National Divorce Law.

The feature of yestel days session of
the conference was the episcopal ad-
dress. which contained several recon-
nendations of national Importance.
The chief of these besides the recon-
mendation concerning amusements,
was that advocating a national di-
vorce law and a protest against vio-
lence against the Chinese and Japan
csc ON the Pacific coast and the ex-
clusion acts affecting those two ma
tionalities. 8
In making their recommendations
concerning the matter of amusements
the bishops stated that they thought il
was one that should be left to the in
dividual to decide. They did moi even
suggest that they think dancing,
theatrego:ng, etc, right, suggesting
that such a question was dependent
upon the wisdom of the members of
the general conference to decide.
The paragraph which the bishops
propose shah be amended us to Jake
out the prohibition against the amuse-
ments specified above is a farreach-
| ing one In that division OF the church
law setting forth the causes for which
member can be tried and expelled
or suspended from the church fellow
ship it appears Under the section on
Imprudent and Unchristian Conduct.
After setting forth various kinds OF
conduct which come under this char
acterization it states that the mem.
bers of the church shall not indulge in
dancing, playing games OF chance
attending theatres, Horse races, CIR.
cuses, dancing parties, or patronizine
| dancing schools, etc, and it is these
words which tine bishops nave recon-
mended to be stricken out, making
the paragraph read shall not indulge
in the manufacture or sale of intoxi
eating liquors or such amusements as
are obviously Of misleading or ques
tionable moral tendency, etc"
