Matter Left to Ones Conscience


The Methodist ban upon amuse-
ments, except those (which cannot be
used in the name of the Lord Jesus"
was lifted yesterday, by five to one
vote of the Methodist Episcopal gen
eral conference meeting at Springfield
Mass. A minority report forbidding
theatre attendance on Sundays and
specifying dancing and immoral thea
tire performances was tabled by 46O
votes to 295. There was no debate.
DR.. George Elliott, of Detroit, pre-
sented the majority report of stand

Worth, Texas, spoke for the minority
report. The adoption of the former
removed restrictions against dancing,

church law, which applied to section
28O of the discipline, the majority re-

against theatre going" so as to read
as follows: We lift up a solemn
note of warning and entreaty, partic-
ularly against attendance upon i'm

mances." The action, in keeping with
a recommendation made in the ad-
dress of the bishops earlier in the
month, ended an issue which for de-
cades has caused dissension in the
church at large, and at the general
conference. To avoid such a conflict
this time, the Rev. James R. Gettys,
of University Place, Nebraska, moved
after the reading of the reports that
they be put to vote without debate.
