ANGLICAN CONFERENCE
A DEAN ON MODERN AMUSEMENTS (By Eleotrio Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Außtcalian & N.Z. Cable Association.) MELBOURNE, This Day At the. Anglican Church Conference the Bishop of Granswick made a strong appeal in favour of allowing women to sneak from the pulpit. Women had often saved critical situations and home the heaviest burdens and led tho church to advance. . Dean Grotty, dealing with the question of modern amusements, said that many young popple were making an unmitigated nuisance of themselves because the length of their freedom had got beyond the strength of their selfcontrol" Some girls had proved their title to the modern designation of “flappers” for they were just, wildly flapping in the wind. An overwhelming majority of children over tho age ot six attended picture shows where they met a display of luxury masquerading under a smudge of piety and moralising and a parade of sensualism. The exhibition of salacious pictures, -veiled by specious virtuosity, was a moral drug traffic as dangerous as the opium traffic.
