The following is extract from an editorial

tion to the action of the Nj. E, General Confer
ence on the subject of dancing.
81 see in a Pittsburgh daily flaming an
nouncement that the Methodists had changed
front on the subject of dancing; that the Con-
ference is going to repeal the section OF the
Discipline which forbids it, and that Bishop
Foster indorses the change. Now, the sole
foundation for all this is memorial asking for
| a repeal of that section because it contains an
incomplete and unsatisfactory list of amuse.
ments which should be forbidden. and the inser-
tion of general provision which shall cover
all. 1t does not propose retreat but asks a
better statement. 1t implies no change of front
on dancing, or any other.prohibited amusement
| And Bishop Foster has had nothing to 10 with
it or to say about it, So we suggest that it will
be safe for our people to believe nothing on the
