Dutch Reformed Church of the Orange Free State. Stimulation of sex has become the dominant factor in the modern concept of dancing, the commission reported. Set up by the church to combat social evils, it listed reasons why the members thought i was their sacred duty to tell the world why they so strongly disap- proved of the 'popular heathen dances." The commission found no justifi- cation for modern dancing in the scriptures. The few examples of dancing in the Bible were of per- performed rhythmic movements to- , gether with others to express sa- _ ered joy and gratefulness to God. the same thing had : d in heathen religioud ser- ' vices, but debasement intervened "and the rituals became exhibitions of the body and led to abominable 'The commission reported that the mixed dance made its appear- ance in Greece between men of polluted morals and women of * doubtful character. "HEATHEN CONNECTION "Historically the modern mixed dance has its connection with the "heathen dances,"' the commission stated. "In the intense struggle be- tween light and darkness, dancing * stands involuntarily on the side of the latter." © The dommission estimated that 75 per cent of divorces began on dance floors. "It is small wonder that the serious, devoted Christian and even any non-Christians who value purity, are not found dancing." The church, the memorandum said, was not trying to negative the social instincts. It only denied that dancing was necessary for social life." The commission's report was presented to the general synodical commission® of the church, which heard an address by the rector of "the University of the Free State, Prof. H. Van Der Merwe Scholtz. Every effort, he said, was being made by the university council to discourage dancing. They could not prevent the holding of dances, but they tried to encourage other forms of recreation. : "There is no university in South Africa where dancing is not allow- * od," he said. "The behavior of our students at dances compares favorably with that of students at other universi- ties." Over 100 Attend Meéting of Temperance Body MRS. C.
