In fact the whole team was playing
good ball. At the same time, II must
be remembered that they will have 10

MAY REVISE METHODIST
LAW ON ADJUSTMENTS

The Rev. DR.. Edmund Mills, act
ing secretary for the general confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
church which opens Saturday at Des
Moines, states that the sconference
probably would revise the ban on
amusements, changing ut from
mandatory act in the book of dis
cipline to a word OF advice.
Memorials submitted to DR.. Mills
from country wide conferences
show that about one-third of the
preachers want to eliminate all ref
erence to dancing, theaters and card
playing, with others uncertain as
how to deal with the proposition.
In view OF the fact that the preach
ers do not put men and women on
trial for these amusements, DR.. Mills
will move elimination of the follow
ing words in that part of the book Of
discipline dealing with the trial OF
member for imprudent conduct:
Dancing, playing at games OF
chance, attending theaters, horse
racing, circuses, dancing parties,
patronizing dancing schools or OF
misleading and questionable moral
tendency"
For such offense the law calls
first for reproof by pastor and class
leader or discreet" members OF the
church, and for the third offense,
the accused shall be brought to trial.
After striking out the words re-
ferred to, DIR. Mills would have a
star placed att this point dealing
with trials, making 1t compulsory for
she ministers to read the chapter on
"amusements" under the head of
advice"
