the committee on temperance, moral
and social reform, decrying the ten
dency of the times In regard to dress,
dancing and other alleged evils, was
unanimously adopted without change

fernce to-day. Director of the Cen

A part of the report Is:
"Your committee feels that this
conference should express Itself on
some of the modem fads that are
hurtful to our people Home fads are
only sins and some debutantes haven’t
sense enough to know it and should
be told.

immoral, dances in vogue but Justify
the position our church has always
taken on the subject of dancing
These shameful orgies are but the
normal and natural consequences of
this sin

when he said, ’No man being sober
will dance.’

Methodist Conference will be held in
