Supt. Mcdonald
Delivers Address
On ''The Modern Church and
Social Service"

Supt. Mcdonald of the city
schools gave the closing address
in the series which has occupied
the attention of a number of the
professional and business people
Of this place the past few Sun
day evenings, at the Presbyte-
rian church last Sunday night.
and large congregation was
out to hear him. The subjuct
assigned him was "The Modern
Church and Social Service, and
following are a few of the
thoughts presented:
The attitude which the church
of today is taking with reference
to what might be called outside
activities, is simply in keeping
with the attitude of society in
general toward it's fellow man.
The individual citizen, the
church and the state are today
assuming obligations and per-
forming functions which a few
decades or more ago were scarce
ly thought of, much less to be
given application. 1t is there
fore proper that the church
should take it's place in this ad-
vanced movement of social serv-
ice. No other organization can
do so more effectively. No other
is so we'll adapted to assume
such burdens; nor can any other
reap greater nor more perma-
nent rewards.
We are generally agreed that
the church Of today is perferm-
ing a noble work. 1t would be
useless to deny that its condition
cannot be improved, its general
sphere of usefulness enlarged
and it's work made more efficient.
What are some of the reasons

Cohan Under Arrest
Former Sissetoniam Wants to Kill
Woodrow Wilson.

Former SissetOniam Wants to Kill
Woodrow Wilson.
John j. Cohan, we'll known in
this city and Roberts county, is
under arrest at Colorado Springs.
Colo, for declaring that if he
had the chance he would kill
President-elect Wilson.
Cohan says he was arrested at
New Orleans by secret service
men when President Taft spoke
there, and in Chicago when
Roosevelt was there. An exam
ination will be made as to his
sanity.
Mr.. Cohan was a democratic
candidate for the Office of Regis
ter of deeds at the primary cleo
ton in this county last June and
has been resident Of this loca=
lity for a good many years. He
has always been considered "pe-
culiar. T" He has a great pen
chant for sending out postal
cards pertaining to himself, his
political and religious beliefs,
ETC., but has always been con-
sidered harmless.

or conditions which makes the
modern church inefficient or less
efficient than it ought to be?
What are some of the indica-
tions or manifestations of it's
lack of doing what it might do
in comparison with what it is
doing? How efficient it might
be. in comparison with how ef=
ficient it is, in the giving of So
cial service or the solution of So
cial problems?
One of the reasons of it's in
efficiency may be found in the
relatively small number Of the
masses of the people which the
church is able to reach through
the ordinary channels of relig-
ious worship. 1t is a safe esti-
mate that the number of people
who attend divine services in
our own community is not more
than one-ffth of the entire pop
ulation. If this is true with ref
erence to the average small
place, it is even to a greater eX-
tent true of the larger places.
In fact. in some of the large cit
les, so far as rendering social
service is concerned, the church
going classes are those who need
such help the least: while those
who need it the greatest, are
practically churchless.
Another reason for its inef=
fciency may be found in the rel
atively small amount of the use
of the church property in COM
parison with the use that might
be made of it. Why should the
church of today be open to the
people only a day or two in the
week? Why should it not touch
the lives of the people at more
points and in more ways than it
does at present?
These two reasons are perhaps
the principal ones illustrating
the weakness of the present day
church.
The time was when the church
considered itself the censor of

is the problem of charity. and

is the problem of charity, and
here perhaps is where the
church can do its most effective
and material work. The church,
If it must, might neglect all the
other problems mentioned, but
it cannot avoid it's stewardship
here.
Other problems mentioned
were: The temperance question,
the white plague, child labor,
the social evil, treatment of the
criminal classes, and so on, and
a number of remedies were sug-
gested, chief of which were the
formation of neighborhood and
municipal churches, publication
of the ballot, etc., the closing
thought being of a very practical
nature as follow:
BY whatever method the solu-
ton of social problems is at
tempted, why not make the
work practical? Why should not
the church in every community
look after the welfare of it's peo-
pie on week days as we'll as Sum
days? Why should we not have
a week day church as we'll as a
Sunday church? Every town has
its pool hall problems, it's dance
hall problems. its blind pig or
hole in the will problems, as
we'll as others. Why not treat
these practically? If your boy
or girl will have a form of enter
tainment under improper envi-
ronment, why not accept the
lesser of two evils-if it is the
lesser of two evils-and give
them form of entertainment, or
at least something that will take
the place Of it, under proper en-.
vironment?
