RECTOR ADOPTS
CHARLESTON

The Charleston" and other mod
ern dances, and musical comedies
in which jokes on prohibition and
the blue laws crop out, hold no
moral terrors for the Rev. Edmund
III. Stevens. rector of the Protestant
Episcopal Church of Our Saviour,
Irving and Thirteenth Streets North
east.
In fact, these much discussed
recreations of the present are
christening the new parish house
which recently has been completed
at Sixteenth and Irving Streets,
where a new church and rectory
will arise in the future.
The Rev Mr.. Stevens says he's
glad to encourage modern dancing,
including the Charleston" in the
new parish house--not as a bait
to catch church-goers, but simply to
give the young people of the parish
some pleasure. I'D rather have
them dancing here than downtown"
the Rev Mr.. Stevens said, adding
that there's no connection between
dancing and praying and none
should try to establish connection,
The parish house was opened last
week with a musical comedy, the
book and score of which were writ
ten by the Rev. Mr.. Stevens. 1t
was in this that prohibition and
blue law jokes appeared.
