PROHIBITED sEMENr LIST
Methodist Conference Refuses to Alter
Discipline.-A Large Majority
Against the Measure.

Los Angeles. Cal. May 2S.-By the
decisive yea and nay vote OF AL to lS8
the Methodist general conference yes
terday afternoon decided not to make
any change In the church discipline In
the matter Of prohibited amusements,
The question is one which has agitat-
ed the minds of the delegates to the
present general conference perhaps
more than any other single problem
that has been before 1t.
The church at large took wide In
terest In the subject of the proposed
striking out of the specified prohibited
amusements from the discipline and
many memorials and petitions from
all parts of the country reflected pop
ular opinion in the church on the mat
ter. In all sixty-hve have been re-
ceived, fifty-fve of which opposed any
change in the discipline on this point.
and ten favored various changes. A
single petition from Binghamton. New
York, bearing 1000 signatures. was
one of the protests against against any
change being made.
The question came before the con-
ference to-day in the report of the CON-
mittee on the state of the church on
this subject. There were two reports.
The majority report recommends as
follows: -
Your committee declines to recon-
mend the striking out of the specified
amusements from paragraph PAS of the
discipline. 1t recommends that the fol-
lowing paragraph be inserted in the
discipline under the chapter on special
advices:
"A mus m ents-Improper amuse-
ments and excessive indulgence in
innocent amusements are serious
barriers to the beginning of relig-
ious life and fruitful causes Of
spiritual declines.
Some amusements in common use
are positively demoralizing and fur
nish the first easy steps to the total
loss OF character. We therefore look
with deep concern on the great in
crease of amusements, and on the gen
eral prevalence of harmful amuse-
ments. and lift up solemn note OF
warning and entreaty: particularly
against theatre going. dancing and
such games of chance as are frequent
ly associated with gambling; all of
which have been found antagonistic
to vital piety. promotive of worldli-
ness, especially pernicious to youth.
We affectionately admonish all our
people to make their amusements the
subjects of careful thought and fire.

amusements in the light of their tend
encies. and to be scrupulously care
full in this matter to set no injurious
example"
