have an expression Of opinion on this
point from the lay body OF American

Mr.. Cooper was known as a man Of

and honest business man. He had
been highlf honored by his church and
was particularly active among the
younger members. But he happened
10 lose lis life in a theater, and this

cancel all the good he did and reject

II the Methodists are going TO follow
this rule, there will sooner OF later
be a serious division in the church
Many good Methodists go to the the
ater. They believe In harmless amuse-
ments They contribute to the church.
To be consistent the church must re-
fuse all these contributions.
And when the Methodist church de-
cides TO take no money from any mem
Der who enters a theater or goes to
dance or plays game Of cards,
the church will need big superannu-
alton fund to take care of most of the
pastors who are now drawing salar-
les. The action OF the mission board
is illiberal and contrary to the spirit
of the age and of modern Methodism.

Congress appropriated $4,000 for an
