The Friends You Are Fondest of.

In the February American Magazine
James Montgomery Flagg, the famous
wit and artist. does an amusing piece
in words and pictures entitled, 1.-THE
High Cost of Friends" in the course
of which he tells as follows the differ
ence between your dear friends and the
ones you are much less fond of:
1.-THE friends you are fondest of are
always the kind that rarely call you up
or go out of their way to see you or be
in your company. They love you when
they are with you, but you have to
all the going and coming. When you
reproach them with not 'phoning you
or letting you know they have come in
town they have been so busy' Did
you ever know it to fail? And the
ones you like fairly we'll but are not
enthusiastic about ring you up and
ask you to dinner and send you tickets
and try to borrow money from you and
act just the way you would prefer
your dearest friends to do!'

THE CHURCH AS
ASOC|AL CENTER
A Broader Sphere for ReIigion-New
Field for the 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 it's obligations
as it's spiritual side. In expressing it's
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-
HgiOn is essentially sociai-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 1T
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 it's members as through the
avenue Of social functions.
The country town and the rural
community need a social center. The
church need Cffer no apology for it's
ambition to fill this need in the COM
munity, if an understanding of it's
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 it's 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.

Social Needs imperative.

The average country boy and girl
have very little opportunity for real
enjoyment, and have, as a rule,
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 it's
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 no
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 or 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 it's place a sat
isfying substitute in the form of more
pleasing recreation.
