MORE LIBERTY FOR METHoOISTS
Movement Inaueurated to Remove
the Ban Of the Church From
Theaters.

Cincinnati, Mar. "a movement to
remove the ban Of the Methodist
Episcopal general conference from
theater-going was inaugurated by the
Rev. w. e. Martin at a meeting OF
the Methodist Ministers association
here and received the Endorsement OF
a majority OF those present. The
present attitude of the Methodist
church, embodied in the discipline,
which says that for the third offense
OF theater.going the offender should
be put on ecclesiastical trial, was de-
clared not only unjust and foolish, but
Iaughable, said Mr.. Martin. When he
had finished some Of the best known
ministers heartily commended hA
stand and urged that the paper be
sent to the amusement committee OF
the general conference to be held at
Minneapolis in May.
