THE CHURCH AS
ASOC|AL CENTER
A Broader Sphere for ReIIgIon--New
} Field for tho Rural Church.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

Lecturer National Farmers Union
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
1t 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 interpretar
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 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-
lenge and seek to reform that social
order in which moral life Is ex-
pressed. While cherishing ideals Of
service, the rural church which ct.
tains the fullest measure Of success
is that which enriches as many lives
as it can touch, and in no way can
the church come in as close contact
with its members as through the
avenue of social functions.
The country town and the rural
community need a social center. The
church need offer no apology for it's
ambition to fill this need in the COM
munity, If an understanding Of its
mission brings this purpose into clear
consciousness. The structure OF Q
rural community is exceedingly COM
pick; 1t contains many social groups,
each of which has its own center, but
there are many localities which have
but one church and although such
a church cannot command the inter-
est of all the people, it Is relieved
from the embarrassment of religiously
divided communities.

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 a cultured and refined society.
1t is plain, therefore, that the
church which aims at 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.
If the church surrounds itself with
social functions which appeal to the
young among its membership, it will
fill large part of the lamentable
gap in rural pleasures and will reap
the richest reward by promoting a
higher and better type of manhood
and womanhood.
