liability of the members Of the church
and at the same time will not injure
their morals. Times have changed
since the Methodist church first put
those amusements on the forbidden
lit and the church has not kept pace
with public sentiment. which finds
all of the m harmless when conducted
under proper conditions. The great
problem of the day is how so get the
young people into the church and
keep them there. 1t is not necessary
to turn the churches into public dance
halls to do this, but let the church
remove the ban they have plcced on
these amusements and IT will retain
it's hold upon the young people.
The church to be successful must be
progressive as we'll as the age.
