METHoDIsTs TO DANCE.

Dancing, card playing and theatre
going, diversions most expressly for
hidden in the discipline of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, have been the
bugaboos which have haunted the
Younger members of this denomination
Tor years. The dictum against these
popular forms Of amusement was laid
down when the great mass of Metho-
dists were in sympathy with them.
The trend of the times aud of public
sentiment is toward more liberal views
on the ever mooted question of what
kind of amusements Christians may in
dulge in. AS the Methodist Church
originally drew the line most sharply,
the change of sentiment is more malk-
ed in this denomination than in others.
Now movement is or foot in this
particularly strict sect TO do away en-
tirely with the prohibiiive rules against
special forms of amusement and TO
leave the matter entirely TO the con-
science of the individual church men,
bers. Singular as it may seem, this
movement is not suggested by the
laity, but is being brought about
by the clergy. The prophecy
is freely made by those familiar with
the situation that at the next assemb-
ling of the general conference Of the
church the Objectionable clause in the
discipline will bs eXpunged.-Ncr York
Herald
The sermon p. eached at the Church
of Our Father, in Washington last
Sunday night, by Rev. A. G. Rogers,
pastor. dealt with the social problem OF
dancing and the attitude Of the church
towards it. "We are living at a time,"
said Dr. Rogers. "wheu the old ideas
about ethics are passing away. Any
man who will read the history of
England at the time OF the Puritans
can we'll say that this people
lad good reason fer condemning
dancing. Our congregations do play
cards and do dance, and we cannot lay
down 2ny rules as to what they shall
do. Per Sc there is no more evil in
dancing than in walking. 1t is rot for
ministers to condemn such pleasures,
but rather to condemn excesses." con-
tinued the speaker. 1--WE cannot say
that person may not live pure and
noble Christian life who dances. The
Bible does not legislate against amuse-
ments and it does not go into details on
the conduct of Christians"

A FALSE FRIEND.

A striking case Of ingratitude was
brought to light Saturday when Albert
Wilson appeared at the Central Station
in the City Hall, Philadelphia, and
told the story of the elopement Of his
wife with Thomas Lockwood. The
guilty pair left Wilson's home week
ago, taking with them the six-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson.
Wilson, accompanied by his wife and
child and Lockwood, arrived in this
country from England three weeks
ago. They remained in New York
a week, coming to Philadelphia two
weeks ago. and established their home
in the modest wo.story house on Hell
en- street. The first week was spent
in furnishing the house, and Saturday
week Mrs. Wilson, accompanied by the
child, went out to buy additional furn-
iture. Shortly after Lockwood left
the house and that was the last Wilson
saw of any of them. For week he
wandered about the city looking for
them, keeping his trouble to himself
until Saturday, when, at the suggest
ion of neighbor, TO whom he confid-
ed the story, he reported it to the po-
lice.
Mrs. Wilson took with her S170, al
most all of the money her husband had,
as well as all of the clothes and the
best of her husbands wearing apparel.
Wilson, who was warehouse work.
man in Yorkshire, is - years old and
his wife is 35, although she looks much
Younger. They have been married is
wears. Lockwood, who is dyer. is 50
years old. Wilson met him in York
Shire six months ago and they became
friends. When Wilson decided to come
to this country Lockwood suggested
that he would like to accompany him,
but did not have the money. His
friend, who had saved several hundred
dollars, urged him to come, agreeing
to advance his expenses on condition
that he should pay him back after he
secured employment in America. Un-
der these conditions they came. Wilson
paving Lockwood's passage aud his ex-
penses since they landed in New York.
He suspected no wrong until the de-
parture of the pair week ago and
seems thoroughly broken up over his
misfortune, crying like a child when he
told his story to the police Sunday.
