BISHOPS FOR Change
Would Abolish Church Rule
Against Amusements.
PEOPLE TOO FAR ADVANCED
Report to General Conference Favors
Removing Restrictions.
PEOPLE TOO FAR ADVANCED
HARD TO DRAW DEFINITE LINE
Opposition Remains, But Church
Cannot Fix Point Between "the
Turf and the Stock Market

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, May 3-.The
American people are too far advanced
longer to be restricted by church rules
as to what their amusements shall be.
The rule prohibiting dancing, card play
ing, gambling and going to theaters cir
cuses and horse races, therefore. should
be abolished"
This is the gist of a report presented
today to the General Conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church by the board
of bishops.
In recommending this radical change
the twenty-four active bishops stipulated
that the church, however, should not be
Indifferent on these subjects. but that the
people should be left to judge for them
selves what is right or wrong in amuse-
ments, having before them only the in
junction Of John Wesley, which forbid
''the taking Of such diversions as cannot
be taken in the name of the Lord Jesus. :"
The bishops declared the church reiter-
ated its opposition to theater going and
gambling, but the rule in force since 1872
could not fix a point between the turf
and the stock market
Bishop Cranston Makes Report.
The bishops report was delivered by
Bishop Earl Cranston Of Washington,
D. c.. and it formed the second sec
tion OF the episcopal address. the first
half Of which had been given the day
before
I'VE would joyfully acclaim the day
when every Christian would abstain
from the amusements which have
been prohibited. but we can't repress
our conviction that Wesley dealt more
wisely with the danger
''The bishops therefore recommend a
return to the consistent treatment of
this subject by Wesley and the more
earnestly because we are dealing with
the American people and the intelli-
gence Of the twentieth century.
Cannot Give Approval.
LAS church we cannot approve
dancing and theater-going. They are
questionable amusements. To us as
to several of our sister churches they
who justify these amusements as con-
sistent with the spiritual life seem to
manifest deplorable lack OF spiritual
PERCEPTION.
Again we stand unitedly against
gambling, and we recognize clearly that
1t is the same sin in Wall street that 1t
! is in the lowest resort, but we have never
ventured legislatively to fix the point
where the race track gambler. passing

comes a respectable business man eligible

of the board Of trustees.

question we must continue to allow the
world to suspect that the larger the stake

gain, the less vicious the crime. provided
the winner pays tithes to religion or

Denounced any attempt by any religious

Source Of Constant Agitation.
A resolution which declared that the
amusement clause in the church rules
was "a source of constant agitation and
unrest" which asked for an investigation
by the committee on judiciary, was lost.
This was taken to mean that the full
conference itself desired to act on the
proposed change.
