Sunday golf Is neither sinful in the indi

The Links or Church,

Sunday golf Is neither sinful in the indi-
vidual nor disturbing to his neighbors.
The Links or church,
But, it may be asserted. Sunday
golf keeps men from church. Per-
haps 1t does. It is interesting to
observe In the golf clubs with which
I am most familiar. and I assume
In others. that by far the most of the
playing Sunday goes on In the morning.
Presumably there are some empty seats
In the sanctuary as a consequence. But
It seems to me very doubtful IL there are
many. My suburban town has two golf
courses. On a fine Sunday morning there
may start out fifty couples on one course.
forty. couples on the other. I claim no
exactness for the figures, but they can
not be very far wrong either way. Here
we have, say, $50 men playing golf. The
the golfers should all go to church some
Sunday, dividing themselves equally
among the dozen, they would fill fifteen
seats in each church. They would add
something to each congregation, but after
all not much. It hardly looks as though
the golf course were robbng the church
OF many worshipers. But suppose 1t
were. Then 1t Is true we should have a
serious indictment against Sunday golf.
The church's place In the community is
uuiQuc IL dT6uG us PTc-CILlucuCS as q
factor in human life would be as absurd
as to argue the pre-eminence Of the sun
as a source Of illumination. A commu-
nifty without a church Is as unthinkable
as a community without inhabitants. II
Sunday golf Is doing an injury to the
church 1t has much to answer for.
But j do not believe that it IL doing
any direct and immediate injury of the
kind that might be roughly compared to
the effect of the competition Of new
grocery store with superior attractions
upon its older and more matter-of-fact
rival. It is not Sunday golf that is harm
ing the church. It is not the full links
that is making the empty pews. To test
the assertion. go out on the golf course
next Sunday and ask yourself. honestly
and seriously, how many OF the men
there would be in church one week from
that day II the golf courses were to be
suddenly closed. Not many, I believe II
they could not play golf. most Of them
would do something else equally far re-
moved from churchgOing.

regularly as wish did But golfer and
churchgoer I am. Incidentally, / have
played golf Sunday. but I am very far
from making q practice OF 1t.
To return now to our problem. What
should be the attitude OF the community
toward Sunday golf?
Observe that this Is not the same as
the question ably debated last year by
two writers in the Atlantic Monthly and
In little volume Of sermons, SHOULD
Smith Go to Church" It il not even the
related but slightly different question
Should Smith play golf Sunday"
The question Is, What should the COM
munity do about Sunday golf? Two an
swers are possible IL the community Is to
take any other attitude than that of in
difference and inacti0n.
The community (by which, Of course. in
this consideration mean the public opin-
ion Of the community, and not Its gov
ernmenD might say. No Sunday golf
Or 1t might say exactly the contrary.
On what grounds could the former po
sitfon be sustained?

very effective in causing parents to

The present plan is to carry on the
inspection with the aid Of the profess

physicians and dentists have very un.
selfishly- consented to give their time
and skill free Of charge for this pur-
pose. The inspection is under the
management of the public schools.
and will be carried on in the school
in a room fitted up for this purpose.
1t is thought that some parents may
have a choice az to which doctor and

opportunity for this choice, cards will
be sent to the parents on which they
may write the names Of the doctor
