Then she must prepare for their
Christmas dinner of roast turkey

potatoes, cranberry sauce, plum
pudding and pumpkin pie with
their accessories, which Zoe never

others to make the costumes. So
she called her up.

other mothers and could not give
her assistance.

M. E. CONFERENCE LIKELY
TO REVISE DISCIPLINE

Syracuse, y. Y, April 26.-The Rev.
DR.. Edmund NJ. Mills. acting secretary for
the general conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, which opens Satur-
day at Des Moines, Iowa. stated tonight
that the conference probably would revise
the ban on amusements, changing 1t from
a mandatory act in the book of discipline
to a word of advise Memorials submit

parts Of the country show that about
one-thrd of the preachers want to elimi-
nate all reference to dancing. theatres
and card playing. with the others uncer-
tain as to how TO deal with the PROPOSE
ton.
In view OF the fact that the preachers do
not put men and women on trial for these
amusements, DR.. Mills will move the
elimination Of the following words in that
part of the hook of discipline dealing
with the trial Of member for imprudent
conduct: Dancing. playing. at games Of
chance attending theatres horse races,
circuses. dancing parties. patronizing
schools or taking part In such other
amusements as are obviously of mislead-
ing and questionable moral tendency. For
such offense the law calls for first re-
proof by pastor. secondly reproof by pas
tor and class leader or discreet" MEM
bers of the church and for the third Of
Tense the accused shall be brought 10
trial.
After striking out the words referred
to. DR. Mills would have a star placed at
this point dealing with trials making It
compulsory for the ministers to read the
chapter on ''amusements" under the head
of Advice" This paragraph covers the
situation In some detail.
