METHODISTS BATTLE
over DANCING BAN

Minneapolis, Mimi, May Interest
is keen among delegates who assem-
Died to attend the opening here yester-
day of the quadrennial general con-
terence of the Methodist Episcopal
church as to what action shall be TAX
en- on a proposal to change the dis
ciplinarian rules governing amuse-
ments.
The rule prohibits dancing, games of
chance, theater-going, circuses and
horse racing as being "a tendency to-
ward worldliness." The proposition as
to its retention or rejection has been
referred to a committee.
Among the arguments advanced in
opposition TO retaining the present
rule, as given to the committee, are:
at violates Christian freedom.
1T is a source of constant irrita-
ton.
at puts many in an unjust attitude
as disloyal to the church.
1T cannot be enforced
"As an unenforced law, it brings
discipline into contempt
1T keeps many conscientious people
out of the church.
1T breeds hypocrisy.
at has not added to spirituality in
the church.
Arguments for continuing the rule
are given as:
"The rule voices a protest against
worldliness.
Repeal suggests a backward step
morally.
MANY will avoid harmful things
because the church directs.
Repeal would be interpreted with
great publicity as indicating moral
declensioD.'
1t was stated it probably would be
several days before the real work of
the conference WAS reached.

CHRIST In
MOVING PICTURE
CRITICISED

LONDON Nov 6-The production
.of a moving picture representing the
life story OF Christ has raised a storm
OF controversy among the clergy OF al.
denominations. The picture was ex
hibited before 5000 ministers, and the
newspapers have been flooded with
opinions both for and against what IS
variously characterized as sacri-
lcge and as something very devotional
and very real-something calculated
TO impress the story Of the Saviour on
the mind as nothing else can.
Prebendary Is Bitter.
Prebcndary Eek, prominent in the
Church of England. which is divided
over the matter. Is bitter in his con-
demnatlon. He says:
II cannot presume to understand
what sense you apply to the term rev
erent. AS for my own sense of revFf-
ence the display rouses in me indig-
nation that He who as God and man
came 20 save mankind, who now Is on
the throne Of heaven, should be rep
resented by fictitious persons per-
forming by dramatic actions and the
atrical accessories the most sacred
and most awful incidents IN the
worlds history-and to get dividends
for an American company.
Were a man TO produce a moving
picture of his mothers last moment
even under the pretense of usefulness
or OF reverence, but actually TO make
money out Of il. what words OF Con-
tempt for his conduct could be too
strong? Your attempted analogy with
pictures OF passion plays utterly
fails"
Clergymen Are Impressed.
A great majority of the clergy who
saw the pictures undoubtedly we're
impressed by the realism and the
beauty of the portrayal of the won
doriul subject
From the Manager TO the Cross IS
the title given TO the work. which
has been arranged with every con-
sideration OF historical accuracy
In the preparation of the picture
AZ actors and actresses went from
England 10 Palestine and Egypt re-
naming abroad four months and en-
acting before the camera scenes from
the life of Christ In the exact places
the New Testament depicts them The
FIRST part deals with Christ, the sec
ond reveals the fight TO Egypt; the
third concerns the miracles: the
fourth shows the betrayal al the Last
supper, and the fifth the crucihxion.
fhe scenes actually are laid In the
Garden of Gcthsemane and the Sea
