Christian friends, a great responsibility rests upon us all, not only to
see that we "keep ourselves unspotted from the world," but that we do
all in our power to drive from our fair land this awful blot and curse.
TESTIMONIALS.
We have just finished reading Mr. Faulkner's book, called "FROM THE
BALL-ROOM TO HELL," and we are profoundly moved by it. We believe
every word of it is true, and that his characterization of the
demoralization and ruin wrought by the modern dance is none too strongly
put.
Surely nothing worse could have been found in Sodom than these Dancing
Academies, as a reason why the righteous God sent fire and brimstone and
destroyed them all. These exposures are as carefully and delicately
written as could be, and yet not fail to be fully understood.
We hope the book will find a wide reading and help to open many eyes
that are blind and startle many that are careless, and prove to be a
barbed wire fence around many homes of the innocent.
May the Holy Spirit of God bless our Christian brother in his efforts to
expose these hot-beds of vice. We advise all pastors and members of our
Churches to read this book, and send it to friends.

'From the Ball-Room to Hell.' I read it through at one sitting, and
hasten to thank you for your noble utterance. I know from my own
experience that every word is true."
REV. S. E. WILSON, in a long and eulogistic letter, says: "This
book fills a vacant niche in the temple of literature, not occupied by

on facts."
