BISHOPS ADMIT
People Wili Choose Their

Minneapolis, Minn., May 0 -"The Am-
erican People are too far advanced longer
to be restricted by chureli rules as to
what the amusements shall be. The rule
prohibiting dancing, (mid playing, gam-
bling and goina to theattee, eireneee and
horse races tlierefore should be ebol-
Lehed.'"this is the gist of a report re-
edited to -day to the General Confe•Pnee
of the Methodist Episepal Church by the
Board of Bishope.
:In recommending tine radival cbange,
the twentiefour active bishope etipulated
that the church, ho-wever, elmuld not
be iediffereut ian these subjeets, bat
that the people ehould be left to judge
for themselves what is right or wrong
in amusements, having before them enly
the injunction of John Weiley, which
forbids "the taking of such diversions as
cannot be taken in the name of the Lord
Jeetts Christ."
The biehops declared the church reiter-
ated its 'opposition to theatre -going and
gambling, 'but the rule in force since
1872 could not fix a point betwesn "the
turf and the stock market."
The bishoret' report wee delivered by

LESSON "1. -MAY 121 1012.
•••••••••••••••••••••
The Law of Levee -Luke 6: fl7-38;
Rom. 13: 8-10.
Cennmentary.-1. Love toward one -
wive (vs, 27-29). 27. But I say -The
implutsis is mama the word "L" The jciY-
Wt teachors lied given the instruction,
1Thou ehalt lovo thy. neighbor, and hate
thine enemy" (Matt, 0:43), quoting in
sart from Lev. 19:18, and adding thetr
)wn words. In contrast. to their teaelt-
ag Jesus givee the true meaning and
spirit of the law. You which hear,
rho dieeiples and tbe multitudes upon
the mount. Love your enensiee-Thie
Was tho spirit of the law, for in l?,xod.
ri;,1 these words are found: "if thou
neet thine enemy's ox or hie ass going
IStray, thou shalt surely bring it back
io him again!" and in Prov. 25:21, "If
1hine enesay be hungry, give him bread
to eat," "Latve your eneinies" is a corn-
mitud beyond tae reach of multitudes
in their preeent condition, but it is pos.
table of fulfillment by all, if they find
the eaving grace of God. Do f ood to
them which hate you -Love brings ex-
tronee together. Love is contrary to
hate, but, while hate would lead one,
to do evil to the one hating him, love
doee good to him. Read Rom. 12;20 ttB
tiomment upon this passage. 28. Bless
them that curse you -This is the third
in ibis. series of apparent paradoxes. It
is contrary to unregenerate human na-
ture to fulfil this tiommand. We are
called upon to speak kindly, an.d from
the heart, too, to those who berate and
insult us. Pray for them which despite-
fully use you -The Greek word trana-
lated tdeepitefully use" impliee the
eoareest insults. God's children are no-
where in the world assured. that they
than eecape insult and. abuse in this
world. at the hands of the ungodly.
When such abuse comes, however, they
are clearly directed what course to pur-
sue toward their enemies, "Pray for
thent." 29. Offer also the other-
jesue said, "Resist not evil." The spirit
of the gospel is wholly opposed to the
spirit of relation. "That it is. not meant
in ita literal sense is shown by the fact
that our Lord himself, while most ai.
vinelv true to its spirit, did not atet on
the fetter of it (John 18:22, 23)." --Caro,
Bib. Taketh away the cloke-If one
bits a charge against you and purposes
to bring you before the judge to take
your coat, settle with him quickly and
let him have your cloak also if neces•
eery to settle the difficulty. The coat
was the undergarment or tunic; the
cloak was the large and more expensive
outer garment.
IL Love Towarde All (vs 30.34). 30.
give to every masa that aisketh of thee -
The principle here laid down by our
Lord is that of loving and constant gen.
eroaity. There is need of wisdom in our
giving. To respond to a gift to some
\rho ask. would work injury to them. ask
them not again -Do not show a. revenge-
tul epirit, and. neither by violence nor
by itgal forme demand them back, but
by a kind and liberal spirit strive to win
baek the offender to right views and
acts. Whatever emu do, avoid a retali-
ating spirit of forbearanoe and love -C.
W. Clark. 32. a$ ye would that men
should do to you -Here is the 5tandard
of our dealing with othees. We are to
place ourecives in the position oceapied
by them and consider what we should
deeire them to do to as. Wniatever we
(-ought righteously wish them to do to
lIA we are to do to them. This is the
golden rule, wbieh sums up all the prin.
(dolma pertaining to our relations one
with another. Wo are net required to
do to others all the things that they de-
sire, for some of the things might be in-
juripus to them.
32. what thank have ye -When one
lovee another who loves him, there is no
exereise of Christian virtue. It is sim-
ply even exchange. This act in no way
distinguishes the follower of Jesus from
the' stutter. Sinners love thoiie who love
them, and do not love those who hate
them. 33. sinners -also do even the
sante-Our Lord meant that our stand-
ard must rise above the ordinary dead
level of law, habit, diatom, which pre-
vail in the world. -Farrar. 34. if ye
lend to them of whom ye hope to te-
ethe-a:The love commended and com-
mtinded by our Lord far surpassed that
which iwevails among the ungodly. In
the former is sacrifice with self-denial
and earthly loss, but in the latter there
is none.

