luton today to prohibit the eastern

increased freight rate recently grant

LITTLE MOTHER
TO GIVE LECTURE
Mrs. Maud BalIington Booth
Will be Here Next Friday
Evening.

On Friday evening of this weeK
Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth, well
known throughout the world as THE
Little Mother" OF the prisons will
give her great lecture, Lights and
Shadows of Prison Life" She has a.
heart stirring message, and everyone
should hear 1t.
Mrs. Booth is a mite of woman.
Little Mother is her name among
convicts and ex-convicts. from Maine
to California, and she calls them all
my Boys" But she is to brim full
of SAVIOR faire, of fire and energy,
that you can think of her only as one
who could easily move mountains
which she frequently does. A mass
of dark brown hair is constantly max
ing bold dashes for freedom, en-
croaching on the smooth, broad fore
head, and even on the straight dark
eyebrows which emphasize the effect
of brilliant, dark brown eyes. 1t is a
face that is supremely earnest-lov-
ingly earnest-its instructive tend.
ency strengthened by a lifetime of
labor among the outcasts and out
laws.
Her face, her manners, her senti-
ments, are all the inspiration of earn
estness, but there is no surfeit. for
pathos and humor. comedy and
tragedy, drift absolutely side by side
down the same silver stScam You
laugh with tears in your eyes. You
applaud while indignation grits be-
tween your teeth. And the silver
stream glides on without a ripple.
Sentiment must hurry to keep pace
with 1t. The message was one from
the shadows, inside and out, of
prison walls; of the shadows and Of
the force and the strength and the
value Of sunshine which has pene-
trated and which can penetrate.
That picture speaks better than print
In an old axiom.
A prominent eastern manager has
recently said of her: "N-s. Booth is
the only woman orator Of the decade
whom the public will turn out and
pay to hear. Why? First of all, she
is the ablest woman orator in Ameri--
ca"
The citizens are urged to purchase
tickets for Mrs. Booths lecture, not
only for the purpose of hearing this
famous woman, and getting the in
spiration of her message, but also to
help make up the large deticite which
was incurred through the New York
Symphony Orchestra.

THE CHURCH As
ASOC|AL CENTER
A Broader Sphere for R.IlsIon-New
Field for tho Rural Church.
by Peter Radford
cturer 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
it is expressing a true religious In.
stinct and the old-time idea that the
social instincts should be starved
while the spiritual natureSwas 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 habitaion 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 a social center. The
church need Cffer no apology for its
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
church cannot command the inter-
est OF all the people, it is relieved
from the embarrassment OF religiously
divided communities.

Dies From African

TEWKSBURY, Mass. Jan. 1.-THE
first case of African sleeping sick
ness" ever recorded in Massachusetts
has resulted fatally. The victim, Iro-
fla Nunas, native of the Cape Verde
Islands, died at the Tewksbury state
infirmary.
His periods of sleep extended from
four to five hours with waking inter
val of from Is minutes to an hour. He
begged DR.. Howard Tuttle,n the infrm-
airy physician, to send him to his Cape
Verde home, as the natives of the is
lands could cure him.

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.
sttute 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.
II the church surrounds itself with
social functions which appeal to the
young among its membership, It will
ill a large part OF the lamentable
gap in rural pleasures and will reap
the richest reward by promoting
higher and better type OF manhood
and womanhood.

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. 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 lite
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
Ia 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 its place sat
isfying substitute in the form of more
pleasing recreation.
