Is Worldliness
Invading Church?

Atlanta. Ga. Dec. 1s.-Is world
llness invading the church?
Bishop Warren A. Gambler, of
the Methodist EpFcopal Church,
South, has stirred his and other
denominations by declaring in the
affirmative, and Atlanta church
people admit the alleeation so far
as they are concerned.
Here are some of the things to
which they plead guilty, and to
which they might as we'll plead
guilty, for everybody knows they
arc.
Dance.
Go to theaters
Play cards for prizes and money
Drink highbaiis and cocktails
Play golf on Sundays.
OF course not all nor even a ma
jority of Atlanta church people do
these things, for the majority cam
not financially afford them. But 4
great many church people do, and
not a few ladies find time to do all
of them, and in addition spend a
great deal of time taxing care of
children and patrnu.zing various
charitable enterprists.
