In providing for enjoyment the
church uses one OF the greatest meth
ods by which human society has de-
veloped. Association is never secure
until 1t 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 a cultured and refined society.
1t is plain, therefore, that the
church which aims at perfect So
cioty must use IN refined and ex-
alted way the essential factors In
social evolution and must avail itself
of TIE universal instinct for play,
|: the church surrounds itself with
social functions which appeal to the
young among its membership, 1t will
fll q large part of the lamontable
gap N rural pleasures and will reap
the r.shest reward by promoting a
hi .-her and better type of manhood
