DRAWN FROM CHURCH
BY SOCIAL PLEASURE
Minister Says Its a Hard Problem
for the Church to Interest a
farm-Lovlng Public.

I'VE must adjust our religion to
the fact that the age is fun mad,
pleasure loving, looking for the joys
of sensation, and almost reckless In
the craze for amusement" said the
Rev. Rowland Hanson recently In an
address before the Des Moines Min
isterial Association upon the subject
of thu adoption OF religion to the
present age.
How can one characterize these
times in the direction here indicat-
ed?" he continued Social life is
full of church dances, whist parties
in homes of church m embers, thea
tiers crowded seven days In the week.
Forty thousand people yell themselves
hoarse at athletic contests Multi.
tudes wait with GREATNESS interest
the plunge of the aviator to his
death, and youth are old In exper..
eces of society before they are
through the high school Dips OF
death, tango and wriggle-wraggle
waltzss, JOY rides and nightly en-.
gagements so occupy time and dissi
pate energy that there Is seemingly
no vitality left for the formal work
OF the church. The pity Of it Is that
the talented, vivacious young people
are drawn away from the church
and with some exceptions are lost
from active service even If the names
remain upon the church roll. Surely
it Is no easy task we face. How shall
we perform 1t? We may condemn
amusements, scold those who are fur
mad, and consign to torment all who
seek pleasure to the exclusion of the
church life But / am quite confident
that crouch and grudge will not be
! effective. 1t seems that religion. II Il
| is to retain an influence over this fur
loving age must go in to extract the
sting from amusements, purify the
