Building Family Life.

The third point at which the family
becomes the common denominator in the
social solution of the problem of human
life is where it is necessary to supple
ment and assist the home in fulfilling its
functions
Here the whole cluster OF agencies
tributary to the family test their social
efficiency by the actual success or
failure in rehabilitsting. encouraging
equipping, and enabling the family itself
to fulfill its own function. The midwife
and the doctor, the hospital and the
nurses, the infant welfare station and the
day nursery, the school and the play
ground, the public library and the neigh
borhood center, the health and building
Citations, the local improvement society
and and the town planning commission,
the municipality and the State legislature,
the nation and the church are alike
weighed in the balance and found want
ing or fulfilling their function Just In
proportion as each protects and promotes
the family, conserves. and perfects the
home
SO at last both the church and the COM
munity seem to be starting over again,
where each alike began, to renew their
strength by serving the families of the
the people. And that church or state
serves itself the best that serves its fam
lies the most. That local church or To-
cal government best fulfills its function
which builds family life up out of itself
and not itself up out of family life Thus
only can either of them protect or pro-
mote the perpetuity and progress of the
community and religion.
