WOMEN AND DANCING.


Women and dancing we're two Of
the chief topics that agitated the
Methodist Episcopal General Confsr-
ence Monday. Committee member
ship was demanded for the former.
and young members at Omaha gave
a decided indicationsof q desire to en-.
| JOY the latter.
The woman's question was sprung
in the form Of a resolution by ]. B.
Maxwell, of Nebraska. asking that
they be admitted to full participation
in the doings ofthe general missionary
committee. The resolution, while ex-
citing much interest was referred
under the rules without discussion.
The project to mix terpsicorean gaisty
with piety came in the shape of
memorial from the Troy Conference
petitioning the General Conferences to
expunge from the Discipline section
242, relating to amusements. or at
least asking that it be modified so
dancing may be permissible.
The memorial is signed by Rev.
William W. Foster, Joel w. Eaton,
William 81. Hughes, John W. Thomp.
son. E. P. Stevens, 3. 3. Sawyer and
several others, all of New York.
Bishop Foster. of Boston. approves
the movement and has given itoffcial
sanction, and will no doubt advocate
its adoption. The memorial is now
in the hands of Che committee on dis
cipline, to whom it was referred.
Rev. Richard Harcourt, Of Grace
NJ. E Church, Lanvale ST., and Carr
rollton Ave-, was seen by o reporter
and said 81 don't know whether any
thing should be said pending action Of
the conference. The rule al it now
stands in our discipline would be .
barrier to the admission of numbers
Of really good people into the church
if rigidly enforced, but it is practically
q dead letter and it is rare that steps
are taken to have the membership
conform to its requirements. Ibelieve
that it would be better to eliminate
this rule than have it remain uselesily
in the discipline, and for this reason I
hope the memorial win prevail.
There is much in our book which to-
gether with this shonld and must be
revised. These are things that may
have had place in the time Of the
past but which are now ont of date
for instance. the rule forbidding the
wearing Of gold ornaments and costly
apparel, and the holding of slaves z
Rev. E. j. Drinkhouse, editor Of
the Methodist Protestant, said /" The
idea is that the rule of the Methodist
church prohibiting dancing cannot be
enforced and the general impression
seems to be that it would be better to
repeal the law than have it ignored.
In many localities it is utterly impossi.
BILE to prevent dancing and serious in.
jury to the church would be wrought
if such a step was attempted. / do
not think the church means in any
way to favor dancing or to make an
admission, BY its action. that it is
right, and the matter may rest in the
hands Of the reference committee for
ever. but it simply means it win not
