Universal Instlnet for Play.

In providing for enjoyment the
church uses one OF the greatest meth

veloped. Association is never secure

stinctive aversion Of one person for
another IL overcome and the socnl
mood il fostered. Play is the chief
educational agency in rural commun-
rites 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 broadened, their
ideals are lifted and finally they con-
stituts Q cultured and refined society.
It u plain, therefore, that the
church which aims at perfected 30

allied way the essential factors In
social evolution and must avail itself

One of the most pathetic sights in this

see him everywhere, bald, gray. and

lated to run into its second century, be-
comes used up and is headed for the
scrap heap long before II has reached
the fiftieth milestone
II is pitiable to see people sts hing out
in life with ambition to make a place for
themselves. and yet running the possibil-
ity of doing anything great by sacrificing
their health, the very thing on which
they are most dependent for the attain
ment OF their object.
