WORDS OF COUNSEL FROM THE METHODIST CONFER
ENoE. f
Among the committees of the Methodist Gem
eral Conference, now In session at Brooklyn, is
one on Popular Amusemeuts. In a report on
Monday it thus set forth its views in relation to
this subject, and they received the endorsement
of the Conference
Inasmuch as in popular amusements there are
many subtle temptations. it becomes us as Chris
tian pastors, having the care Of souls, frequent
ly to speak on this subject to our people words
Of caution and advice. We by no means con-
denim amusements Unfortunately they have
their place and value
We would, however, earnestly dissuade them
from those amusements which tend to late
hours, over wrought excitement and which ap-
peal chiefly to the lower propeDsities. In all
questionable amusements we entreat them to be
guided by the Word of God, and to indulge in
none which they cannot conscientiouely approve
Equally, however, we urge them to exercise that
charity which never faileth towards those whose
Christian character is above reproaoh who differ
in Judgment from them concerning the propriety
OF any amusement. AS we are requested to
respect the consciences of Others, we advise each
person to forego those pleasures which he may
deem right for himself, but which are condemned
by the popular Judgment as inconsistent with
the Christian name, or which are discouraged by
the general sentiment of the church
We sincerely believe that by intoxicating use
fulness in our amusements. by just regard for
the sentiment Of others and by considerate treat
ment Of those who err, we may most effectually
control the tendency to frivoity and worldliness
which threatens to mar the strength and eff
cheney of the Church.
