Not only is there ragtime in music, there is ragtime in everything.
There is ragtime literature, the funny paper, sensational
novels and detective stories. There is ragtime ball playing, the typical
negro game, the noisy "aleky" kind. There is ragtiriie in dress,
the freakish, extreme styles. There is ragtime worship in the church,
the light common "jig" songs. There is ragtime evangelism, the average
modern evangelistic meeting. There is ragtime all about us
everywhere. It never elevates, never produces dignity, strength, conservatism
and power. It is always weakens and lightens; results in
"raggy" frivilous minds and lives. It should be avoided carefully
and persistently.-E4
