Warning for. Benefit of So

MACON, twr I. -Th, report of
the committee on temperan* r. moral
and social reform, decrying the ten
dency of the times in regard to dress,
dniicing nr»d othei eged evils, ivas
unanimously adopted with" r change
by tiie South Georgia Me liodlst f’on - i
fernce to-day Director of th« Cen
sus Harris was commended for dis- .
charging drinking men in his dc |
partment.
A part of the report lv
"Tour committee feels that, this i
conference" should expr*>■ itsgif on,
some of the modern fno that art
hurtful to our jieople. Some fad;- are
only sins and some debutante* haven't
sense enough to know it and should
be told.
"The shameful and indecent, If not
Immoral, dances in vogue bui justify
the position our church has always
taken on the subject of dancing
These shameful orgies are hut the
normal anti natural consequence* of;
this sin
"Dancing was never ko very tie- ;
cent, and (’h ero was not far wrong j
when h*> said, 'No man being go her
will dun e.'
Parisian Dress Scored.
"Another fad chusing shame and
leading to sin is the importation of
a ml adoption of Parisian shame in
the way of feminine costume. Why
our good women should bow down
awf worship some styles that are
neither <i« ■ ent nor pretty and makes
the wearer to appear as if deformed,
is marvelous to us
"Oh. that women could realize thftt
modesty of appearance will tio more
to make woman beautiful anil attrac
tive than all the fancy dressing of all
the cities of the world."
