THE CHURCH AS A
SOCIAL CENTER
A Broader Sphere for ReiIoIon-Nsw
Field fov the Rural Church.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

The social duty OF the rural church
is MS much a part Of Its obligations
as Its spiritual side. In expressing It's
social interest, the modern rural
church does not hesitate to claim that
It is expressing q true religious In
stinct and the oli-tlme idea that the
social instincts should be starved
while the spiritual nature was over
fed with solid the illogical food. Is fast
giving way to q broader interpreta'
tion OF the functions OF true religion.
We take our place in the succession
OF those who have sought to make the
world a fit habitation for the children
of man when we seek to study and
understand the social duty OF the
rural church. The true christian re-
lIgion is essentially social-its tenets
Of faith being love and brotherhood
and fellowship. While following after
righteousness. the church must chal.
Ienge and seek to reform that social
order in which moral life is ex-
pressed While clerishing ideals OF

tains the fullest measure Of success
is that which enrfches as many lives
as It can touch, and in no way can
the church come in close contact with
its members as through the avenue
Of social functions.
Tho country town and the rural
community need a social center. The
church need offer no apology for IT.
ambition to fill this need in the com
munity. II an understanding Of 1t.
mission brings this purpose into clear
consciousness. The structure OF
rural community is exceedingly con-.
plex; it contains many social groups
each Of which has its own center. but
there are many localities which have
but one church and although such
church cannot command the interest
of all the people, it is relieved from
the embarrassment Of religiously d.
vided communities.

Universal Instinct for Play

In providing for enjoyment the
church uses ore Of the greatest meth
DDS by which human society has de-
veloped. Association is never secure
until it is pleasurable; in play the in
stinctive aversion of one person for
another is overcome and the social
mood is fostered. Play is the chief
educational agency in rural commun-
tiles and in. the play-day Of human
childhood social sympathy and social
habits are evolved AS individuals
come together in social gatherings
their viewpoint is broadcned, their
ideals are lifted and finally they con.
stitute a cultured and refined society.
1t is plain, therefore, tnat the
church which aims at a perfected 50
ciety must use in a refined and Sex-
alted way the essential factors in
social evolution and must avail itself
Of the universal instinct for play
II the church surrounds itself with
social functions which appeal to the
young among itn membership, it will
fill a large part of the lamentablc
gap in rural pleasures and will reap
the richest reward by promoting a
higher and better type Of manhood
and womanhood

Social Needs Imperative.

The average country boy and girl
have very little opportunity for real
enjoyment. and have. as a rule, a
vague conception Of the meaning OF
pleasure and recreation. 1t Is to fill
this void in the lives of country youth
that the rural church has risen to
the necessity OF providing entertain
ment as we'll as instruction to Its
membership among the young. The
children and young people Of the
church should meet when religion is
not even mentioned. 1t has been
found safest for them to meet fro
q'lently under the direction and care
of the church. To send them into the
world with no social training exposes
them to grave perils and to try to
keep them out Of the world with no
social privileges is sheer folly There
is social nature to both old and
young, but the social requirements OF
the young are imperative. The church
must provide directly or indirectly
some modern equivalent for the hush.
ing bee, the quilting bee and the sing:
ing schools OF the cid days. In one
way or anotneF inc SOCIAL Instincts
of our young people must have oppor-
tunity for expression, which may
take the form OF Clubs. parties. pic
MICS or other forms of amusement.
One thing is certain, and that Is that
the church cannot take away the
dance, the card party and the theatre
unless it can offer in its place a sat
fsfyinp substitute in the form of more
pleasing recreation.

''They kept me hanging around at

There are some cots for men to

but at Washington and Desplaines at

on the floor, and they haven't even

there are no blankets. It is because
it is impossible to get blankets in Chi

why you would be surprised at the
