Universal Instinct for Play.

In providing for enjoyment the
church uses one 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 broadened. their
ideals are lifted and finally they con.
stitute cultured and refined society.
1t is plain, therefore, that the
, church which aims at a perfected so.
ciety must use in refined and ex.
allied 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 its membership, II will
fill large part" Of the lamentable
gap in rural pleasures and will rear
the richest reward by, promoting u
higher and better typo OF manhood
and womanhood.

the meeting of the council yesterday aft

Mr.. Dworman explained that the board

sand that while "a certain lot that they

Dworman believed that charges of unfair
