Yesterday’s answer:
c. Music
A number of times,
President Young chastened the critics of dancing by offering the following
opinions on the prevalent religious censure of fiddling and dancing:
“Tight-laced religious professors of the present generation have a horror at
the sound of a fiddle. There is no music in hell, for all good music belongs to
heaven”; “every decent fiddler will go into a decent kingdom”; and “I have
heard many a minister say that there were no fiddles in heaven. At the time I
did not understand as I do now, for I now know that there are no fiddles in
hell. There may be many fiddlers there, but no fiddles; they are all burned
that go there.”

Utah: BYU Press, 1999), 201.
