John Atkins Farewell
published by request. J

Poor drunkards, poor drunkards.
Take warning by me,
The fruits of transgrcssion
Behold now see;
My soul is tormented,
My body'S confined,
My friends and dear children
Left weeping behind.
Much intoxicntion
My ruin has been,
And my dear companion
I've barbarously slain:
In yonder cold graveyard
Her body doth lie,
And | ain confined
And shortly must die.
A solemn death warning
TO drunkards leave.
While my poor body
Lies cold in the grave:
Remember John Atkins,
Ills death and reform,
Lest justice o'crtake you
And sorrow come on.

Could never atone
For this cruel murder
Which my hands have done:
I'm justly condemned,
And It's right should die;
Therefore let all drunkards
Take warning hereby.
Farewell, my dear children,
Wherever you be:
Though quite young and tender,
And dear unto me,
leave you exposed
In Natures wide field
In which God is able
Poor orphans to Shield
No mother to teach YOU,
No father to guide
Your tender affections
From sins awful tide.
No portion to Shun you
From hunger and cold
My poor little orphans
Are cast on the world
men SOrrO"S OpprcSS YOU
And sickness come on.
Your sigh for your mother,
But oh, she is gone
Your father in anger
Struck her on the head:
She bied, groaned and languishcd
And now she Is dead
My heart swells with sorrow
My eyes overflow;
Soon, oh, my dear children,
IN bid you adieu;
Oh, may my Kind neighbOrs
Your guardians prove,
And Heaven, kind Heaven.
Protect you above.

Universal Instinct for Play.

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 it is pleasurable; in play the in- stinctive aversion of one person for another is overcome and the social mood is iostered Play is the chief educational agency in rural commun. ities 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.
 It is plain, therefore, that the church which aims at a perfected so- ciety must use in a refined and ex- alted 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 hll a 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

 It is further recommended that the people of Arizona shall make Arbor Day of the present year an occasion for promoting among the youth of the State a greater interest in the adornmen of public places and in i'm proving by the means, which Nature affords, all privately-owned domains.

THE CHURCH AS
 ASOCIAL CENTER
A Broader Sphere for Rellgion-New
 Field for the Rural Church.
By Peter Radford
Lecturer NotIonaI i'armers' 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 # is expressing 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' tion of the functions of true religion. We take our place in the succession of those who have sought to make the world a ht 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 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 -t. 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.

 Miss Engiund has been engaged with the repertury company at the Little Theatre in Philadelphia. Before that engagement she had already won dis r.ncliou for her intelligent and admir- able performance of the role of Mrs A'Nin- u the greatest of all Ibscn plays, Ghosts. a part for which she was well suited ny reason of her in- sJruCuon under the great master him self.

The county town and the rural community need a social center. The church need offer no apology for it's aUbition 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 pleX; 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

 Marguerite SSirvin, tho dramatic. vaudeville and motion picture actress, has taken the trouble to prepare a list of fourteen dramatic producers who are now interested in motion picture pro- ductions. Which goes a long way towards onsetting the interview with one dramatic producer who declared that legitimate production managers should boycott all dramatic players who engage in motion picture work. They do not come with clean hands and therefore their protest loses much weight" she judicially adds.

LITTLE lETERYIEWs WITH BIG PEOPLE.

Mrs. Nellie Peck Saunders, under whose auspices the Modern Drama Players are being formed for the pres- entation throughout the United States of interesting plays, believes that the attitude of the public towards dra- matic productions is undergoing a healthy change for the better. "Whero the public has accepted the theatre merely as a. place of amusement" she declares. eft is now being accepted as place of entertainment and interest, accepting the fact that there is some thing more to be got out of a play than the mere surface sense Of the lines and the appeal made Co the eye hy the scenery. In short that while losing no interest whatever in its en- tertaining features, it leaves a healthy
 imprint on the memory, like a good book The plays that are tO be pro- duced by the Modern Drama Players will include several that have hitherto been denied American playgoers. Among them are plays by Tagore, Tchekof and Gibson.

"The foundation of the success of the
 American drama" interestingly de- cares Mary Hall. distinguished American dramatic actress, dies in the better class stock companies. Through these companies the great mass of playgoers are educated in the native and foreign drama lt is 90 satisfying and economical education. The time has passed when the stock companies are tO be considered as dumping grounds for dramatic incompetency. Now the production managers impress stock players in the most notable Broadway productions. Many of the substantial successes achieved joy play CTS this year have been made by those who lf not uctually of the better stock companies, ot least are graduates from this form Ct amusement And these companies through the country have a. broader and more fertile field because they offer a greater variety of plays to regular patrons than is possible by less frequent productions. The cost of Broadway seat equals four stock per formances, and this largely accounts for the success of stock companies. With the great number of plays annu- ally produced it would be impossible
 for plaYlOVers Co see even a small part of them if 1t were not for stock companies They create playgoers by offering current and popular plays at moderate prices and by installing personal interest, presenting them with players popular with the audience"

Francis Powell, a producer of note, whose achievements include many of the interesting special productions made during the past few years, is of the opinion that it is not so neces- sary to reduce the cost of theatrical entertainment as it is to give greater value for the admission charged. Not being able to indulge in the theatre as often as formerly" Mir. Powell de- clares "the playgOcrs are becoming more particular as to what plays they see, which, in my Judgment accounts for many of the failures of the pres ent season. The war may have some thing Co do with it, but it is having more Co do with awakening a healthy
 interest in our owu plIyWrights pTo- uucers and players Instead of accept-
 ing the foreign brand as standard. they are beginning tu have forced upon them the home product and they are sur- priscd at its hirh standard. They rcll- ize that made iu America has a mean
 ing which is a justidable pride to our own playgOers. We have excellent playwrights awaiting a hearing. and our own productions measure mp 10 the highest standard of the foreign article. lf they do not meet the high est artistic demands 1t is not for lack of talent but rather because the pro- ducers themselves do not demand it. Fewer and better productions should be the aim of our native combina- tions.

Social Needs Imperative.

The average country boy and girl have very little opportunity for real enjoyment and have, as a rule. a vague conception of the meaning of pleasure and recreation. It 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 ire 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 nc 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- tu1ity for expression, which may fsSe the form of clubs, parties, pic .ics 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.
