ADOPT PLAN or WESLEY.
METHODIST BISHOPS WOULD LIFT
BAN ON ADJUSTMENTS.
Say People Should be Left to Judge
for Themselves as to What is
Right and Wrong.

Minneapolis, Minn.-"The American
people are far too advanced longer
TO be restricted by church rules as
to what their amusements shall be.
The rule prohibiting dancing, card
playing, gambling and going to thea
ters, circuses and horse races, there
fore.s should be abolished"
This is the gist of a report present
ed to the general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church by the
board of bishops.
In recommending this radical
change. the "a active bishops stipulat-
ed that the church, however, should
not be Indifferent on these subjects,
but that the people should be left to
Judge for themselves as to what is
right or wrong in amusements, having
before them only the injunction of
John Wesley, which forbids "the TAX
ing of such diversions as cannot be
taken in the name of the Lord Jesus"
The bishops declared the church re-
iterated it's opposition to theatergoing
and gambling, but the rule in force
since 1872 could not fix point be-
tween "the turf and the stock mar
ket."
The bishops report was delivered
by Bishop Earl Cranston of Washing
ton, d. c., and it formed the second
section of the Episcopal address.
1--WE 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
return to the consistent treatment
of this subject by Wesley, and the
more earnestly because we are deal
ing with the American people and the
intelligence of the twentieth century.
"As a church we cannot approve
dancing and theatergoing. They are
questionable amusements. To us as
to several of our sister churches they
who justify these amusements as
consistent with the spiritual life seem
to manifest a deplorable lack of spir-
itual perception.
Again we stand unitedly against
gambling and we recognize clearly
that it is the same sin in Wall street
that it is in the lower resort, but
we have never ventured legislatively
to fix the point where the race track
gambler, passing from the turf to the
stock market, becomes a respectable
business man eligible to church mem
bership and the chairman of the board
of trustees.
"In our absolute helplessness before
this question we must continue to
allow the world to suspect that the
larger the stake and the more reck-
less of public veal the gain, the less
vicious the crime, provided the win.

predicted even before we had started.
But as the convention draws to

n splendid record of constructive
craftsmanship has been made. and as
to its decisive ratification at the polls
there seems to be no question.
