The photo drama exhibit given in
School Hall last week, under the aus

Probably one cause of non-attendance
was the interest taken in the revival SER
vices, then going on at the two Metho-
dist churches. But we think the chief
cause was many people in town are op-
posed to the doctrine preached by Pastor
Charles Russell, and are opposed to any
thing he is behind. We understand there
was one man in attendance, who when
asked if the performance was enter

53 letters and postals inquiring about
these brooders and the price. This is

this statement just write to the carrier

were anxious to know about the freight;
OF course this would be quite an item.
Should you get one from the factory,
which IS located near the Canadian line,
and then it would be uncertain as to

THE CHURCH As
AS0CIALCENTER
A Broader Sphere for Rellglon-New
Field for the Rural Church.
by Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

ASNNuItA NdllOlldl fdllutIS OllOu
The social duty of the rural church
is as much a part of its obligations
as its spiritual side. In expressing its
social interest, the modern rural
church does not hesitate to claim that
it is expressing a true religious in
stinct and the old-time idea that the
social instincts should be starved
while the spiritual nature was over
fed with solid theological food, is fast
giving way to a broader interpreta-
ton 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 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-
'enge and seek to reform that social
order in which moral life is ex-
pressed. While cherishing ideals of
service, the rural church which t.
tains the fullest measure of success
S that which enriches as many lives
as it can touch, and in no way can
the church come in as close contact
with it's members as through the
venue of social functions.
The country town and the ruraI
community need a social center. The
church need Cffer no apology for its
ambition to fill this need in the com
munity, If an understanding Of its
mission brings this purpose into clear
consciousness The structure of 6
rural community is exceedingly com
pick; it contains many social groups
each of which has its own center, but
there are many localities which have
but one church and although sucf
4 church cannot command the inter
est Of all the people, it is relieved
from the embarrassment of religiousl!
divided communities.

Social Needs imperative.

The average country boy and girl
have very little opportunity for real
enjoyment, and have, as a rule, q
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. It has been
found safest for them to meet fire,
quently 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 nc
social privileges is sheer folly. There
is a social nature to both old and
young, but the social requirements OF
the young are imperative. The church
must provide directly OF indirectly
some modern equivalent for the husk.
ing bee, the quilting bee and the sing.
ing schools Of the old days. In one
way or another the 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,
isfying substitute in the form of more
pleasing recreation.
