Methodist bishop says church sins by lax prohibition stance
Bishop Edwin H. Hughes of the Boston Area asserts that Methodists criticising violators of the Eighteenth Amendment become law violators themselves on the issue of amusements. He notes the church’s 1872 rule expelling members for theatre or dancing has never been enforced, and keeping it amid widespread violation equates the church with those it condemns for ignoring national prohibition.
