ON SOCIAL PLEASURES
Minister Says Churches Have Be-
come Arbitrary and Driven
Young People Away.

A Presbyterian minister in Ia
coma has made himself the possible
object of an investigation for here
sy by defending social pleasures iu
a recent Sunday sermon. Among
other things he said:
The churches have driven
young men and women away from
the church, because of the fear of
the evil consequences of pleasures
they are denied, and they have
made the church social life n thing
which is lacking in zest, stale.
flat and Improbable, and the
world laughs. There was one
thing lacking at the conclusion of
our colonial supper on Friday
night-the young men and women
should have gotten together and
danced the Virginia reel.
The time has come for us to be
fair and frank and honest and true
and in no other way will we win
the respect of the world. We muss
draw the line between that which
is innocent and wholesome among
the natural, instructive pleasures
and delights of social life, while
we cry out against their abuse
and perversion. The church has
cried wolf, wolf, when there was
no wolf, and the result is the
world does not listen when we cry
our warning The time has come
for clergymen and their wives to
identify themselves with the social
life and all that it involves of hui
man interest in order that they
may understand mems pleasures
and problems of daily living, that
the clergy be not blind leaders of
the blind.
Zone fault is yours, that You
have insisted upon unnatural, arbi-
trary distinctions and standards
for clergymen, which you do not
demand or admit for yourselves.
The Interpretation of spiritual life
has changed and we no longer
look upon the forms and uniforms
as essential to the religious and
spiritual life. Men see different
now and look in their heart for
things.'
