Changed Attitude On
Amusements

The Rev. H. Lester Smith. who
returned Thursday from the gen

that press dispatches were mislead-
ing regarding the church's attitude
on prescribed amusements.
The church has never changed
its attitude in regard TO this" he
declared. I'VE only discussed the
best way OF dealing with the prob
lem. The report that the confer
ence had under consideration a
change in policy toward card play
ing, dancing and theaters was man
usactured by the reporters"
DR.. Smith said it was the great
est general conference in the his
tory OF the church. II had a larger
delegated attendance than any pre-
vious gathering. and IL was gener-
ally more progressive and aggres-
sive. without being radical.
Or. Smiths Sunday morning ser
mon topic will be on the attitude
OF the church toward social reform
movements of today. This Will be
based on some OF the conference
discussions.

Thus the first line of Y. VI. c. A.

are literally millions of men in the
training camps Of the different coun-

spiritual ministry, the service Of the

The American public has given
little thought to the conditions in
