BISHOP wEEkLTs TELESCOPE

EDITOR STAR:-Bishop Weekly,
editor of the Religious Telescope, has
worked himself up into a tempest of
remonstrance because President Taft
has seen fit to attend two dancing
parties at Washington. He says:
"Of course Mr. Taft wants to APP
pear broadminded and liberal, but
when his wide gauge notions degrade
! the nation to the level of the BALI
room it is time for someone to pro-
test. The churches will experience
more trouble in restraining their
young people who are inclined to-
ward the dance hall than ever before
( because of such a course on the part
of the first man of the nation"
After reading this nearly every one
of us in Hawaii, at least, will begin
10 question the normality of his own
eyesight or perceptive faculties. For
several hundred years,-at. any rate
since the promulgations of the Nicene
Council, the Church" has tried to
RESTRAIN young people" and older
ones, from all sorts of legitimate plea
sures, and made sad failure of it.
Oblivious to the real harm of drink
ing and smoking, the Church" for a
long time devoted a part of its ener-
gies to a crusade against dancing,
card-playing and kindred evils" to
how much purpose we do not need to
go far to see.
The Episcopal church has always
regarded such amusements in the
right light, that is, sensibly, and so
have the Congregationalists for a
long time. The Presbyterians are
coming around very fast, while most
Methodist ministers, being ahead of
their doctrines, look askance upon in
pocent pleasures like dancing and
card playing. But here in Ohio is
bishop of the United Brethren Church
with the old spirit!
Perhaps if Bishop Weekly cleans
his lenses he will find a fly in the
eye-piece at the spiritual end of his
Telescope"
