Show A STEP rOHVV VK1. A local Methodist Episcopal coufer-ence coufer-ence which met in New York City last week has made a demand that the question ques-tion of repealing section 242 of the Methodist Book of Discipline be this year brought before the general conference confer-ence of the church. This is a step in the right direction. The section referred re-ferred to prohibits all members of the M. E. church from going to theaters, balls and horse races. It is not essential essen-tial to Christianity, it cannot be enforced, en-forced, and therefore why keep it as a reproach to a very lare part ol the membership of that church? |
