LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
That Mnsuuernde Ball.


 A Methodist minister in the Hudson River valley, under date of August IT., writes to the NEWS as follows:
 1.-The item of news from Pine Grove, which appeared in last weeks paper of masquerade ball at the Mountain View Inn on Saturday night, the 8th, which you speak of as an innovation, I fear will do much harm, at least to the good name of the camp meeting association, if not to the interest and attendance of the religious services to be held during the week of August 23 to 30, and for this reason, viz: Very many loyal and true Methodists, who believe such en- tertainments sinful and in violation of the rule of discipline of the Church, will withdraw their support of or attendance on the camp meeting.
 The facts in the case are: The camI meeting has nothing to do with, or con. , trol over, the entertainments at Noun. tain View Inn previous to the time o1 camp meetings. AS a public inn, the guests have the privilege of holding such entertainments, when not interfering i with or in opposition to the religious services on the camp grounds. If there are members of the Methodist Churcl who as guests attend and support z masquerade ball, it is a violation ot their covenant with the Church, fol which the Church is not responsible.
 On the question of social amusements the Methodist Episcopal Church has drawn the line so clear between the Church and the world; that He who runs may read, and there is no need ot | any member of the Methodist Churcl being in error regarding what the Church holds and teaches as a rule o1 faith and practice. .. The attempt which is made from time to time to associate the Church with tht world on social amusements is pre- sumptive evidence of the separateness O the Church from the world" R.

When we contemplate the legion of different kinds of so called breakfast foods'' on the market, and the fact that millions of people use canned goods of every description, eat and drink all kinds of adulterated food and beverages, wear transparent garments, keep late hours and turn night into day, we wonder how our grandparents managed to exist on good wholesome food and beverages, fresh fruits and vegetables, fish and meats, good salted fish and meats, nourishing home-ground -four and meal, wear comfortable and sensible garments and work by daylight. Never theless our grandparents were not con- fronted with the servant girl problem, neither did they depend on the stores and markets for their next meal of victuals. They were healthy, hardy, happy race, social and hospitable, lived to good old age, reared large families and never heard President Roosevelt t's opinions on race suicide.