EDISON AGAIN
May Yet Find God Through
Moving Pictures.
Orange, N.J., May 5. -Thomas A. Edi-
son expects to spend $3,000,000 and de-
vote eight years to the work of perfect-
ing. a repertory of educational films that
will meet the requirements he has eet
to make the moving picture useful in
the Rehool room. A brief story of what
the inventor hae done so far, and will
do in the future was told to the, New
World Society last night by Arthur D.
Chandler, president of the Orange Board
of Education.
Edison has already had a number of
film8 made, among them one which
Piton's, magnified millions time$, the
proems of chemical crystalizatioo of
certain substances. To watch the pro-
cesses ati shown by the film, according
to Mr. Chandler, is to be deeply impress-
ed with the fact that there is some-
thing controlling even the action of in-
organic matter, and he said he felt that
the scientists in their searching might
yet find out God.
Edison expects to send into all corn-
ers of the earth, gathering material for
his films. When his task is finished the
pupila of the future will have opportun-
ities of becoming acquainted with activi-
ties of the world and of lettere that
adults to -day have not even dreamed
of.

Cunard Steamer Ultonia
Among the Icebergs.
Puts Into. Halifax Under
Her Own Steam.
Halifnx, May 5. -Another trane-At-
lantie liner has been damaged in the
ice -fields' which crowd the entrance to
the Gulf _of St. Lawrence. The big
Cunarder Ultonia, from Southamptou,
bound to Quebec, tamped into port to-
night, and reported losieg one propel-
ler. The steamer has twin -screws, but
in her damaged condition the captain
decided the safest courae was not to
risk the iee perils of the gulf, and pro-
ceeded to the nearest port.
This is the Ultonia s first trip to a
Canadian port this season. She has
twelve hundred passengers aboard, who
will be transferred to -morrow and for-
warded to their destinations in the Can-
adian and American west.

rence, where. the field iee is closely
packed, and in some cases extends for
many miles. Captain Prothedro of the
Ultonitt did not make a formal report
to -night. but it ie believed that beyond
the loss of the propeller no damage was
suetained and no alarm was felt by the
ssengers.
The etarboard propeller was broken,
and the Utopia came in under her own
steam, using one propeller, at a rate of
nine mike an hour.
On Saturday night at 10.30 o'clock a
wirelese meesage Was received by the
Cunard agents at Halifax, informing
them that the riiltonia from Southamp-
ton for Quebec and Montreal was nine-
ty-eight miles southeast of Sable Wand
with one of her propellers damaged, and
that she wits making nine miles an
hour on her way to Halifax. Nothing
was done to send her assistance, as it
was de-cided no help was required, and
110140 had been aeked for. This after-
noon at 4 o'clock the Tiltonia was re-
ported approaching the harbor, and two
steam tngs went out. coming up with
