Association, expressing upon behalf OF
that organization indignation at the stand
taken by the Methodist Church with re-
spect to dancers and dancing masters.
and inquiring if folks in the theatrical
professional are equally barred from
membership in the Methodist Church.
| The House of Bishops will tomorrow
send telegram to President-elect
Harding pledging him cooperation and
prayers of the board of bishops. This
step carries out a tradition which orig
| mated in the time of Washington when
| two Methodist bishops called on the first
president and promised him the coopera-
ton OF the officials of the Methodist
! Church and pledged him their prayers.
| The church will shortly begin nation
wide appeal for candidates for the min
| istry. This step has been rendered neces-
| sary as a result of an unprecedented
dearth of young ministers.
