Shall We Dance?

I recently read the passage from 2 Samuel of David dancing before the ark, and was reminded of this account from the life of John Hyde:

Mr. M'Cheyne Paterson describes Mr. Hyde as 'a great fisher for souls,' and that is very true, for he not only prayed for men, but was a real angler. He would be just for a minute in a room with perhaps a perfect stranger, but it would be quite a sufficient time to open the Bible and show some wonderful passage from the Word, and quietly he would lead the person to the Saviour. We heard of a worldly lady once who thought she would have a little fun at Mr. Hyde's expense, so she asked, 'Don't you think, Mr. Hyde, that a lady who dances can go to Heaven?' He looked at her with a smile, and quietly said, 'I do not see how a lady can go to Heaven unless she dances,' and then he dwelt on the joy of sin forgiven-the overwhelming joy, especially for one who had been living for the world and for self, and he gently appealed to her, as to whether she had experienced this joy, and went quoting the Word of God and begging of her not to be satisfied until this wonderful experience would compel her to 'dance for joy.' We feel sure that she never tried to get any more fun at his expense. Truly Hyde was a fisher for souls.
