CARD PLAYING
Theater:. Going, Dancing and
the Like Now Wanted
by MethodiSts.

CHICAGO, Feb. 19.-Methodism's
ban against dancing, card playing,
theaters and the circus was bitterly
assailed at the conference of the I'm
ion of American Methodism in ses-
sion at Evanston.
Representatives of the Methodist
Episcopal church, South, sounded a
warning against the specific prohibi-
tion aimed at the doctrine of the
Methodist Episcopal church of the
North.
Professor Fitzgerald S. Parker,
general secretary of the Epworth
League, Nashville, Tenn; Bishop Col
Inns Jenny, of Nashville; and Profes-
sor Wilber F. Tillott, Of Vanderbilt
University, Nashville, joined in the
warning against placing restrictions
on Methodists.
Professor Parker pointed out that
the Methodist Episcopal church,
South, has adopted in It's general
rules new phrases eliminating the
specific naming of the prohibited In
dulgences.

SITUAT TON CAUSES
SOME UNEASINESS

being offered by various jobbers on
certain specifications, ranging from
ten to twenty per cent higher than
the schedule.
We are advising our jobbing
friends to place their contracts early,
accompanied by actual shipping speci-
ficatlons, with permission to the fac
tories to ship at their convenience.
The buyers are protected by this plan
against an advance as our selling
policy always projects them against
decline. 1t certainly is advisable for
those WHO will want glass during the
summer to get their orders in early,
as even at best there may be delay
in making deliveries. Any new busi-
ness placed would be filled in proper
order, and those who had glass pur-
chased from us under recent con-
tracts would understand that the
business accepted at the newer dis
counts would be all shipped before
the higher priced business went for
ward.
With only a couple Of months for
thehand plantsto operate after clean
ing up presen. contracts, 1t looks as
II there might be some difficulty III
taking care of the trade, particular
ly In popular sizes. And a most sur
prislng condition exists now, namely,
small glass has practically all been
absorbed and it is more difficult to
obtain than the larger sizes.

MEMS MEETINGS HOLD
CENTER OF INTEREST
DURINCCRE,AT REVIVAL
Attendance on Sunday After.
moons in Methodist Church
is without Precedent.
MASS MEETING TOMORROW
Confidently Expected That at
Least Fifteen Hundred Men
Will Be at Services.

The greatest religious revival in
the history Of the local First Method
list Espicopal church is still going on
with interest unabate and results OF
a most gratifying and surprising ma
ture.
The absence OF DR.. Morrison has
not lessened the interest In any sense
and the work, which is now entirely
In the hands Of the pastor Dr. King,
Is progressing wonderfully. While
the meetings are announced as far
ahead as Tuesday night, II is gen.
orally the accepted belief that they
will continue much greater period.
DR.. Kings preaching here has won
multitude of admiring friends, ana
his plain, blunt manner Of handling
the common evils of the day is quite
in keeping with the policy Of the To-
cal Methodists. He sees no middle
point upon which to compromise and
knows no halfway sinners. 1t Is either
good or bad and all else is hypocrisy.
Such sermons are bound to win in
the end as they are but common
sense viewing of the teachings Of
Christ.
The interest in mems meetings, or
they are generally termed, meet
ings for men only" has grown from
service to service. until today there
Is a feeling In this vicinity that they
should be adopted as a regular SER
vice of the church.
It is confidently expected that at
least fifteen hundred men will be in
attendance at the service tomorrow
afternoon. 1t is remarkable indeed
how few non Christians there are
among the men OF this city, and, an
other feature which is quite notice
able is the fact that there are but
few left who have not come for
ward.
The meeting last night was one
which, despite the extremely lnclem-
ent weather, was well attended. The
music was good and the deep relig-
ious spirit which prevailed made. 1t
one to be long remembered.

pie who elected him TO the highest
