N. E. Church May
Re- Define Card
Playing, Dancing
Ouadrt,ennunial Conference ia
Convene Friday in
Ohio Town

COLUMBUS, April 80. (UP).
, now and broader definition of
"dancing" and "card-playing' may
be- one of the results of the S2nd
.ouadrennial conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church. open
ing here Friday.
With the meeting near battle
lines appeared to be well drawn
between a powerful faction de-
manding liberalization of Meth
nS;sn,'s views on social activities
of the young and an equally pow
erful alignment in favor OF inc
present strict regulations.
Together, they represent the
two schools of thought within the
church 49, one holding that the
christianizing of the economic or
der is the business of the church,
the other that the business OF the
church is the salvation Of souls.
Te question, fought over and
over ranks at or near the top III
the order of conference business:
It extends not only to dancing and
card playing, in OF out of the
church building, but to Method
ism's future participation in poll
tics and civic affairs.
One group, the Methodist Fed,
Grafton for Social Service, headed
by Bishop Francis j. Mcdonnell
of New York, has announced 1t
will ask the conference Ito reject
the method of the struggle for
profit as the economic base tol
society" and "to approve the
method Of social economic plan
ming under Democratic control,
with social ownership of all things
necessary to its successful opera
ton"
The other group is the confer
ence of Methodist laymen, organ
lied in Chicago several months
ago to rid Methodist pulpits OF
radicals" 1t contends the con-
struction of an efficient social or
der to be largely matter of
mechanics.

Lira sat up in bed. turning her face /
to the darkness that pressed softly

Thirteen years before. he alone had
stood between her and suicidal de-

tragic destiny to love Sergei Tvernoft.

While Gregory ate two helpings OF
pudding, Lira slipped her coffee and
marvelled at how utterly she had
reverted to type, after all the docile
years. One glance from a pair OF

through the insulation of domestlcity.
