munity is an absolute necessity, no

munity is an absolute necessity, not
in one respect only, but in many:
First---It is a material necessity.
1t is one of a community's strongest
soliciting factors to the most indus
trious huamn element. 1t brings
and keeps in community a class
of people of Industrious ambition;
such as assure d place-especialIy a
new pla,e---a safe and a permanent
growth Much is said today of the
'money-grabbing age" in which we
live. Great as the ambition is to-
day for material wealth, such is not
the supreme ambition of the people
generally. The necessity of moral
and christian education is matter
that is seriously facing the thought
full world, and the place that offers
the greatest inducement to such an
Letting strength. Whence the
mighty transportation of human
freight that is ever taking place in
this western portion of the country?
The trains are groaning with the
burden of transient human beings.
Why? All after the mighty dollar?'
No. Many are, but the demand of
the present age, which is continu-
ally increasing, for moral character,
is driving thoughtful parents out of
the communities where the advan-
tages for such development are limit
I'd. to places where such opportuni-
lies are offered; hence, about the
first question asked by those seek
in, a change of location, and whose
attention is called to another town
or community, is, What the relig-
il us and moral standard of that
place? and the answer to that ques-
ton generally determines the decis-
ion. We could cite. of our own
instances of the fact. We
see in this fact the necessity of
the local church as a means to the
development of locality by class
Of people such as to insure such an
end
We have before stated, that the
word "boost" is in too many instan-
ces given the wrong application. 1t
IS well to boost" but the most sue
eessful method to use is, to give due
attention to the local enterprises
hat are of a boosting character,
which is the proper end TO begin to
assure satisfactory results.
But local church is certainly
civic and moral necessity. The best
proof we have of this is the strik-
ng comparison of the towns where
he church Is practically discarded,
With the towns where it Is given due
Keer out the influence
If the church from town, and 1t
s inevitably replaced by the oppo-
;ite influence. the effect of which
S the moral ruin of the town. Are
here influences to prove the asser-
ion? Yes, and not thousand miles
Instant. The christian church is the
reasoning ingredient which keeps
resh and pure the moral atmospher'
If community which keeps it in
i healthy state of existence. Hence,
What is to be the degree of Rich
ield's moral sentiment, as shall be
elt by the outside world, will be
determined by its attitude to its
hurch or churches.
