Kansas City, Kan, March IA
| sane Fourth Of July; the Kansas NJ. E.
conference went on record for it yes
terday. Its final act before adjourn
ment in the Central Avenue church
was the adoption of a resolution
against "the Dissertation of the
Fourth" It is a plea for more dig
nified celebration of the nations birth
day anniversary, which, it declares, is
rapidly becoming a day of frivolity
and waste. Here is the Introduction of
the resolution:
1.-The birthday of Christian nation
of more than 20 millions deserves a
method of celebrating is almost bar
barous, not to say heathenish. 1t
seems to be going from bad to worse
noise and confusion Of all sorts all the
night preceding, and more noise and
confusion all through the day and
we, as a people, losing our heads? Is
real, genuine patriotism a thing of the
past? Have we no care that the young
should be reminded of the great facts
of our history, of the priceless cost of
our institutions, Of the peril involved
in frivolity, of the duty of each to
know the full significance of the times
in which we live %
method of celebrating the Methodist
ministers suggest that people gather in
parks and have speeches and music
with plenty of good refreshments
lemonade especially. 1t is the duty of
the presiding bishop to announce the
assignments of ministers to their pas
torates for the coming year at the end
