THE CHURCH As
|. ASOC|AL CENTER.
A Broader Sphere for ReIigion-New
Field for the Rural Church.
By Peter Radford


Lecturer National Farmers Union
The social duty of the rural church
is as much 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 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 It
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 social center. The
church need Cffer no apology for its
ambition to fill this need in the COM
/ % 20
mission brings this purpose into clear
consciousness. The structure of a
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 such
church cannot command the inter
est of all the people. it is relieved
from the embarrassment of religiously
divided communities.

Fashion Hint.

A white chiffon dancing dress has
flying bands of black velvet hanging
from the waist and held down around
the foot by roses.
The tunic must be edged with a
trimming to correspond with the trim
ming Of the waist.
There is decided fancy for crepe
de chine in lingerie, the pale colors
being most favored.
Square frames are seen in the new
handbags, and some handbags are
melon shape.
Scallops appear in every piece OF
feminine apparel and now even hats
are scalloped.

When buying rugs. remember that
dark rug shows dust and lint, and
green fades to dirty color. Usually
the best rugs have small patterns.
whereas cheap fabrics have big. bold
designs. Tan shades wear well and
some reds are lasting Blue rugs are
suitable for bedrooms, and red, brown
and mixed colors for halls.

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 a cultured and refined society
1t is plain, therefore. that the
church which aims at a perfected So
ciety must use in a 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, it will
fill a large part of the lamentable
gap in rural pleasures and will reap
he richest reward by promoting a
higher and better type of manhood
and womanhood.

Some of the coats are made with
tight, very long sleeves. that are al
most glovelike in their fit at the
wrists. But some are made with
fiaring cuff, like a medici collar at the
wrong place. These deep, fiaring cuffs,
usually on velvet coats. are headed
with bands of velvet.

Th. Hirh School Prinoipal,hip.


The school board is again confronted with
the difficult task Of finding the right educator
to serve as executive head OF the Omaha High
school. With possibly one exception. this is the
most important place in the entire organization
OF our public school system, demanding the
very highest grade OF educational qualifications
with the added ability to maintain discipline,
direct subordinates and meet manifold RESPONSE
biities. Besides all this, the ideal high school
principal has an innate knack OF dealing SYM
pathetically with boys and girls, and of holding
their respect and confidence.
II goes without saying that the importance
Of the position makes IL one hazardous TO ex-
pertinent with. While Omaha has been on the
whole fortunate in the character Of the princi-
pals it has had in charge OF its high school. GER
tanly no advantage has been gained by the fire.
cuent changes, and the prospect OF reasonable
length OF service, IL he makes good, should be
OF the considerations in the selection OF the
next incumbent. Here, too, IL would seem ad-
vissble to go slow to make sure OF a satisfactory
choice rather than TO proceed hastily, and run
the risk that always accompanies haste.

Soldier BOYS in the Harvest Field.

The Canadian government proposes trying
novel experiment in the art of war, that OF
setting its recruits to work gathering home the
wheat harvest. now ripening in the fields OF the
northwest. This is the most sensible proposal
heard recently in connection with the war No
better use could possibly be made Of soldiers
than to give them such employment as will be
OF service to the world. The ordinary service
Of the soldier is to destroy, his occupation being
such that death and desolation follow in his
path, but here he may be set at the works OF
peace and his labors be crowned with a benson
OF plenty. II may be little odd to think OF Buce-
phalus. or even Rosinante. hitehed to a self
binder. but It wouldn't hurt him any. save per-
haps In his pride. and so it will not hurt the
soldier boys to do a little stunt In the harvest
fields In fact, they'll be all the better for 1t,
just as good soldiers as before, and better farm
ers than ever And at this moment the world
is more mminenty in need OF farmers than OF
warriors.

New York constitutional convention by former
Secretary of War Henry L. stimson covering the
selection Of judges for the higher courts ehal-

would merge the two methods OF appointment
and OF popular election by nominations by the
governor subject to ratification at the polls and
reads as follows:
Whenever vacancy In the court OF appeals or
the supreme court Is to be filled by election II shall
be the duty OF the governor make a nomination for
such vacancy. and the OF the person 30 nomi-

HONEST GRIEFS.

Edgar A. Guest I'm Detroit Free PresA
I can stand a fellows whining
II he's got n real cause for plning.
] can stand his dismal wailing
II he's really deep in woe:
And I don't mind honest grumbling
II his feet we're sore from stumbling
And the briars and the brambies
Block the way that he must so.
But I hate the senseless shipper
And the woful wall and whimper
of the fellow who starts growing
At the first few drops of rain
And l cannot stand the brother
Who thinks someway or another
All the fates have turned against him
When he feels a touch OF pain.
LIES a blend Of Joy and trouble.
Through the cool grass and the stubble
Every one OF us must wander
As we journey towards our goal;
Every Tom and Dick and Harry
Has some burden he must carry
He who seeks the Joy of living
Must. in some way, pay the toll
Both the great man and the humble
Find the honest cause to grumDle,
Each must shed his tears of sorrow.
Through the darkness each must gropes
When real care is assailing
There is some excuse for waiting
But without the slightest reason
Far too many give up hope.
Save your tears and save your signing
For the hours that will be trying,
Keep on smiling. keep on plodding
Just as far as YOU can go.
While the sun of hope is shining
There's no sense In repining.
IL Is time enough for wailing
When life's honest griefs you know.
