Old Question Of Amussments.

The general conference Of the
Methodist church at Minneapolis has
addressed itself to the old problem OF
what amusements are ut and unfit
for the churchman. II is a question
which has perplexed the Methodists
and other orthodox churches for
many years, and II II should be left
q little short OF complete determine
tion II probably win occasion no great
surprise.
The Methodists have been strict
disciplirsrians on the matter Of
amusemcnts. but changing times
bring changing minds and without
necessary loosening OF religious ties,
an evident yielding from the old
tenacious ground has set In.
The board Of bishops Of the Meth
odist church has taken advanced
ground In recommending the aboii-
ton of the rule. prohibiting dancing.
card playing. gambling and going to
theaters, circuses and horss, races, .
on the ground that the American
people are too far advanced longer

what their amusements should be. /"
This will undoubtedly DO hailed az

be a matter OF the utmost interest to
zee what the general conference
finally does with the recommends
ton. The bishops see that church
members have ideas OF their own on
personal conduct which cannot be
controlled bs fixed rules. And
the church statistics show that this
rule has never been consistently ad-
hered TO.
