THE CHURCH As
AS0C|AL CENTER
A Broader Sphere for ReIision-New
Field for the Rural Church.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

Lecturer NdllOnd1 dEUlSIS OUlOu
The social duty of the rural church
is as much a part of its obligations
as it's 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-tiIne 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 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 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 its
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
q church cannot command the inter
est of all the people, it is relieved
from the embarrassment of religiously
divided communities.

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.
If the church surrounds itself with
social functions which appeal to the
young among it's membership, it wa
Gil a large part Of the lamentable
gap in rural pleasures and will reap
the richest reward by promoting
higher and better type of manhood
md WemaRhood.

RATE INCREASE
NECESSARY
FARMERS UNION OFFICIALS
THINK RAILROADS ARE EN-
TITLED TO MORE REVENUE.
Products of Plow and Farmer Who
Lives at Home Should Be
Exempt From increase.
BY Peter Radford.
Lecturer National Farmers Union.

Lecturer National Farmers Union.
The recent action of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in granting an
increase in freight rates in the eastern
classification of territory; the applica-
ton of the roads to state and inter
state commissions for an increase in
rates, and the utterances of President
Wilson on the subject bring the farm
ers of this nation face to face with the
problem of an increase in freight
rates. 1t is the policy of the Farmers
Union to meet the issues affecting the
welfare of the farmers squarely and
we will do so in this instance.
The transportation facilities of the
United States are inadequate to eff
fectively meet the demands Of com
merce and particularly in the South
and West additional railway mileage
is needed to accommodate the move
ment of farm products. If in the wis
dom Of our Railroad Commissions an
increase in freight rates is necessary
to bring about an Improvement in our
transportation service, and an extern
sion of our mileage, then an increase
should be granted, and the farmer Is
willing to share such proportion of
the increase as justly belongs to him.
but we have some suggestions to make
as to the manner in which this in.
crease shall be levied.
Rates Follow Lines of Least Resist.
ance.
The freight rates Of the nation have
been built up along lines of least re-
sistance. The merchant, the manu-
lumberman and the cattleman have
had their traffic bureaus thoroughly
organized and in many instances they
have pursued the railroad without
mercy and with the power of organ
lied tonnage they have hammered the
life out of The rates and with unre-
strained greed they have eaten the
vitals out of our transportation system
and since we have had railroad com
missions, these interests, with skill
and cunning, are represented at every
hearing in which their business is
involved.
The farmer is seldom represented
at rate hearings, as his organizations
have never had the finances to en-
ploy counsel to develop his side OF
the case and, as result, the products
of the pillow bear an unequal burden
of the freight expense. A glance at
the freight tariffs abundantly proves
this assertion. Cotton, the leading
agricultural product o the South, al.
ready bears the highest freight rate OF
any necessary commodity in com
merce, and the rate on agricultural
products as a whole is out of pro
portion with that of the products OF
the factory and the mine.
We offer no schedule Of rates, but
hope the commission will be able to
give the railroad such an increase in
rates as is necessary without levying
a further toll upon the products OF
the plow. The instance seems to pre-.
sent an opportunity to the Railroad
Commissions to eQualiZe the rates as
between agricultural and other classes
of freight without disturbing the rates
on staple farm products.
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1915-02-05
What Is a Fair Rate?

We do not know what constitutes a
basis for rate making and have never
heard of anyone who did claim tc
know much about it, but if the pros.
perity of the farm is a factor to be
considered and the railroad commits.
sion concludes that an increase in
rates is necessary, we would prefer
that it come to us through articles OF
consumption on their journey from
the factory to the farm. We would
for example, prefer that the rate on
hogs remain as at present and the
rate on meat bear the increase, fol-
any farmer can then avoid the burden
by raising his own meat, and a farm.
er who will not try to raise his own
meat ought to be penalized. We
think the rate on coal and brick can
much better bear an increase than
the rate on cotton and -four. We
would prefer that the rate on plows
remain the same, and machinery
pianos and such articles as the poor.
er farmer cannot hope to possess bear
the burden of increase.
The increase in rates should be sc
arranged that the farmer who lives
at home will bear no part of the bur
den, but let the farmer who boards
In other states and countries and
who feeds his stock in foreign lands
pay the price of his folly.

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 well as instruction, to its
membership among the young. The
children and young people of the
church should meet when religion is
not even mentioned. 1t 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 sat
isfying substitute in the form of more
pleasing recreation.
